Mosaic and GUI CCI clients 

Forum: CCI for Perl

From: Mike Callaghan

I am playing around with a Motif program which allows URLs document titles etc. to be dragged around a drawing area (kind of a pre-cursor to some graphical overview/concept map). I've connected successfully to Mosaic using the C CCI API, and sent URLs OK.

However, a problem arises when I "turn on" MCCISendAnchor, to enable my GUI client to add newly selected URLs to its display (or whatever). Firstly, Mosaic insists on returning URLs which my client has sent it. I suppose this is understandable, and it at least enables me to know that my CallBack function (registered in MCCISendAnchor) does work. However, as soon as I select an anchor in Mosaic things go wrong: I don't get the usual message at my client terminal window from MCCIHandleAddOutput, and my GUI "hangs" the next time I select a URL with it.

From then on, the Mosaic to client sending of anchors works fine, but my GUI only recovers (and processes outstanding events) when I tell Mosaic to stop listening.

Any ideas?
