[Glade-users] 'Stacking' glade interfaces inside one another?

[myaconis at nycap.rr.com (Matthew Yaconis)]

Daniel,

I have done something similar to what you request by using one of the 
libglade API calls for generating an interface based on a root widget.  (I 
forget the call off the top of my head...I can get to the code tomorrow to 
give you specifics...) Effectively you:

1.  generate your root window and the container widgets you want to stick 
the other windows in.
2.  grab the top level container(s) from the window(s) you want to add to 
your root window
3.  add the top level container(s) to the container widgets obtained in (1)

I used a tab folder for this, i.e. had several different windows that got 
stuffed into different tabs.

Hopefully that helps...sorry I don't have the exact function call memorized.

Matt
