Porting X applications to Win32

   I am currently looking into the feasibility of porting an X application to
   Windows NT/Win32. My X application consists of two cooperating processes;
   a UI engine and a graphics engine. Amongst other things, the UI engine is
   responsible for creating graphics windows within a strictly defined presentation
   area, and then passing the handles to these graphics windows to the graphics
   engine. The graphics engine is then able to draw graphics and process X events
   in these windows, just as if it had created them itself. My question is this.
   Will Windows NT/Win32 support this type of architecture (ie sharing windows
   between different processes) ?

   Thanks
   John Mason
