- The Desktop Intergration Guide Apendix D has documentation for the
- Deskset Defined ToolTalk Messages. The one BIG confusion with this is
- that it uses the X-Server to actually pass the data by setting a selection
- atom and passing its name. Then the receiving process pulls it over using
- standard X Selection/Dragndrop. (see the dispatch_data and retrieve_data
- messages).
-
- Note that pageview has an otype = Sun_DeskSet_Object_pageview and
- a ptype of Sun_DeskSet_pageview so you launch it by sending an Object
- message launch to Sun_DeskSet_Object_pageview then from then on
- you communicate with it using handler messages and setting the
- handler procid to that of the returned launch messages procid.

- Good luck,
