Retrieving Connection Information

You can access the topmost shell created by Views by calling the member function topShell of the IlvDisplay class. The returned value must be converted to a Widget.

The Xt application context is returned by the function IlvApplicationContext. The returned value must be converted to an XtAppContext.

To get all the information about a connection to an X Window application, you must use the following functions:

XtAppContext appContext = (XtAppContext)IlvApplicationContext();

Widget topLevel = (Widget)display->topShell();

Before using the IlvApplicationContext function, add the following to the application code:

extern XtAppContext IlvApplicationContext();

To use the XtAppContext object, refer to the Xt documentation.
