Functions/Macros: XtIsTransientShell()DescriptionTransientShell is a subclass of VendorShell that is used for popup
shell widgets, such as dialog boxes, that don't bypass window
management. Most window managers will not allow the user to iconify a
TransientShell window on its own, and may iconify it automatically if
the window that it is transient for is iconified. If you want a shell
that can be iconified, use TopLevelShell. If you want a shell
independent of the window manager, use OverrideShell.
New ResourcesTransientShell defines the following resources:
Name Class Type Default Access
XtNtransientFor XtCTransientFor Widget NULL CSG
XtNtransientFor
The widget from which the TransientShell will pop up or some other
widget that the TransientShell is logically "transient for." The
window of this widget will be stored in the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR
property on the TransientShell window, where it can be used by
ICCCM-compliant window managers. If the value of this resource is
NULL or identifies an unrealized widget, then TransientShell uses
the value of the WMShell resource XtNwindowGroup.
Inherited ResourcesTransientShell inherits the following resources. The resources are
listed alphabetically, along with the superclass that defines them.
TransientShell sets the resources XtNtransient and XtNsaveUnder to
True.

Class Structure
The TransientShell class structure contains only an extension field:
typedef struct {
XtPointer extension;/* pointer to extension record */
} TransientShellClassPart;
typedef struct _TransientShellClassRec {
CoreClassPart core_class;
CompositeClassPart composite_class;
ShellClassPart shell_class;
WMShellClassPart wm_shell_class;
VendorShellClassPart vendor_shell_class;
TransientShellClassPart transient_shell_class;
} TransientShellClassRec;
There is no extension defined for TransientShell, and the extension
field should be NULL.
Instance Structure
The TransientShell instance structure contains at least the following
fields (which need not be in this order):
typedef struct {
Widget transient_for;
} TransientShellPart;
typedef struct {
CorePart core;
CompositePart composite;
ShellPart shell;
WMShellPart wm;
VendorShellPart vendor;
TransientShellPart transient;
} TransientShellRec, *TransientShellWidget;
