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
