[PyQt] PyQt app inside Softimage XSI

[zhang jian]

Hi,

I managed to create run PyQt inside 3ds Max days before, I know no XSI, but
the principle is same. I use

qtwinmigrate<http://doc.trolltech.com/solutions/qtwinmigrate/winmigrate-walkthrough.html>

<http://doc.trolltech.com/solutions/qtwinmigrate/winmigrate-walkthrough.html>it
can hook a special qt widget inside any hwnd (MFC only) you give. It does
appear to be a child window inside 3ds max. You need (boost) python C API to
embed Python inside the C/C++ app, plugin in this case.

Second question is tricky, I solve this problem in Max by using COM/DCOM.
Register 3ds Max as a COM server, so pywin32 can connect 3ds Max to do
stuff, and vice versa. Does XSI have COM?
