[maemo-developers] GtkWidget* handler from QWidget

[From: timur at sch.bme.hu]

Hello Naikel,

There are two things that come to my mind:
- I implemented a Qt-based api for that stuff a long time ago
- It's not possible to attach them to your window, but it's possible to add an entry to a config file, and then it will attach the notification to your window
- Led/vibration notifications are possible by setting a notification hint, regardless of whether or not it's attached to your window.

If you wish, I can point you to the right direction. :)

Those are the banners and notes, as you can see in screenshots in http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qt-maemo-4.6/maemo5-informationbox.html
 
What I want is the notification bubble.  Sadly anyway I just found libhildon-plugins-notify-sv.so didn’t implement correctly the org.freedesktop.Notifications notifications.  Maemo will only attach the notifications depending on the hint category to a predefined program, that is Modest for email, Conversations for IM/chat, etc.  It’s not customizable.  If you don’t set a category hint in your notification the daemon simply ignores everything and shows a notification that is totally useless with no sound, no LED alert, no vibration, no attachment to another widget and most importantly: it never updates itself.
 
That means if you write your own email client, you can’t create notifications that are attached to it; if you set the category “email-message” it will always be attached to modest.  When I say “attach” is that the notification belongs to the same widget and it doesn’t appear as a new window, it appears as if it were the same window than the application that generated it.

The maemo5 module has the notification stuff. Check if it does what you need

Question to my fellow developers:
 
I want to attach a Maemo native notification (those orange bubbles) to a QWidget.  Using GLIB, it’s easy;  you call notify_notification_attach_to_widget or add a hint with “attach-widget”.
 
The thing is in order
to do that you need the GtkWidget* handler of the window, and all I got is a QWidget.  Is there a way do it?
 
Thanks in advance,
