[comp.windows.x.motif] InterViews and Motif

raphael@research.canon.oz.au (Andrew Raphael) (11/06/90)

Has anyone tried integrating Motif applications generated by a UIMS program
and InterViews? 

I'd like to generate my user interface with a UIMS like TeleUSE or
XDesigner, but write the application in C++ and use the InterViews toolkit.
Getting the callbacks to be C++ functions is easy, but unfortunately both
the generated application and Interviews have main event loops.  I'd like
to use the Motif event loop for the user interface, and the InterViews
event loop for events in a drawing area. 

I've had an idea to use two processes: the generated user interface with
menus, dialogs and decorations, and an undecorated InterViews window which
follows the user interface window around.  Inter-process communication
coordinates eveything.  Does this ring warning bells in anyone's head? 

Regards,
