A VST plugin is a virtual instrument or effect. It is used to produce music. (I make it short). The common architecture is that you have an Host, like Ableton, Bitwig, Ardour, Qtractor, Cubase, Renoise, ... each of them use differents UI so you cannot assume that the host has initialized gtk for you. Also the host loads the plugins which have to display a custom UI. Imagine it like: plugin->show_ui(plugin); So the plugin has to initialize its UI toolkit and render it. But as all the plugins are loaded in the same process, for performances reason, it is unsafe to run gtk_main_loop() in each of them. -- Alexandre Bique _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
