Question: I am developing an X-windows interface to a software. Curses is
used by the software for screen management. I am supposed to
provide interface for a particular window which is the Menu for
the system. In "X" environment, the curses uses "xterm" for its
screen management. When the software runs in "X" environment, the
screen would remain the same functionally. However, the Menu
window shall not be displayed. Instead, Xwindows is used to show
the Menu.
The problem is to keep "xterm" and the "xwindow" together. Although,
it is possible to get the coordinates of the "xterm" and place the
"xwindow" adjacent to it, it would be difficult to manage an event
like resizing of xterm when there should be corresponding change in
the adjacent xwindow.
I would like to know if xterm can be manipulated in Xwindows. For
example, can an xterm be made a child of a form widget?
If yes, how?
Please email the replies directly.
Thanks...
