I have a basic DDE + Gtk+ code running, although it is in a machine
without Network access, and I'll only have acess to it in about a
week... living in many different places is weird, you know (lol)
But, anyways, I don't think you would like the solution so far, as it
involves a big chunk of boilerplate code (It needs an invisible Win32
Window, and the Gtk+ main() running inside a glib_thread). I'll post
it here whenever I have the chance to fetch the code and put it
online.
If I recall correctly the boilerplate code needed to get GTk+ running
inside a Win32 Application is something between 50 ~ 100 lines of
code. The real problem is that I don't know how Geany would behave
with this extra thread in the application ... and perhaps this would
somehow "violate" Geany's "Keep it Simple" filosophy
For now I think the socket code, although not very "orthodox", would do the job.
