Is there any way to retrieve the application class and name that was specified to XtDisplayInitialize. Our investigation led us to believe that these values are managed internally within the Xt toolkit and access to the pertinent data is restricted to Xt. -- Gerry Attilio 205-730-1787 uunet!ingr!b17d!gja!gja Software Tools IW17D1 b17d!gja!gja@ingr.com

One way I know of is through the ICCCM convenience functions: XGetClassHint(Display *, Window, XClassHint *) Also, the info is stored in the ApplicationShell (created by XtInitialize) in the xrm_class and/or class fields. You could probably cheat by: XrmClass c; char *class; ApplicationShellWidget a; a = (ApplicationShellWidget) XtInialize(...) c = a->application.xrm_class; class = a->application.class; ... I would suggest something like: toplevel = XtInitialize(...); XGetClassHint(XtDisplay(toplevel), XtWindow(toplevel), &classHint); Or maybe....

These "hints" are stored as properties on the top-level window, so they are accessible via standard Xlib calls. Look at XGetClassHint. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Yang Silicon Graphics, Inc. mikey@sgi.com 415/335-1786
