I have a sort of incestuous (sp?) idea: I want interviews and Xt to share a window. I've done it with another C++ toolkit and it worked well. The strategy is to build an Xt app with a sort of dummy widget it in. I take the window from the dummy widget and create an interviews world or something inside it. Then I XtAddEventHandlers with my widget, and pass the events I'm interested on to the interviews world. From my understanding so far, all I have to do is sublcass world and window with constructors like: XtWorld::XtWorld(Display *dp) // create a world from an already opened display and XtWindow::XtWindow(XWindow xw) // create a window from an existing x window. Does this seem feasible? What I want to do is display structured text and graphics inside an Xt application (or in some other application based on X windows.) In a nutshell, I need to be able to make Glyphs etc. in an existing window with an existing connection to the server, and pass my own events to these Glyphs etc. Dan
