Re: [platform-swt-dev] Embedding a Win32 Window?

Hi Andrew,

No official support for what you are trying to do.

I think the idea is to create an OLE interface for your program and embed 
that  in SWT.

You can also see how we embed different elements in SWT Windows, for 
example: openGL canvas, awt frame, etc. Maybe you can use the same idea 
for your program. To more extreme idea that comes to my mind is to create 
a Composite with SWT.EMBEDDED bit, and use low level OS calls to reparent 
your window to the composite (see OS.SetParent()) - but this approach will 
probably have many problems. 

Good luck
Felipe

Hi,

I have a requirement to embed a native Win32 application window inside a 
Java window.  I am guessing that I need to use a Composite but beyond that 
I'm not sure how to achieve this.  I am guessing it's similar to embedding 
OLE objects(?) but this isn't quite the same.  I know it's possible as I 
saw a post as I was trawling the net but I can't get the guy to respond 
unfortunately.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.  Also, I do need to listen 
for mouse events, especially click and text selection if possible.  I have 
the code for the Win32 app in C/C++ so I can always do some JNI stuff if I 
need to propogate events up the chain.

If anybody knows of anyone who's done this before i'd love to discuss how 
they did it and have a look at an example.

Regards,

Andrew._______________________________________________
