XtMenuPopup()							 XtMenuPopup()

Name
  XtMenuPopup - built-in action for popping up a widget.

Synopsis (Translation Table)
  <Event sequence>: XtMenuPopup(shell_name)

Inputs
  shell_name
	    Specifies the name of the widget shell to pop up.

Availability
  This action is named MenuPopup prior to Release 4.

Description
  XtMenuPopdown	 is  a	predefined action procedure which does not have a
  corresponding public C routine.  It can only be invoked from a transla‐
  tion table.

  XtMenuPopup  tries to find the named shell by searching the widget tree
  starting at the widget in which it is invoked.  If  it  finds	 a  shell
  with	the  specified name in the popup children of that widget, it pops
  up the shell with the appropriate parameters.	 Otherwise, it	moves  up
  the  parent  chain  to  find a popup child with the specified name.  If
  XtMenuPopup gets to the application top-level shell widget and has  not
  found a matching shell, it generates a warning and returns immediately.

  If   XtMenuPopup   is	  invoked   on	ButtonPress,  it  calls	 XtPopup‐
  SpringLoaded() on  the  specified  shell  widget.   If  XtMenuPopup  is
  invoked on KeyPress or EnterWindow, it calls XtPopup() on the specified
  shell widget with grab_kind set to XtGrabNonexclusive.  Otherwise,  the
  translation manager generates a warning message and ignores the action.

  XtMenuPopup  is specially registered with the translation manager as an
  action that will invoke a grab.  This registration is done  by  calling
  XtRegisterGrabAction() specifying owner_events True, event_mask Button‐
  PressMask   ButtonReleaseMask, and pointer_mode and keyboard_mode Grab‐
  ModeAsync.

Usage
  Note that XtMenuPopup is an action procedure; you cannot call it from C
  code.

  MenuPopup is a synonym for XtMenuPopup.

  Popup shells can also be popped up explicitly using XtPopup(), XtPopup‐
  SpringLoaded()  or one of the predefined popup callback procedures (see
  XtCallbackExclusive()).

  The action XtMenuPopdown can be used to pop down a shell widget from	a
  translation table.
