I am new to be here and having similar problem in finding mouse
position and controlling windows.
I want to control(open from icon or close) windows which may be
created by ***other processes*** such as wsh or so. For example, a clock,
a calendar and a wsh window are opened by running user.ps when I login.
Then, I want to close those windows to icons or vise versa by moving
mouse cursor position in a different process calling setvaluator(MOUSEs,).
This is possible on SUN workstations SunView by looing for its
parent window and whose children by calling win_getlink(),
win_screenget(), and so on.
I assume the 4Sight system must be housekeeping those information to
know which window or icon, whatever process created them, is being
located by mouse, too. I can't find any documantation about this so
far.
Could anybody help me? Thank you.
