Hey monodev fellows,
first of all I appreciate all your hard work and want to contribute this to
the mono project.
Right now it is not possible to use GTK# with an application which embeds
mono. GTK# works just fine if you use mono as a standalone application eg
mono.exe.
The reason why GTK# does not works when you embed mono is as fallowing.
Each GTK# Application has to call Application.Init().
This functions is like this.
public static void Init ()
{
SetPrgname ();
IntPtr argv = new IntPtr(0);
int argc = 0;
gtk_init (ref argc, ref argv);
SynchronizationContext.SetSynchronizationContext (new
GLib.GLibSynchronizationContext ()); }
Init will fail on SetPrgname (); when mono is embedded in an application.
static void SetPrgname ()
{
GLib.Global.ProgramName = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension
(Environment.GetCommandLineArgs () [0]);
}
When embedding Mono, Environment.GetCommandLineArgs () will fail because it
is not set to anything. When you run the same on mono as a standalone
application it will work because mono will pass the command line argument
via Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().
I fixed it by registering the internal call for
Environment.GetCommandLineArgs to my own fucntion and return just a dummy
string.
My suggestion would be to do the same in mono when you embed it or to
change SetPrgname to not relay on Environment.GetCommandLineArgs ().
Best Regards
Sahin
