NAME
XmCreateSelectionDialog — The SelectionBox SelectionDialog convenience creation function

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/SelectioB.h>
Widget XmCreateSelectionDialog(
Widget parent,
String name,
ArgList arglist,
Cardinal argcount);

DESCRIPTION

XmCreateSelectionDialog is a convenience creation function that creates a DialogShell and an unmanaged SelectionBox child of the DialogShell. A SelectionDialog offers the user a choice from a list of alternatives and gets a selection. It includes the following:

•   A scrolling list of alternatives

•   An editable text field for the selected alternative

•   Labels for the text field

•   Four buttons

The default button labels are OK, Cancel, Apply, and Help. One additional WorkArea child may be added to the SelectionBox after creation.

XmCreateSelectionDialog forces the value of the SelectionBox resource XmNdialogType to XmDIALOG_SELECTION.

XmCreateSelectionDialog forces the value of the Shell resource XmNallowShellResize to True.

Use XtManageChild to pop up the SelectionDialog (passing the SelectionBox as the widget parameter); use XtUnmanageChild to pop it down.
