Querying Photon widget contents from a seperate process  
Hi

One of our customers has expressed a desire to perform some automated testing on their QNX / Photon based system.

Ideally they want to be able to query the Photon server for the 'widgets' currently on screen and to then query those 
widgets for their content.  They want to be able to do this out of process using a bespoke test application on the 
released software.

Looking through the QNX documentation it's not immediately clear how we could do this or if it's even possible.  An in 
process solution would be able to use the PtGetResource interface to query known widgets for their contents but as I say
 they want to use a completely separate test application.

Are there any such interfaces provided by the Photon libraries that we could use?

Thanks
Ed
