NAME

       XmActivateProtocol -- A VendorShell function that activates a protocol

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Protocols.h>
       void XmActivateProtocol(
       Widget shell,
       Atom property,
       Atom protocol);

DESCRIPTION

       XmActivateProtocol activates a protocol. It updates the handlers and the property if the shell is realized. It is sometimes useful to allow
       a protocol's state information (callback lists, and so on) to persist, even though the client may choose to  temporarily  resign  from  the
       interaction.  This  is  supported  by allowing a protocol to be in one of two states: active or inactive. If the protocol is active and the
       shell is realized, the property contains the protocol Atom.  If the protocol is inactive, the Atom is not present in the property.

       XmActivateWMProtocol is a convenience interface.  It calls XmActivateProtocol with the property value set to the atom returned by interning
       WM_PROTOCOLS.

       shell	 Specifies the widget with which the protocol property is associated

       property  Specifies the protocol property

       protocol  Specifies the protocol Atom
