Shell resource panel

The Shell resource panel is a dialog used to set resources for Shell widgets.

The panel is laid out in pages for a reasons of logic and convenience - at the top of the panel is an option menu for selecting between the pages.

To the right of the option menu is a radio box for selecting the type of Shell widget you wish to create. See your OSF/Motif Programmer's Manual if you are unsure about the various types of Shell widget on offer.

The Display page of the panel contains resources which control the visual appearance of your shell widget. These are generally font and pixmap resources, which you can either enter directly, or choose from the set of available fonts and pixmaps by clicking on the relevant resource buttons to display the Pixmap Selector dialog and Font Selector dialog.

The Dimensions page is for setting various width and height resources.

The Settings page contains various scalar and boolean valued resources. You are referred to your OSF/Motif Programmer's Manual for a proper explanation of each of these resources.

The Callbacks page allows you to associate shell events with application-defined procedures. Click on the callback of interest and the Callbacks dialog will be displayed for this purpose.

NOTES

If you cannot find the resource you want to set in this resource panel, it may be found within the Core Resources Panel (selected from the Widget menu at the top of WorkShop Visual).
