NAME

       Shell — The Shell widget class

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       #include <X11/Shell.h>

DESCRIPTION

       Shell  is  a  top-level  widget  (with  only  one  managed  child) that
       encapsulates the interaction with the window manager.

       At the time the shell’s child is managed, the child’s width is used for
       both widgets if the shell is unrealized and no width has been specified
       for the shell. Otherwise, the shell’s width is used for  both  widgets.
       The same relations hold for the height of the shell and its child.

   Classes
       Shell inherits behavior and resources from Composite and Core.

       The class pointer is shellWidgetClass.

       The class name is Shell.

   New Resources
       The  following  table  defines  a  set  of widget resources used by the
       programmer to specify data. The programmer can also  set  the  resource
       values  for the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To
       reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults  file,  remove
       the  XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify one of
       the defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file, remove  the  Xm
       prefix and use the remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase,
       but include any underscores between words).  The codes  in  the  access
       column  indicate if the given resource can be set at creation time (C),
       set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is
       not applicable (N/A).

       XmNallowShellResize
                 Specifies  that  if  this resource is False, the Shell widget
                 instance returns XtGeometryNo to all geometry  requests  from
                 its  children.  All Motif convenience create dialog functions
                 override this default value and  set  XmNallowShellResize  to
                 True.

       XmNcreatePopupChildProc
                 Specifies  the  pointer to a function that is called when the
                 Shell widget instance is popped up by XtPopup.  The  function
                 creates  the child widget when the shell is popped up instead
                 of when the application starts up.  This can be used  if  the
                 child  needs to be reconfigured each time the shell is popped
                 up.  The function takes one argument, the  popup  shell,  and
                 returns  no  result.   It is called after the popup callbacks
                 specified by XmNpopupCallback.

       XmNgeometry
                 Specifies the desired geometry for the widget instance.  This
                 resource  is  examined  only  when  the  widget  instance  is
                 unrealized and the number of its managed children is changed.
                 It  is used to change the values of the XmNx, XmNy, XmNwidth,
                 and XmNheight resources.  When XtGetValues is called on  this
                 resource,  the  returned  value  is  a  pointer to the actual
                 resource value and should not be  freed.  In  addition,  this
                 resource  is  not  copied  on creation or by XtSetValues. The
                 application must ensure that the string remains  valid  until
                 the shell is realized.

       XmNoverrideRedirect
                 If  True,  specifies  that the widget instance is a temporary
                 window  that  should  be  ignored  by  the  window   manager.
                 Applications   and  users  should  not  normally  alter  this
                 resource.

       XmNpopdownCallback
                 Specifies a list of callbacks that is called when the  widget
                 instance is popped down by XtPopdown.

       XmNpopupCallback
                 Specifies  a list of callbacks that is called when the widget
                 instance is popped up by XtPopup.   The  second  argument  to
                 XtPopup must be XtGrabNone.

       XmNsaveUnder
                 If  True, specifies that it is desirable to save the contents
                 of the screen beneath this widget instance,  avoiding  expose
                 events  when the instance is unmapped. This is a hint, and an
                 implementation  may  save  contents  whenever   it   desires,
                 including always or never.

       XmNvisual Specifies the visual used in creating the widget.

   Inherited Resources
       Shell  inherits behavior and resources from the superclass described in
       the following table.  For a  complete  description  of  each  resource,
       refer to the reference page for that superclass.
