Interfaces

GtkPlug implements AtkImplementorIface and GtkBuildable.

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 widget's 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 application's 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.
