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 argument list.

  parent    Specifies the parent widget.

  widget_class
	    Specifies the widget class pointer for the created shell widget.

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

DESCRIPTION
  The XtCreatePopupShell function ensures that the specified class is a sub-
  class 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 currently popped up) exists and create a new shell if needed.
