Create a child window

You can use the screen_create_window_type() function to create a child window.

1. Create a variable for each of the context and window instances.

       screen_context_t	screen_context = 0;
       screen_window_t	 screen_child_window = 0;
       
                       

2. Create a context. The context describes the relationship between the application and the underlying windowing system.

   	if (screen_create_context(&screen_context, SCREEN_APPLICATION_CONTEXT) != 0) {
   		return EXIT_FAILURE;
   	}

3. Create a child window. The screen_create_window_type() function takes the window and context variables and an integer representing the window type. In this case, the window is of type SCREEN_CHILD_WINDOW.

   	int wintype = SCREEN_CHILD_WINDOW;
       if (screen_create_window_type(&screen_child_window, screen_context, wintype ) != 0) {
   		
   		screen_destroy_context(screen_context);
   		return EXIT_FAILURE;
   	}

4. Join a window group. The window_group_name should be the name of the window group created by the parent(or main) window through the screen_create_window_group() function.

       if (screen_join_window_group(screen_child_window, window_group_name) != 0) {
   		return EXIT_FAILURE;
   	}
