NAME

       XtCreatePopupShell, XtVaCreatePopupShell - create a popup shell

SYNOPSIS

       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

       Specifies the argument list to override the resource defaults.  Specifies the text name for the created shell widget.  Specifies the number
       of arguments in the argument list.  Specifies the parent widget.  Specifies the widget class pointer for the created shell widget.   Speci-
       fies 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  appropri-
       ate unused shell (that is, not currently popped up) exists and create a new shell if needed.
