Hi Javier
1) I cannot open more than one Vega Window, as child's of different MDI
windows. (I think this isn't possible at all)
no you cannot do this this would require several vega running on the same
system, not good for performance
and you would need more than one license.
You could achieve a similar effect using extra vgChannels and vgWindows and
controlling them, if a channel is off
that is not attached to a vgObservers then the is no overhead.
2)I cannot close the Vega Window and reopen it (vega crashes in
vgConfigSys() the second time)
This is really from Unix and Performer legacy in that Vega was not
originally designed to be imbedded
with in an application that stays running while closing Vega.
3) I cannot clean up Vega when I no longer need it, because vgExit() kills
my app.
this is again due to Vega heritage of Performer, vgExit calls pfExit which
calls exit....
The good news is that 2 and 3 have been addressed in the new release of Vega
NT 3.5 which
is due for release very shortly and if you have maintenance you will
automatically receive
it when released.
Gordon.

Subject: Integration of VegaNT on MDI App
Hello:
We're developing a Single Document/Multiple View application.
The user can choose to display different views, such as alphanumeric
view, 2D plan view and 3D view, and tile them, close, reopen...
I'm trying to integrate Vega into the MDIchild windows. I'm using
vgInitWinSys( hInstance, m_hParentWnd);
where m_hParentWnd is the hwnd of the client area of my MDI child window.
I've got several problems:
- I cannot open more than one Vega Window, as childs of different MDI
windows. (I think this isn't possible at all)
- I cannot close the Vega Window and reopen it (vega crashes in
vgConfigSys() the second time)
- I cannot clean up Vega when I no longer need it, because vgExit() kills
my app.
Do you know if is it possible at all, using VegaNT, to acomplish the kind of
integrationg that I want?
How?
Thank You.
