I have to implement a program that requires the window_id and display_id of that process. I have tried several ways all of which have one thing in common. They do not work! Does anyone know how, if possible, to access the ids of a window that has been created by the session manager using the create terminal window option? Cheers for any info in advance. Gary.

|     The programs SET_TITLE and CYCLE from the DW_EXAMPLES conference do
    what I think your after.  SET_TITLE basically gets the window id of the
    window with current input focus and then does a querytree to get a list
    of the children, finds the one with decw$terminal class name and then
    modifies the title.  CYCLE keeps track of all windows it finds on the
    screen so that it can 'cycle' (F5) thru the windows.
    
    I think that this is what you may be after.  Hope this helps.
