hello group, came across a nice feature in gtk that embeds applications in a gtk widget using the xembed protocol. i looked around to see if (py)qt has similars. windows users are not so fortunate however.
i learned about a SetParent win32 api call ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633541(VS.85).aspx). and that qt can return a native window id. so i came up with the following code (which does not work, mind you :) ) anyone who knows better has an idea how it can be accomplished? thanks a lot in advance ================= import sys import ctypes import subprocess from PyQt4 import QtGui if __name__ == '__main__': app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv) process = subprocess.Popen(['c:/vim/vim72/gvim.exe']) # this call is to get the process window handle SYNCHRONIZE = 0x00100000 handle = ctypes.windll.kernel32.OpenProcess( SYNCHRONIZE, False, process.pid ) w = QtGui.QWidget() wid = w.winId() # this one turns out to be an void* c type, might be the culprit w.show() ctypes.windll.user32.SetParent(handle, int(wid)) sys.exit(app.exec_()) -- victor
