Create a child window

Use screen_create_window_type() to create a child window. A window of type SCREEN_CHILD_WINDOW must be associated with a parent so that it can be visible on a display.
-
Create a variable for each of the context and window instances
screen_context_t screen_context = 0; screen_window_t screen_child_window = 0;
-
Create a context. The context describes the relationship between the
application and the underlying windowing system.
screen_create_context(&screen_context, SCREEN_APPLICATION_CONTEXT);
-
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; screen_create_window_type(&screen_child_window, screen_context, wintype );
-
Join the parent's window group. The window_group_name must be determined by
the parent window. Usually, this is the SCREEN_PROPERTY_ID property of the
parent window.
screen_join_window_group(screen_child_window, window_group_name);
