The Application Group Extension to the X protocol is intended to provide a framework to allow
|
||
more than one program to manage X applications on the desktop. The initial use of this extension
|
||
will be to insert or embed the windows of X programs into the windows of another program, such
|
||
as a web browser. This extension is not intended to address larger embedding issues that, for
|
||
example, OpenDoc does, such as shared menu bars, etc.

The Application Group Extension to the X protocol is intended to provide

|

Using X programs on the World Wide Web allows for greater control of the
|
||
presentation and takes advantage of the existing body of X programs rather
|
||
than re-implement them in another language. In addition it allows the
|
||
embedding of non-X programs into web browsers by using third party products
|
||
like Wabi, MAE, and WinCenter.

This extension introduces the concept of an Application Group. An Application Group is a set of one or more applications that are primarily managed by a special application known as the Application Group Leader, which, for example, might be a web browser. The primary purpose of Application Groups is to provide a means of sharing the Substructure-Redirect attribute of the root window between the window manager and one or more Application Group Leaders.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
To join an Application Group an application must present the proper authorization during the connection setup. Authorizations are generated by the X server at the request of an Application Group Leader, and are then stored for the application to use to establish its connection to the X server. To generate an authorization the Application Group Leader sends a request to the server naming the Application Group to which the authorization will be bound, and any applications that connect using that authorization will automatically become part of the associated Application Group. The protocol to generate an authorization is defined in the Security Extension specification.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
As a member of an Application Group, when an application creates and maps a window as a child of the root window, the MapRequest and ConfigureRequest events are delivered to the Application Group Leader instead of the window manager. The Application Group Leader may then reparent the window into its own window hierarchy; or reissue the map request, in which case the window comes under the control of the window manager.

If supplied, the client_major_version and client_minor_version indicate what version of the protocol the application wants the server to implement. The server version numbers returned indicate the version of the protocol the X server actually supports. This may not match the versions requested by the application. An implementation may (but need not) support more than one version simultaneously. The server_major_version and server_minor_version numbers are a mechanism to support any future revisions of the Application Group extension protocol which may be necessary. In general, the major version would increment for incompatible changes, and the minor version would increment for small, upward-compatible changes. X servers that support the protocol defined in this document will return a server_major_version of 1 and a server_minor_version of 0.

If the single_screen attribute is True then the number of video screens returned to a program in the Application Group in the connection setup message is one, irrespective of how many video screens the server actually has. If a server supports both video and print screens, then all print screens will always be returned. If single_screen is specified as True then the connection setup message will contain only the information about the video screen which has default_root as its root window, plus any print screens.

<note><para>

The intent is to allow an embedding manager to ensure that it will be able to reparent any top-level windows that Application Group members create. By hiding the fact that there are other screens it can be reasonably assured that applications will only create top-level windows on the same screen that it itself appears on. An embedding manager should take care not to supply an invalid display, e.g. :0.1, to a program that will be in an Application Group where the single_screen attribute is True.

|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
If single_screen is set to True default_root specifies which screen will be returned as screen zero in the connection setup message for applications in the Application Group. If set to None, then the real screen zero is used, otherwise the screen which has default_root as its root window will be used.

<para>

If single_screen is set to True the root_visual and default_colormap attributes may be used to over-ride the default values that are returned in the connection setup information returned to new programs in the Application Group. If None is specified for root_visual or default_colormap then the normal default values for the screen (possibly spedified by default_root) are used, otherwise the specified values are used. If root_visual and/or default_colormap are specified they must be valid, i.e. root_visual must be a visual type available on the screen, and the colormap, if specified, must be a valid colormap for the visual that is used.
|
||
</para>
|
||
|
||
<para>
|
||
IF single_screen is set to True and default_colormap is not specified as None, the black_pixel and white_pixel attributes must be specified, and they will over-ride the default values that are returned in the connection setup returned to new programs in the Application Group. If default_colormap is specified as None and black_pixel and/or white_pixel are specified, they will be ignored.

The app_group_leader attribute is used to identify the Application Group Leader program for the app_group. By specifying True the server will identify the program making the request as the Application Group Leader for the application group. The Application Group Leader receives MapRequest and ConfigureRequest events from the server when an attempt is made to map or configure top-level windows of a program in an Application Group, instead of being sent to a window manager that has selected SubstructureRedirect events on the root window. The parent window field in these events will contain the Application Group ID.

This request associates window with system_window. The window_type indicates the native window system of the application making the request. For non-X window_types both the embedding manager and the server must be executing on the same host. When system_window is Microsoft Windows or OS/2 Presentation Manager, the system_window is an HWND; when the native window system is Macintosh, the system_window is a WindowPtr and a Rect. The window may be used for any X request that takes a Window.

XagQueryVersion sets major_version_return and minor_version_return to the major and minor Application Group protocol version supported by the server. If the Xag library is compatible with the version returned by the server it returns non-zero. If dpy does not support the Application Group extension, or if the server and library protocol versions are incompatible, or if there was an error during communication with the server, it returns zero. No other Xag functions may be called before this function. If a program violates this rule, the effects of all subsequent Xag calls that it makes are undefined.

XagCreateEmbeddedApplicationGroup creates an Application Group for an embedding manager with the attributes specified. It also sets the default_root attribute to DefaultRoot(dpy, DefaultsScreen(dpy)) and the single_screen and app_group_leader attributes to True. It returns the Application Group ID in app_group_return.

You can create an Application Group without intending to do embedding. One reason for doing this is to give a group of clients their own font-path.

A special font-path can be created by creating an Application Group, getting an Authorization using XSecurityGenerateAuthorization, and then running ‘xset fp+ <new font path>’ as a member of the Application Group. Font-path elements added in this way will be "private" to the Application Group.

The attributes that may be specified are: XagNappGroupLeader, XagNsingleScreen, XagNdefaultRoot, XagNrootVisual, XagNdefaultColormap, XagNblackPixel, and XagNwhitePixel; which correspond to app_group_leader, single_screen, default_root, root_visual, default_colormap, black_pixel, and white_pixel respectively. See AppGroupCreate in Section 3 for a description of each attribute.

<note><para>

Because XReparentWindow is not constrained in the same way that Win32’s SetParent and the Macintosh are, there is no reason to call XagCreateAssociation in an X-based embedding manager. As such if XagCreateAssociation is called in a native X program, the window_return will be the same as the system_window, and the implementation may even elect to not generate any protocol.
