Hi Fons!

I am intending to display some images based on the data I am receiving
from the server. Currently, I do not have to worry about the data been
sent from the server to my GUI client. I just intend to display the image
based on that raw data.

I was trying TGXclient class under CINT env. but couldn't quite got at it.
What problem I am having is, I am unable to invoke a parent window using
TGXClient object. Can you tell me as to what parameters I must pass to
CreateWindow() method to display a paraent window? Furhter, I intend to
use ReadGIF() method to display gif image.

Tell me if any other way I should try that will do the job in an efficient
way.

take care and thanks

cheers, ADnan
