Shell(3X)Shell(3X)NAMEShell — The Shell widget class
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <X11/Shell.h>
VERSION
This page documents version 1.2 of the Motif library.
DESCRIPTIONShell is a top-level widget (with only one managed child) that encapsu‐
lates 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 pro‐
grammer to specify data. The programmer can also set the resource val‐
ues 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).

Specifies that if this resource is False, the Shell widget instance
returns XtGeometryNo to all geometry requests from its children. Spec‐
ifies the pointer to a function that is called when the Shell widget
instance is popped up by XtPopup. The function creates the child wid‐
get 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. 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 to change the values of the XmNx, XmNy, XmNwidth, and
XmNheight resources. Specifies this is True if the widget instance is
a temporary window which should be ignored by the window manager.
Applications and users should not normally alter this resource. Speci‐
fies a list of callbacks that is called when the widget instance is
popped down by XtPopdown. Specifies a list of callbacks that is called
when the widget instance is popped up by XtPopup. Specifies a True
value if 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. Specifies the visual
used in creating the widget.
Inherited Resources
Shell inherits behavior and resources from the following superclass.
For a complete description of each resource, refer to the man page for
that superclass.
