Re: Windows based app.server


Nah... they were quick and dirty hacks to see if it worked... basically, in the
init code, there is a section that connects to the DC of the root Windows
Window... I changed it to take the taskbar name of the window, and used the
window's DC instead.  And then there were a few other size things, so it was
looking at the size of the window, instead of the desktop.  I dont have them
any more, as they were just my own little experimentation if such a concept
could work.  I determined : Yes, a concept could work, as long as no other
window were blocking the window you wanted to display.... I would guess you
could fix this so it woulnt depend on that, but I never looked that far...  I
have since deleted the source code...

It wouldnt be that hard to do something like this, I would immagine, but I dont
know.  I also got xwinx to display across to another Cygwin X server... just
dont try to display from your desktop to your fullsized windows server... You
will get nested image updates, causing a very unhappy and confusing display :)

Ok... enough rambling.
