### Classes

WMShell inherits behavior and resources from Core, Composite, and Shell classes.

The class pointer is wmShellWidgetClass.

The class name is WMShell.

### New Resources

The following table defines a set of widget resources used by the programmer to specify data. The programmer can also set the resource values for the inherited classes to set attributes for this widget. To reference a resource by name or by class in a .Xdefaults file, remove the XmN or XmC prefix and use the remaining letters. To specify one of the defined values for a resource in a .Xdefaults file, remove the Xm prefix and use the remaining letters (in either lowercase or uppercase, but include any underscores between words). The codes in the access column indicate if the given resource can be set at creation time (C), set by using XtSetValues (S), retrieved by using XtGetValues (G), or is not applicable (N/A).

XmNbaseHeight |  | Specifies the base for a progression of preferred heights for the window manager to use in sizing the widget. The preferred heights are XmNbaseHeight plus integral multiples of XmNheightInc, with a minimum of XmNminHeight and a maximum of XmNmaxHeight. If an initial value is not supplied for XmNbaseHeight but is supplied for XmNbaseWidth, the value of XmNbaseHeight is set to 0 when the widget is realized.
XmNbaseWidth |  | Specifies the base for a progression of preferred widths for the window manager to use in sizing the widget. The preferred widths are XmNbaseWidth plus integral multiples of XmNwidthInc, with a minimum of XmNminWidth and a maximum of XmNmaxWidth. If an initial value is not supplied for XmNbaseWidth but is supplied for XmNbaseHeight, the value of XmNbaseWidth is set to 0 when the widget is realized.
XmNheightInc |  | Specifies the increment for a progression of preferred heights for the window manager to use in sizing the widget. The preferred heights are XmNbaseHeight plus integral multiples of XmNheightInc, with a minimum of XmNminHeight and a maximum of XmNmaxHeight. If an initial value is not supplied for XmNheightInc but is supplied for XmNwidthInc, the value of XmNheightInc is set to 1 when the widget is realized.
XmNiconMask |  | Specifies a bitmap that could be used by the window manager to clip the XmNiconPixmap bitmap to make the icon nonrectangular.
XmNiconPixmap |  | Specifies a bitmap that could be used by the window manager as the application's icon.
XmNiconWindow |  | Specifies the ID of a window that could be used by the window manager as the application's icon.
XmNiconX |  | Specifies a suitable place to put the application's icon; this is a hint to the window manager in root window coordinates. Since the window manager controls icon placement policy, this may be ignored. If no initial value is specified, the value is set to -1 when the widget is realized.
XmNiconY |  | Specifies a suitable place to put the application's icon; this is a hint to the window manager in root window coordinates. Since the window manager controls icon placement policy, this may be ignored. If no initial value is specified, the value is set to -1 when the widget is realized.
XmNinitialState |  | Specifies the state in which the application wishes the widget instance to start. It must be one of the constants NormalState or IconicState.
XmNinput |  | Specifies the application's input model for this widget and its descendants. The meaning of a True or False value for this resource depends on the presence or absence of a WM_TAKE_FOCUS atom in the WM_PROTOCOLS property:

Input Model | XmNinput | WM_TAKE_FOCUS
No input | False | Absent
Passive | True | Absent
Locally active | True | Present
Globally active | False | Present

|  | For more information on input models, see the X Consortium Standard `Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual.`
XmNmaxAspectX |  | Specifies the numerator of the maximum aspect ratio (X/Y) that the application wishes the widget instance to have.
XmNmaxAspectY |  | Specifies the denominator of the maximum aspect ratio (X/Y) that the application wishes the widget instance to have.
XmNmaxHeight |  | Specifies the maximum height that the application wishes the widget instance to have. If an initial value is not supplied for XmNmaxHeight but is supplied for XmNmaxWidth, the value of XmNmaxHeight is set to 32767 when the widget is realized.
XmNmaxWidth |  | Specifies the maximum width that the application wishes the widget instance to have. If an initial value is not supplied for XmNmaxWidth but is supplied for XmNmaxHeight, the value of XmNmaxWidth is set to 32767 when the widget is realized.
XmNminAspectX |  | Specifies the numerator of the minimum aspect ratio (X/Y) that the application wishes the widget instance to have.
XmNminAspectY |  | Specifies the denominator of the minimum aspect ratio (X/Y) that the application wishes the widget instance to have.
XmNminHeight |  | Specifies the minimum height that the application wishes the widget instance to have. If an initial value is not supplied for XmNminHeight but is supplied for XmNminWidth, the value of XmNminHeight is set to 1 when the widget is realized.
XmNminWidth |  | Specifies the minimum width that the application wishes the widget instance to have. If an initial value is not supplied for XmNminWidth but is supplied for XmNminHeight, the value of XmNminWidth is set to 1 when the widget is realized.
XmNtitle |  | Specifies the application name to be displayed by the window manager. The default is the icon name if specified, otherwise the name of the application.
XmNtitleEncoding |  | Specifies a property type that represents the encoding of the XmNtitle string. If a language procedure has been set, the default is None; otherwise, the default is XA_STRING. When the widget is realized, if the value is None, the corresponding name is assumed to be in the current locale. The name is passed to XmbTextListToTextProperty with an encoding style of XStdICCTextStyle. The resulting encoding is "STRING" if the name is fully convertible to "STRING," otherwise "COMPOUND_TEXT." The values of the encoding resources are not changed; they remain None.
XmNtransient |  | Specifies a Boolean value that is True if the widget instance is transient, typically a popup on behalf of another widget. The window manager may treat a transient widget's window differently from other windows. For example, a window manager may not iconify a transient window separately from its associated application. Applications and users should not normally alter this resource.
XmNwaitForWm |  | When True, specifies that the Intrinsics waits the length of time given by the XmNwmTimeout resource for the window manager to respond to certain actions before assuming that there is no window manager present. This resource is altered by the Intrinsics as it receives, or fails to receive, responses from the window manager.
XmNwidthInc |  | Specifies the base for a progression of preferred widths for the window manager to use in sizing the widget. The preferred widths are XmNbaseWidth plus integral multiples of XmNwidthInc, with a minimum of XmNminWidth and a maximum of XmNmaxWidth. If an initial value is not supplied for XmNwidthInc but is supplied for XmNheightInc, the value of XmNwidthInc is set to 1 when the widget is realized.
XmNwindowGroup |  | Specifies the ID of a window with which this widget instance is associated. By convention, this window is the "leader" of a group of windows. A window manager may treat all windows in a group in some way; for example, it may always move or iconify them together. If no initial value is specified, the value is set to the window of the first realized ancestor widget in the parent hierarchy when the widget is realized. If a value of XtUnspecifiedWindowGroup is specified, no window group is set.
XmNwinGravity |  | Specifies the window gravity for use by the window manager in positioning the widget. If no initial value is specified, the value is set when the widget is realized. If XmNgeometry is not NULL, XmNwinGravity is set to the window gravity returned by XWMGeometry. Otherwise, XmNwinGravity is set to NorthWestGravity.
XmNwmTimeout |  | Specifies the length of time that the Intrinsics waits for the window manager to respond to certain actions before assuming that there is no window manager present. The value is in milliseconds and must not be negative.
