NAME

   XtAppCreateShell, XtVaAppCreateShell - create top-level widget instance

SYNTAX

   Widget XtAppCreateShell(String application_name, String
          application_class, WidgetClass widget_class, Display *display,
          ArgList args, Cardinal num_args);

   Widget XtVaAppCreateShell(String application_name, String
          application_class, WidgetClass widget_class, Display *display,
          ...);

ARGUMENTS

   application_name
             Specifies the name of the application instance.

   application_class
             Specifies the class name of this application, which usually
             is the generic name for all instances of this application.

   widget_class
             Specifies the widget class that the application top-level
             widget should be.

   display   Specifies the display from which to get the resources.

   args      Specifies the argument list from which to get the resources.

   num_args  Specifies the number of arguments in the argument list.

   ...       Specifies the variable argument list from which to get the
             resources.

DESCRIPTION

   The XtAppCreateShell function saves the specified application name and
   application class for qualifying all widget resource specifiers.  The
   application name and application class are used as the left-most
   components in all widget resource names for this application.
   XtAppCreateShell should be used to create a new logical application
   within a program or to create a shell on another display.  In the first
   case, it allows the specification of a new root in the resource
   hierarchy.  In the second case, it uses the resource database
   associated with the other display.

   Note that the widget returned by XtAppCreateShell has the WM_COMMAND
   property set for session managers (see Chapter 4).
