Hey guys,
I would like to develop the GUI for a VST synth with gtk. I need to
embed a gtk gui inside a win32 HWND parent window. I think
"gdk_win32_window_foreign_new_for_display" could be the right function
to create a GdkWindow that is embedded inside the native window. is this
correct?
auto gdkWindow =
Glib::wrap(gdk_win32_window_foreign_new_for_display(disp->gobj(),(HWND)systemWindow));
window.set_parent_window(gdkWindow);
You might need to use gdk_win32_window_reparent() instead of set_parent_window. To be honest, the whole foreign-window embedding thing is poorly-developed. GTK does use it to embed its own printer properties page contents into Windows printing dialog - and it didn't really work, last time i checked. Also, i think this API is going away in GTK4. My current fallback plan (in case i encounter a scenario where embedding is needed, and i fail to make it work, or when the time of GTK4 comes, and it has no embedding) is to instead just embed a pure W32-API child button (or something along these lines) that causes a normal, toplevel, non-embedded GTK-based dialog to pop up. -- O< ascii ribbon - stop html email! - www.asciiribbon.org
