I want to run my chrome page inside a Tcl Tk frame. And I have to run my scripts from windows platform... As of now I am able to start the chrome page using the start command. How do I enclose my chrome page inside Tk window?

eval exec [auto_execok start] http://www.gmail.com

Thanks

  • That really ought to be `exec {*}[auto_execok start] "" http://www.gmail.com` but that won't affect your question substantively. – Donal Fellows Mar 24 '14 at 14:17

I don't think you can do this. You can embed applications into Tk frames using the -container option which informs Tk that this frame will be used to host third-party windows. You then have to pass the window id (winfo id $frame) to the application so that it knows to use this Tk frame as its parent. There is an example embedding mplayer on the Tcl wiki and uses mplayer's -wid option. I can see no option in chrome (nor in chromium) that would accept a window to embed into. There is a chromium embedded project which may be worth looking into.
