A customer of mine wants to have 4 windows that have only one
queue of events, that means that when one window after an event
does "something" this "something" must occur on all the windows.
Also all the messages must appear on all the windows.
I don't know if this is possible, I'm new with decw.
Can anyone help me ?
Thanks,
Gea.

X only has one event queue per display. XNextEvent() gives you the next event on the queue, regardless of which window it came from. If you want to treat all events the same no matter which window they came from, don't discriminate based on the window ID in the event structure. To cause updates to one window to occur on the other windows, you will have to code your event processing so that you perform operations on all four windows, whenever you do something. --PSW | |||||

Even simpler ... have one application that creates the four windows. When the application recognizes that an event occurred in one of the windows, it does the work to update the other windows. That is effectively what debug does. You press the step button in the main window, and Debug updates the SRC window to show the new source line, and updates the OUT window with a new message.
