Is there a Motif/Xt/Xlib call that can take a process id and determine if it has a window mapped? Should not the window manager be able to supply such information ( I can't seem to find out much detail on WM_PROTOCOLS concerning this issue). Any leads would be greatly appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Kerr Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp. Computer Sys.

Since you are spawning the child process, I assume you know what the application is you're starting. You can always walk down the window tree using standard Xlib calls and check the properties on each window it finds looking for the one associated with your child process. Note that you might have a problem if there are multiple copies off that application running. -- dan ---------------------------------------------------- O'Reilly && Associates argv@sun.com / argv@ora.com Opinions expressed reflect those of the author only.
