For graphical programs, Redhat Linux uses the X Windows system which does support key/mouse event hooks. > (2) Can programs developped for RH9 run on KDE with full features? Not sure what you are driving at here but RH9 can be configured with a complete working KDE environment. So, yes. > (3) On RH9, can a program get the "input cursor"(or Caret, as called in > Windows) position from a text input type widgets? > (Just like in Windows, there are GetCaretPos()/SetCaretPos(), the positions > are in pixels) This depends on the widget set you're programming with. X windows gives you many choices, most of them have a way to achieve this operation. > (4) On RH9, can a program call some API to simulate key-down/up events? Again depending on what tools you are using this is possible. Richard, these questions are all programming related and are you'll need to do some reading and experimenting. One way to get started is to pick a library and start programming with it. One of the most prevalent graphical programming libraries around is Qt but you might also consider looking at wxWindows which also has a very active community and mailing list. Either of those libraries will help you write graphical programs that compile for Microsoft Windows and Linux with little or no alteration. Good Luck, Sean Qt library: http://www.trolltech.com wxWindows: http://www.wxwindows.org -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
