Subject: Embedding Emacs in other apps
Date: Tue, 27 Apr 2010 18:00:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201004271800.26807.tassilo@member.fsf.org> (raw)
Hi all,
I've wondered if it is possible to embed emacs in other applications, so
for example that I can edit textfields in my browser using emacs. I
quickly found this NEWS entry for emacs 23.
,----
| *** Emacs now supports the XEmbed specification.
| You can embed Emacs in another application on X11. The new command line
| option --parent-id is used to pass the parent window id to Emacs. See
| http://standards.freedesktop.org/xembed-spec/xembed-spec-latest.html
| for details about XEmbed.
`----
But this --parent-id option is only available to emacs, not emacsclient.
Is that intended or technically not feasible otherwise? My emacs needs
about 20 seconds to start, but I always have a server instance in the
background. Clearly, I wouldn't want to wait 20 secs to start editing
some textfield, but simply embed a new frame...
The --parent-id option isn't documented in the texinfo docs, btw...
And the other thing: Is there some example code showing how I can embed
emacs in my own application?
Bye,
Tassilo
