- I am currently looking into the feasibility of porting an X application to
- Windows NT/Win32. My X application consists of two cooperating processes; a
- UI engine and a graphics engine. Amongst other things, the UI engine is responsible
- for creating graphics windows within a strictly defined presentation area, and then
- passing the handles to these graphics windows to the graphics engine. The graphics
- engine is then able to draw graphics and process X events in these windows, just as
- if it had created the windows itself. My question is this. Will Windows NT/Win32
- support this type of architecture (ie sharing windows between different processes) ?

- Thanks
