.TH XtCreatePopupShell __libmansuffix__ __xorgversion__ "XT FUNCTIONS"
.SH NAME
XtCreatePopupShell, XtVaCreatePopupShell \- create a popup shell
.SH SYNTAX
.HP
Widget XtCreatePopupShell(String \fIname\fP, WidgetClass \fIwidget_class\fP,
Widget \fIparent\fP, ArgList \fIargs\fP, Cardinal \fInum_args\fP);
.HP
Widget XtVaCreatePopupShell(String \fIname\fP, WidgetClass \fIwidget_class\fP,
Widget \fIparent\fP, ...\^); 
.SH ARGUMENTS
.ds Al to override the resource defaults
.IP \fIargs\fP 1i
Specifies the argument list \*(Al.
.ds Sh \ shell
.IP \fIname\fP 1i
Specifies the text name for the created\*(Sh widget.
.IP \fInum_args\fP 1i
Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.
.IP \fIparent\fP 1i
Specifies the parent widget.
.ds Wc \ pointer for the created shell widget
.IP \fIwidget_class\fP 1i
Specifies the widget class\*(Wc.
.IP \fI...\fP 1i
Specifies the variable argument list \*(Al.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.ZN XtCreatePopupShell
function ensures that the specified class is a subclass of
.ZN Shell
and, rather than using insert_child to attach the widget to the parent's
.IN "insert_child procedure"
children list, attaches the shell to the parent's pop-ups list directly.
.LP
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.
