1704.0. "Displaying sessions on multiple screens" by AYME::CHALUMEAU () Thu Nov 09 1989 05:15

Hello,

	Is it possible to have 3 VS3100 with VMS DECwindows and 1 mouse/keyboard
for all the screens ?
	For example I would like to run an application on a client which 
displays windows on a remote VS (I can do this) , click on the client's mouse, 
and receive the event as an event in the remote VS.

	If yes, how can I realize it (HD,SW,..) ?

	If no, what must be changed in DECwindows to obtain the results ?
	(X server, Window Manager, ....)

Thank's in advance for your help
Fran�ois

    	It sounds like your trying to do the same thing as me.  I've looked
    in HARBOR::DECWINDOWS_PROGRAMMING, Note 26.  It seems like somelse has
    tried before.  They got told about the XSendEvent in the Xlib
    documentation.  Read the note.
    
    	I also have a file of 'interesting' stuff I extracted from the
    notesfile that maybe to do with the problem we both have.  If necessary
    I'll send it ovr to you.  It's a bit big though, 400 blocks, I haven't
    had a chance to read though it yet.
    
    	In the worst possible case I think it may be possible to create a
    software interrupt which lets DECWINDOWS think that the mouse button
    has been pressed, then windows would create an Xevent for it and
    everything will come up rosy.
    
    	If I find the solution I'll let you know.

    I've changed the title of this topic to something a little more
    meaningful than "is it possible..?".
    
    Please help those looking for similar answers by providing meaningful
    titles for topics.
    
    Thanks
