20 void XtCallbackExclusive(Widget w, XtPointer client_data, XtPointer
21 call_data);
22
23 void MenuPopup(String shell_name);
24
26 call_data Specifies the callback data, which is not used by this proce‐
27 dure.
28
29 client_data
30 Specifies the pop-up shell.
31
32 grab_kind Specifies the way in which user events should be constrained.
33
34 popup_shell
35 Specifies the widget shell.
36
37 w Specifies the widget.

40 The XtPopup function performs the following:
41
42 · Calls XtCheckSubclass to ensure popup_shell is a subclass of
43 Shell.
44
45 · Generates an error if the shell's popped_up field is already True.
46
47 · Calls the callback procedures on the shell's popup_callback list.
48
49 · Sets the shell popped_up field to True, the shell spring_loaded
50 field to False, and the shell grab_kind field from grab_kind.
51
52 · If the shell's create_popup_child field is non-NULL, XtPopup calls
53 it with popup_shell as the parameter.
54
55 · If grab_kind is either XtGrabNonexclusive or XtGrabExclusive, it
56 calls:
57
58 XtAddGrab(popup_shell, (grab_kind == XtGrabExclusive), False)
59
60 · Calls XtRealizeWidget with popup_shell specified.
61
62 · Calls XMapWindow with popup_shell specified.
63
64 The XtPopupSpringLoaded function performs exactly as XtPopup except
65 that it sets the shell spring_loaded field to True and always calls
66 XtAddGrab with exclusive True and spring_loaded True.
67
68 The XtCallbackNone, XtCallbackNonexclusive, and XtCallbackExclusive
69 functions call XtPopup with the shell specified by the client data
70 argument and grab_kind set as the name specifies. XtCallbackNone,
71 XtCallbackNonexclusive, and XtCallbackExclusive specify XtGrabNone,
72 XtGrabNonexclusive, and XtGrabExclusive, respectively. Each function
73 then sets the widget that executed the callback list to be insensitive
74 by using XtSetSensitive. Using these functions in callbacks is not
75 required. In particular, an application must provide customized code
76 for callbacks that create pop-up shells dynamically or that must do
77 more than desensitizing the button.
78
79 MenuPopup is known to the translation manager, which must perform spe‐
80 cial actions for spring-loaded pop-ups. Calls to MenuPopup in a trans‐
81 lation specification are mapped into calls to a nonexported action pro‐
82 cedure, and the translation manager fills in parameters based on the
83 event specified on the left-hand side of a translation.
84
85 If MenuPopup is invoked on ButtonPress (possibly with modifiers), the
86 translation manager pops up the shell with grab_kind set to XtGrabEx‐
87 clusive and spring_loaded set to True. If MenuPopup is invoked on
88 EnterWindow (possibly with modifiers), the translation manager pops up
89 the shell with grab_kind set to XtGrabNonexclusive and spring_loaded
90 set to False. Otherwise, the translation manager generates an error.
91 When the widget is popped up, the following actions occur:
92
93 · Calls XtCheckSubclass to ensure popup_shell is a subclass of
94 Shell.
95
96 · Generates an error if the shell's popped_up field is already True.
97
98 · Calls the callback procedures on the shell's popup_callback list.
99
100 · Sets the shell popped_up field to True and the shell grab_kind and
101 spring_loaded fields appropriately.
102
103 · If the shell's create_popup_child field is non-NULL, it is called
104 with popup_shell as the parameter.
105
106 · Calls:
107
108 XtAddGrab(popup_shell, (grab_kind == XtGrabExclusive), spring_loaded)
109
110 · Calls XtRealizeWidget with popup_shell specified.
111
112 · Calls XMapWindow with popup_shell specified.
113
114 (Note that these actions are the same as those for XtPopup.) MenuPopup
115 tries to find the shell by searching the widget tree starting at the
116 parent of the widget in which it is invoked. If it finds a shell with
117 the specified name in the pop-up children of that parent, it pops up
118 the shell with the appropriate parameters. Otherwise, it moves up the
119 parent chain as needed. If MenuPopup gets to the application widget
120 and cannot find a matching shell, it generates an error.
