[comp.windows.x] Question on Window information.

slp@genrad.uucp (Steven L. Peters) (07/13/90)

I'm trying to implement an event capture / playback system.  In order
to play events back at different times, I need to be able to
differentiate between two windows.  Besides window numbers (which can
change if I try to playback from a different session), is there
information which will allow me to find a window of a client uniquely?

I've considered using current state information, like size and
position, but something that identifies a window by name would really
be useful.

My concern is mostly for two children of the same window.  Other cases
can be handled.  How do I tell the difference between these two
children?

If it's not possible to do through XLib, is it possible to do if I sit
and monitor the traffic to the server (like xscope)?

Just questions...
