Hi all.
First, Thanks for your requests.
Second, I am going to put a code where you can see what I am pretending.
----------------------------
pid = fork();
switch(pid)
{
case 0:
if (execl("./myXapplication","./myXapplication","param",NULL) < 0)
perror("execl");
break;
case -1:
fprintf(stderr,"Error during the process of fork()\n");
break;
default:
// I am going to listen for the event number 16 (CreateNotify)
while (!XCheckTypedEvent(display,16,&event));
anyevent = event.xany;
win_id = anyevent.window;
fprintf(stdout, "The window have this ID: %x\n",win_id);
// wait for the son
while (pid != wait(NULL));
fprintf(stdout, "Execution finished\n");
}
----------------------------
The problem is that XCheckTypedEvent() can not capture the event
CreateNotify for the window that create myXapplication.
Really, XCheckTypedEvent() can not capture any CreateNotify event. When
this program is running I open windows but the function do not capture
nothing.
Any Idea?.
Thanks.
Edu.
