Export Display in Windows
|
|
| Gaurav Kataria 2004-05-10, 5:44 pm |
| Dear All,
I have a need to EXPORT my WINDOWS Display to another Windows box!
Similar to what you can do in UNIX, where you can export the display
using
EXPORT DISPLAY=<ipdaddress>:0.0 to another machaine.
Does anyone know if this is possible in windows? I do not want to use
applications like VNC or Netmeeting or Remote Desktop, which export
the entire desktop. I want to be able to export a specific dialog from
my application to another machine (eg: an error message box).
Do let me know if there is any s/w that allows me to do this or if
any of you have some code that I can use to be able to do this.
Thanks,
Gaurav
India.

When you explain what this has to do with programming on Unix, I'll
tell you how to do it.

I am sure some Unix programmers might have faced this problem, when
they ported certain application into windows and needed a similiar
feature. So you guys are the lot who might have a solution also.
thanks for your help.

It's still not a Unix programming question, but have you tried any of
the X servers for mswindows?

The Windows application would have to be written as an X client, rather
than using the standard Windows API.

The OP mentioned porting Unix programs to mswindows. Most graphical
Unix programs already use X. Besides, which would you rather use, X
or win32?

I'm sure that some Unix programmers have also had to change the tires on
their cars. However, this does not make discussion of tire changing
tools topical for comp.unix.programmer or comp.unix.internals.
Similarly, discussion of MSWindows capabilities is also not topical for
comp.unix.programmer or comp.unix.internals.

No he didn't. He said "similar to what you can do in UNIX", and that's
the only mention of Unix in his post.
Basically, he seems to be wondering if there's something in Windows
that's analogous to the way Unix uses X to put windows on a remote
display. The answer is that X is not really part of Unix, it's a
generic network protocol and API. There's nothing preventing someone
from providing an X client library on Windows. There may even be a DLL
that automatically translates Windows's standard API to X protocol
operations. If this exists, I'd expect folks over in the Windows
newsgroups to be much more knowledgeable about it than us here in
Unix-land.
