[pygtk] Embedding a Win32 window or ActiveX control in a pygtk application

[Guillaume Proux]

I don't remember all details but I did embed a Flash file into a GTK 
window some time ago:

it went like this:

from ctypes import oledll
import gtk

x = ShockwaveFlash()
x.LoadMovie("cow.swf")
axcontainer=gtk.DrawingArea()
axcontainer.set_size_request(100,100)
axcontainer.show()
oledll.atl.AtlAxAttachControl(x._comobj,axcontainer.window.handle,byref(ret))
gtk.main()

It worked well for Flash but it failed for some other AX controls in 
ways I never understood. I hope you will make it work with IE.

In the worst case you might want to give a look at Venster:
