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:

A scrolling list of alternatives
An editable text field for the selected alternative
Labels for the text field
Four buttons

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.

Use XtManageChild to pop up the SelectionDialog (passing the SelectionBox as the widget parameter); use XtUnmanageChild to pop it down.
