In process VNC

[Sandip Chitale]

Folks,

Is it possible to have in-process vnc server and client communicating with
each other using shared memory instead of socket?

I know this is a strange request (or may be not)...however the scenario is
somewhat like this. I have an application with say two windows - say A and B
- both inside the same OS process. I want the VNC server to capture window A
(or some sub area thereof) and the VNC client display the same in window B
(or some sub area thereof). This should handle showing the cursor as well as
blinking caret. The keyboard and mouse interaction with window A should work
through window B. Lastly this should should work even if the window A is
offscreen.

I am interested in in-process aspect of this because I want programatically
access other aspects of window A?

Is such a thing possible with existing VNC architecture? Can the VNC client
be a Java VNC client which uses a lightweight Swing component?

thanks in advance,
Sandip
