Re: [platform-swt-dev] Does SWT (in Eclipse 3.2 or w.4) support embeddin

[Steve Northover <Steve_Northover@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure this "works".
 Your code may end up making one window appear in another but that's
about it.  The right way to embed on Windows is to use OLE.

On GTK, the right way to embed one X
window in another is to use XEMBED, which is supported by GTK and therefore
SWT.  Both sides implement this protocol which covers things like
focus, tabbing etc.

If you just have the handle to a widget
and expect to slap it into another widget hierarchy (like the sample Windows
code), you could reach through to X windows on both sides and call XReparentWindow().
 I have no idea whether it would work, but it would be equivalent
to what you are doing on Windows.

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] Does SWT (in Eclipse 3.2 or w.4) support        embedding of GTK widgets inside the SWT widgets?

Does SWT (in Eclipse 3.2 or w.4) support embedding
of GTK widgets
inside the SWT widgets? I can embed Windows based widgets inside the
SWT in the following manner and it seems to just work fine. But I
would like to embed a Linux GTK based native window inside the SWT.
How do I do it?

        nativeComposite = new Composite(parent, SWT.EMBEDDED
);

        TCHAR  tChrTitle = new TCHAR(0,"Notepad
- Untitled",true);

        handle = os.FindWindow(null, tChrTitle);

        os.SetWindowLong(handle, OS.GWL_STYLE, OS.WS_VISIBLE
|
OS.WS_CLIPCHILDREN | OS.WS_CLIPSIBLINGS);

        os.SetParent(handle,nativeComposite.handle);
