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:

  1. A scrolling list of alternatives

  2. An editable text field for the selected alternative

  3. Labels for the text field

  4. Four buttons
  5. 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.
