[comp.windows.x] combining Xt and InterViews in one process

ian@research.canon.oz.au (Ian Daniel) (01/07/91)

Has anyone on the net had any experience in combining X code and 
InterViews code within the one process. 

I am particularly looking at the case where the interactive user 
interface is written directly using Xt and a widget set such as Motif, 
while the InterViews structured graphics package is used for drawing.

The major problem area appears to be combining the event handling
mechanisms. Any thoughts?

This is all my work, I'm currently developping an X graphic toolkit based on the
InterViews graphic library which provides a set of functions with an Xt look. I
had to defined some objects overriding IV ones to provide features like
specifying the display and the window to use, thus the application can keep
control on event handling.

It works pretty well now but unfortunately it is not publicly available...
