XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt)	   XT FUNCTIONS	  XtCreatePopupShell(3Xt)


NAME
       XtCreatePopupShell, XtVaCreatePopupShell - create a popup
       shell

SYNTAX
       Widget XtCreatePopupShell(name, widget_class, parent,
       args, num_args)
	     String name;
	     WidgetClass widget_class;
	     Widget parent;
	     ArgList args;
	     Cardinal num_args;

       Widget XtVaCreatePopupShell(name, widget_class, parent,
       ...)
	     String name;
	     WidgetClass widget_class;
	     Widget parent;

ARGUMENTS
       args	 Specifies the argument list to override the
		 resource defaults.

       name	 Specifies the text name for the created shell
		 widget.

       num_args	 Specifies the number of arguments in the argu
		 ment list.

       parent	 Specifies the parent widget.

       widget_class
		 Specifies the widget class pointer for the cre
		 ated shell widget.

       ...	 Specifies the variable argument list to override
		 the resource defaults.

DESCRIPTION
       The XtCreatePopupShell function ensures that the specified
       class is a subclass of Shell and, rather than using
       insert_child to attach the widget to the parent's children
       list, attaches the shell to the parent's pop-ups list
       directly.

       A spring-loaded pop-up invoked from a translation table
       already must exist at the time that the translation is
       invoked, so the translation manager can find the shell by
       name.  Pop-ups invoked in other ways can be created ``on-
       the-fly'' when the pop-up actually is needed.  This
       delayed creation of the shell is particularly useful when
       you pop up an unspecified number of pop-ups.  You can look
       to see if an appropriate unused shell (that is, not cur
       rently popped up) exists and create a new shell if needed.
