When working with RECORD you use a context type. When having made one such
you can:

 1 Query the state
  -------------------
  Done using the function XRecordGetContext

  The request "RecordGetContext" is sent after the
  function XRecordGetContext has been called

  2 Start/stop recording
  -------------------
  Done using the function XRecordEnableContext/XRecordDisableContext

  The request RecordEnableContext is sent after the
  function XRecordEnableContext has been called

  The request RecordDisableContext is sent after the
  function XRecordDisableContext has been called

Calling the reply? Can you please give some more info? Do you mean sending?

Can you show me your source code?

Where is your code located? In the client or the server?

This is right.
