[comp.windows.x.motif] Recording events under Motif

gilderm@turing.cs.rpi.edu (Mark Gilder) (05/29/91)

Does anyone know of an easy way to record the interaction
of a user running an x-application under motif to some script
file (similar to RECORDER under Windows 3.0)?

Once done, this file could then be used to run the application.

This would be used in demos and/or auto-testing of applications.

Any ideas???

Thanks!

Have you looked into the XTrap server extension ? This is built
into all newer Digital X servers and there is a kit for
adding it to X11R4 servers in

	gatekeeper.dec.com:pub/X11/contrib/XTrap_v31a.tar.Z

The xtrapin and xtrapout clients do what you want (and not
just for Motif).
