Description

A UIshell is a window that holds other widgets. It, along with its alternative UIapp, is the parent object of the UIpanel widgets on which all other visible widgets are placed.

The UIapp reference page lists the differences between UIapp and UIshell:

• See UIapp

In Motif, UIshells do not require a parent. They are managed by the window manager. In Windows, UIshells require a UIapp as parent.

title

String. Specifies the string that labels the window at the top of the window manager's title bar. The default is "UIshell".

This value is read only.

This value is read only.

This value is read/write.

&menu

See UIcmdList . A reference to a UIcmdList that defines a pulldown menu or series of pulldown menus across the top of the UIshell. This menu would provide the basic controls for the window, such as File, Save, Exit, etc.

String. Set the name of the X11 display (on Unix systems only). The shell window appears on the named X11 display if it is available.

shellParent <Not visible in Network Editor> =1

Integer. If =1, UIshells are allowed to have UIshells as parents. This is the default. Notice this sub-object is inherited from the UIconnection class (see above).

cancel

Integer. Set to 1 by the application if the window is closed via the window manager.

showStatusBar =0

Boolean. If = 1, UIshells can display messages in the status bar at the bottom of the window. If=0, disables all status strings. The default is 0. Message is in statusString.
