Hi all, Have been working on JAVA for quite some time and have been using the Nabble forums quite frequently for any JAVA related issues. Although this time around for the issue I have in hand am not sure if it is possible to solve or not. Am actually working on an application for which part of its UI is developed in C++ and uses Motif while part of the UI is developed in JAVA which uses the standard AWT package. CORBA is used to communicate between C++ and JAVA. Now in a particular case I am generating an AWT event on the JAVA UI and need to capture that as an XEvent on the C++ side for some reason. Both these UI have there individual event handlers i.e. ActionListeners on the JAVA side and XEventLoop on the C++ side to handle the events occuring on them individually. But in this particular case I want to capture an AWT event by the XEventLoop on the C++ side.
Am sure this is a not a very peculiar case and there are instances where an AWT Event needs to be converted to an native event. Have come across a couple of ideas for doing the same: 1) Re-Design my XEventLoop to listen/process the AWT events as well and register the Java application as an observable for the XEventLoop. The problem with this approach is that am not sure if that is possible (dont have so much experience in working with XEvents) and even if it is possible this will require re-designing the entire XEvent mechanism which I hate to do! 2) Somehow convert the AWT event to the native XEVent since an AWT event is generated by XEvent so I believe converting it back to an XEvent should be possible. Again am not sure if this is the right thing to do since I may loose some information in doing so and am also not aware of any direct way of doing this. This task seems to be very challenging and have spent a lot of time on this but am not able to come up with a concrete solution. Hope to get some help from you all. Any help in this regard is appreciated.
