Well, I had always planned on, and started using Gtk::Socket for the preferences for extensions. The plan was to allow for out of process and other toolkits in the preference dialogs. But, after Googling and reading a couple e-mails on the Evolution list, I think that it might not be supported on Win32. I'll ask the GTK+ list and get back.
IIRC it's not needed anyway, HWNDs are window-station global and as such valid in any process (for all intents and purposes). So it should not be very hard to port the Gtk::Socket API to Win32, as all it has to do is create the plug window with the right window styles and then add it as a child window in the other process. I'd definitely not let this stop you from using it.
Well, I'll assume that you said some windows stuff that made sense there :) But, to be entirely honest, if GTK+ doesn't support it, I don't care how possible it is. I'm not going to code around GTK+, and I definitely don't know enough windows programming to do it myself.
I haven't gotten a reply from the GTK+ mailing list, and their IRC chat seemed empty last night. Anyone know a good way to find GTK+ guys? GNOME chat rooms best?
