DescriptionXtVaAppCreateShell() creates a top-level shell widget that is the root
of a widget tree and a resource name hierarchy (i.e. a widget that has
no parent). It is identical to XtAppCreateShell() except that the args
array of resource names and values and the num_args argument of that
function are replaced with a NULL-terminated variable-length argument
list.
See XtAppCreateShell() for more information on this function. See
XtVaSetValues() for more information on using variable-length argument
lists to specify resources.
Usage
Most applications create secondary top-level shells with XtCreatePopup‐
Shell() which creates a widget in the same resource hierarchy as the
rest of the application. Most applications can use XtAppInitialize()
or XtVaAppInitialize() to initialize the toolkit and create their first
shell.
