Hi, You can place the call in any appropriate event handler. Also, you will have to create a socket in your GTK program. Now in your browser app, you need modification so that you can create a plug and attach it to the socket created in GTK App. Now the browser (May be its rendering area widget) should be attached to this plug, and should not be as main window. Meaning you need source for browser or may be a method so that the browser output is redirected to GtkDrawingArea (which can be connected to plug).

Do I have to use two different source files to implement this mechanism (run the app as a GtkPlug, give it the ID of the GtkSocket, ecc.)? If not, which are the steps to implement this on a single source file? Thank in advance for answers.
