Shell(3Xm)

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.

  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 lower case or upper case, 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).

Shell Resource Set
Name | Class | Type | Default | Access
XmNallowShellResize | XmCAllowShellResize | Boolean | False | CSG
XmNcreatePopupChildProc | XmCCreatePopupChildProc | XmCreatePopupChildProc | NULL | CSG
XmNgeometry | XmCGeometry | String | NULL | CSG
XmNoverrideRedirect | XmCOverrideRedirect | Boolean | False | CSG
XmNpopdownCallback | XmCCallback | XtCallbackList | NULL | C
XmNpopupCallback | XmCCallback | XtCallbackList | NULL | C
XmNsaveUnder | XmCSaveUnder | Boolean | False | CSG

XmNallowShellResize
    Specifies that if this resource is False, then the Shell widget instance will return XtGeometryNo to all geometry requests from its children.

XmNcreatePopupChildProc
    Specifies the pointer to a function which is called when the Shell widget instance is popped up by XtPopup.

XmNgeometry
    Specifies the desired geometry for the widget instance. This resource is only examined when the widget instance is unrealized and the number of its managed children is changed. It will be used to change the values of the XmNx, XmNy, XmNwidth, and XmNheight resources.

XmNoverrideRedirect
    Specifies this is True if the widget instance is an extremely temporary window which 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.

XmNsaveUnder
    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.

  Inherited Resources
Shell inherits behavior and resources from the following superclass. For a complete description of these resources, refer to the man page for that superclass.
