Create a window and then pass window handle to CreateBrowser().

So createBrowser() can use any window handle, or must it be a specific one? I am looking into CEGUI and FLTK now, Im just wondering if one of the two would work.

It has to be a native window handle. On Windows this is HWND. On Linux it is GtkWidget*.

But how is it then, that I was told that wxWidgets works with CEF, when that is just another framework that acts as an overlay over native widgets? O.o On mac, it does not spill out the raw NS-thing it is using, afaik... o.o

See wxWindow::GetHandle():

Code: Select all

Returns the platform-specific handle of the physical window.

Cast it to an appropriate handle, such as HWND for Windows, Widget for Motif or GtkWidget for GTK.

FLTK can spill out the native handle too, now I have everything I need. Bad thing is, the devs had to tell me themselves, because the function went undocumented thru doxygen =D.

But for whoever is curios:

Definition:

Code: Select all

Window fltk_xid(Fl_Window *)

Pseudo-use:

Code: Select all

Fl_Window *win = new Fl_Window(100,100, "o.o");
NSWindow *NSwin = (NSWindow*)fl_xid(win);


I am not good with pointers and variables off the caff - but just think about casting the returned instance by fl_xid to the native handle.

Thank you for the help! ^_^
