Individuare l'ID ed il nome di una finestra nonché il PID del programma mediante le funzioni del API di X11

Da Gambas-it.org - Wikipedia.

La libreria X11 ci consente anche di individuare il numero identificativo (Id) ed il nome di una qualsiasi finestra, nonché il PID del programma al quale quella finestra appartiene.

Sarà necessario richiamare la libreria del sistema X (nella sua attuale versione): "libX11.so.6.3.0"


Mostriamo di seguito un possibile breve codice al riguardo:

Private Const MAX_PROPERTY_VALUE_LEN As Integer = 4096

Library "libX11:6.3.0"

Private Const XA_CARDINAL As Integer = 6
Private Const XA_WINDOW As Integer = 33

' Display *XOpenDisplay(char *display_name)
' Opens a connection to the X server that controls a display.
Private Extern XOpenDisplay(display$ As String) As Pointer

' XCloseDisplay (Display *display)
' Closes a display or disconnect from the X server.
Private Extern XCloseDisplay(displayP As Pointer)

' Window XDefaultRootWindow(Display *display)
' Return the root window for the default screen.
Private Extern XDefaultRootWindow(displayP As Pointer) As Integer

' Atom XInternAtom(Display *display, char *atom_name, Bool only_if_exists)
' Returns the atom identifier associated with the specified atom_name string.
Private Extern XInternAtom(displayP As Pointer, atom_name As String, only_if_exists As Boolean) As Integer

' int XGetWindowProperty(Display *display, Window w, Atom property, long long_offset, long long_length, Bool delete, Atom req_type, Atom *actual_type_return, int *actual_format_return, unsigned long *nitems_return, unsigned long *bytes_after_return, unsigned char **prop_return)
' Returns the actual type of the property; the actual format of the property.
Private Extern XGetWindowProperty(displayP As Pointer, w As Long, py As Integer, lo As Long, ll As Long, d As Boolean, rt As Integer, at As Pointer, af As Pointer, ni As Pointer, ba As Pointer, pr As Pointer) As Integer

' Status XGetWMName(Display *display, Window w, XTextProperty *text_prop_return)
' Calls XGetTextProperty() to obtain the WM_NAME property.
Private Extern XGetWMName(displayP As Pointer, w As Long, text_prop_return As Pointer) As Integer

    Read #stId, i

      id = Hex(i)
   
      x_num_Atom = XInternAtom(disp, "_NET_WM_PID", False)
