Hi,
I was wanting to make a module that would implement the M_String
message to receive strings from a button click. The only problem is
I can not find any information on the packet format in any of the
documents. I am guessing that I will have to take apart the module.c
code to figure it out. From what I have seen, it will send the
command to all modules of that name. Since I plan to have multiple
copies of the module loaded and I plan on using a mouse click on a
title button for the modules window to issue the command, how do I
know that the message is for the particular module that the title
button was clicked? (I hope I worded that correctly).
This is my first attempt at writing a module. A user at my company
wants to have an rxvt window with button on the title that send
special commands to the shell that is in the window. Therefore, I am
attempting to modify the rxvt code to make it an fvwm module that
will accept the M_String sent to it from a SendToModule command tied
to a button on the title. Is this feasible? I have not looked at
the rxvt code yet; I thought I would see if it was doable from fvwm
side of things first.
Thanks for the help!
