18 wxDllWidget can be used to embed a wxWindow implemented in C++ in your
19 wxPython application without the need to write a SWIG interface. Widget's code
20 is stored in shared library or DLL that exports DLL_WidgetFactory symbol
21 and loaded at runtime. All you have to do is to pass the name of DLL and the class
22 to create to wxDllWidget's ctor.
24 Runtime-loadable widget must have HandleCommand method (see the example) that is
25 used to communicate with Python app. You call wxDllWidget.SendCommand(cmd,param) from
26 Python and it in turn calls HandleCommand of the loaded widget.
28 You must use DECLARE_DLL_WIDGET, BEGIN_WIDGET_LIBRARY, END_WIDGET_LIBRARY and
29 REGISTER_WIDGET macros in your C++ module in order to provide all the meat
