This argument is unused.

num_argsSpecifies the number of elements in args. 

Returns

A newly created shell widget of class widget_class. 

Availability

Superseded by XtAppCreateShell(). 

Description

XtCreateApplicationShell() creates and returns a shell widget of class widget_class.  The created widget has no parent−it is at the root of a widget tree and at the top of the resource name hierarchy.  XtCreateApplicationShell() creates the widget by calling XtAppCreateShell() passing a NULL application_name, the application_class that was passed to XtInitialize(), the display that was opened by XtInitialize() and the widget_class, args, and num_args arguments. 

Usage

XtCreateApplicationShell() has been superseded by XtAppCreateShell(), which is substantially more flexible.  You can continue to use XtCreateApplicationShell() only if you initialize your application with XtInitialize().  We recommend that you use XtAppInitialize(), XtAppCreateShell(), and the other XtApp*() application context specific functions.  See XtAppCreateShell() for more information.
