XEMBED Implementation

[Cloudor Pu]

Hi,

I find discussion about XEMBED implementation in this mailing list and 
that was 3 years ago. Is there now any usable implementation or examples 
for wine XEMBED plug?

What I am doing is to embed IE into a GtkSocket. I wrote a standalone 
program compiled using winelib that can CreateWindow and embed IE. Can I 
CreateWindow using the XEMBED Id if there is already XEMBED 
implementation or can I just CreateWindow as a child of a GtkPlug which 
is a gtk-embeddee?

Any advices or suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Regards,
cloudor

Hi,

The XEMBED stuff in Wine is different than what you need. This code is inside wine's x11 driver and has the purpose of integrating the Wine system tray with KDE/Gnome. It is for internal wine usage and can't be used for your purpose.

You could search for the kde reaktivate project. It was designed for embedding windows activex controls through Wine in Konqueror. I'm not sure how they are embedding wine stuff, it might help.

Hi,

Thank you.

I just found an example that can embed any X window into gtk by calling 
gtk_socket_add_id(). And I can embed that IE window if I use xwininfo to 
get it's X11 window id.

Now, how can I get X11 window id by HWND in my program? I saw a patch 
GetX11WindowId at 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg05282.html
But this cannot be found in the latest wine. Can I get xwindow id by 
HWND without patching wine?

Only top level (managed) windows have an X window ID.  You can see how 
Wine manages HWND -> X Window mappings in dlls/winex11.drv/window.c in 
the function X11DRV_get_whole_window().  This is likely subject to change...
