Re: [Vala] making a running a program as a child inside my program's widget.

[Arkadi Viner <arkashkin gmail com>]

Hi again,
I made glade to create a plug, with a socket-id which is passed through a
command argument to glade.
> From looking on this example:

#!/usr/bin/python

import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk,sys

Wid = 0L
if len(sys.argv) == 2:
    Wid = long(sys.argv[1])

plug = gtk.Plug(Wid)
print "Plug ID=", plug.get_id()

def embed_event(widget):
    print "I (",widget,") have just been embedded!"

plug.connect("embedded", embed_event)

entry = gtk.Entry()
entry.set_text("hello")
def entry_point(widget):
    print "You've changed my text to '%s'" % widget.get_text()

entry.connect("changed", entry_point)
plug.connect("destroy", gtk.mainquit)

plug.add(entry)
plug.show_all()

gtk.mainloop()


I understand plug is acting like the main a window ?? because the gtk.entry
is inside it and there is no window created...
I know where in the code of Glade the main window is created but if i have
understood correctly, I should convert it's main window to a plug??

*This is how Glade's main function look like:*

GtkWidget *plug;
 GladeWindow *window;
......
......
gtk_init (NULL, NULL);
......
......
int temp = atoi(argv[3]);
plug = gtk_plug_new (temp);
window = GLADE_WINDOW (glade_window_new ());

int winID = gtk_plug_get_id(plug);
printf("win_id of the plug is - %d  \n",winID);   //the plug is created and
I'm able to connect it to a socket but nothing is changed...
......
......
gtk_widget_show (GTK_WIDGET (window));
gtk_main ();
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have tried to do some thing like this:
gtk_container_add ( GTK_CONTAINER ( plug ), window );
but that doesn't help...
So what I'm doing wrong? I know that the problem is on the plug side(my
modification of Glade) because on the socket side of the code i use the code
that came with the example and it works well...

help...
