Interfaces

GtkPlug implements AtkImplementorIface.

Detailed Description

Together with GtkSocket, GtkPlug provides the ability to embed widgets from one process into another process in a fashion that is transparent to the user. One process creates a GtkSocket widget and, passes the ID of that widgets window to the other process, which then creates a GtkPlug with that window ID. Any widgets contained in the GtkPlug then will appear inside the first applications window. PLEASE NOTE: The GtkPlug and GtkSocket widgets are currently not available on all platforms supported by GTK+.

Convenient Construction

gtkPlug is the equivalent of gtkPlugNew.
