3237.0. "DECWindow create program" by SALMON::HARRIS (rockin all over the world) Tue Aug 21 1990 12:05

    Hi there,
    
    I've been given the task of writing a program to create a DECWindow.
    I have the student guide from DECWindow Programming 1 that I took back
    in the spring. Naturally, I never used it till now and am not quite
    sure where to start.
    
    Is there a generic create program that I can obtain somewhere and then
    modify to suit my customers needs?
    
    Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated!

3237.1QUARK::LIONELFree advice is worth every centTue Aug 21 1990 12:489
There are a number of example programs in the DECW$EXAMPLES directory, but
I would recommend that you read through the VMS Guide to DECwindows Applications
Programming, which introduces the concepts you need and walks through several
examples.

Your question is really ambiguous, since there is no such thing as 
"a DECwindow". After reading the manual, you should understand better.

Re: .0

If by "create a DECwindow" you mean "create a DECterm window" (from a program),
you need to use the DECwTermPort routine.  This is described in the release
notes or new features manual, and the are also several notes on it in the
HANNAH::DECW$DISK:[PUBLIC]DECTERM conference.
