XtCreatePopupShell, XtVaCreatePopupShell - create a popup shell

args      Specifies the argument list to override the resource defaults.

       name      Specifies the text name for the created shell widget.

       num_args  Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

       parent    Specifies the parent widget.

       widget_class
                 Specifies the widget class pointer for the created shell widget.

       ...       Specifies the variable argument list to override the resource defaults.

       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
       appropriate unused shell (that is, not currently popped up) exists and create a new shell if needed.
