This is for adding a EGL-based renderer which is done via the ANGLE
project, which translate EGL calls to Direct3D 9/11. This is done as a
possible solution to issue #105, especially for cases where the needed
full GL extensions to map OpenGL to Direct3D is unavailable or
unreliable, or when the OpenGL implementation from the graphics drivers
are problematic.
To enable this, do the following:
-Build ANGLE and ensure the ANGLE libEGL.dll and libGLESv2.dll are
available. A sufficiently-recent ANGLE is needed for things to
work correctly--note that the copy of ANGLE that is included in
qtbase-5.10.1 is sufficient. ANGLE is licensed under a BSD 3-clause
license.
-Build libepoxy on Windows with EGL support enabled.
-Currently, prior to running GTK+ programs, the GDK_DEBUG envvar needs
to be set with gl-gles as at least one of the flags.
Known issues:
-Only OpenGL ES 3 is supported, ANGLE's ES 2 does not support the needed
extensions, notably GL_OES_vertex_array_object, but its ES 3 support is
sufficient.
-There is no autodetection or fallback mechanism to enable using
EGL/Angle automatically yet. There are no plans to do this in this
commit.
Make GdkEvents hold a single GdkDevice. This device is closer to
the logical device conceptually, although it must be sufficient for
device checks (i.e. GdkInputSource), which makes it similar to the
physical devices.
Make the logical devices have a more accurate GdkInputSource where
needed, and conflate the event devices altogether.
Use better matching format modifiers/specifiers, initialise some things
which in theory wont be written to because of getters using g_return_if_fail(),
a cast, and gsize as input for malloc because gsize!=glong on 64bit Windows.
GdkEvent has been a "I-can't-believe-this-is-not-OOP" type for ages,
using a union of sub-types. This has always been problematic when it
comes to implementing accessor functions: either you get generic API
that takes a GdkEvent and uses a massive switch() to determine which
event types have the data you're looking for; or you create namespaced
accessors, but break language bindings horribly, as boxed types cannot
have derived types.
The recent conversion of GskRenderNode (which had similar issues) to
GTypeInstance, and the fact that GdkEvent is now a completely opaque
type, provide us with the chance of moving GdkEvent to GTypeInstance,
and have sub-types for GdkEvent.
The change from boxed type to GTypeInstance is pretty small, all things
considered, but ends up cascading to a larger commit, as we still have
backends and code in GTK trying to access GdkEvent structures directly.
Additionally, the naming of the public getter functions requires
renaming all the data structures to conform to the namespace/type-name
pattern.
Add all of the keyboard translation results in the key event,
so we can translate the keyboard state at the time the event
is created, and avoid doing state translation at match time.
We actually need to carry two sets of translation results,
since we ignore CapsLock when matching accelerators, in
gdk_event_matches().
At the same time, drop the scancode field - it is only ever
set on win32, and is basically unused in GTK.
Update all callers.
The win32 backend is using GDK_MOD2_MASK for AltGr,
so define GDK_MOD2_MASK locally to keep this working,
but remove any mention of GDK_MOD3_MASK,...,GDK_MOD5_MASK.
These fixes were done blindly, to make the ci pass,
and will need review by somebody with access to an
actual win32 system to make sure the surface subtypes
are implemented properly.
Restructure the getters for event fields to
be more targeted at particular event types.
Update all callers, and replace all direct
event struct access with getters.
As a side-effect, this drops some unused getters.
The "iconified" state is mostly an X11-ism; every other platform calls
this state "minimized" because it may not involve turning a window into
an icon at all.
Windows/surface's aren't supposed to be explicitly moved by any external
part, so don't provide API for doing so. Usage throughout Gdk is
replaced by the corresponding backend variants.
1) In the SetWindowPos() function (and the WINDOWPOS struct) the
"hWndInsertAfter" argument/field means the window that will be
directly above after the change, not the window that will be
directly below. MSDN says "precedes" for SetWindowPos(), but
WINDOWPOS documentation is more precise: this is the window
behind which the affected window will be placed. Apparently,
Z-axis goes back-to-front.
Therefore, logging should be reworded correctly.
2) When we switch away from the application and then switch back
to a transient window, we need to bring up its transient-owner
(and its transient-owner's owner and so forth) as well,
otherwise our transient (modal) window might be transient for
something that might not be visible.
3) When we bring up a window, we should bring all of its children
(popup windows) on top of it.
Because Windows doesn't provide a function to bring one window
on top of the other, we have to work around this by calling
SetWindowPos() twice, swapping the windows between the calls.
Popups can't be active or inactive, so emitting GDK events
in response to WM_ACTIVATE makes no sense for these kinds
of GDK surfaces.
The jury is still out on whether we should block (return 0)
or ignore (don't return anything) this message.
Blocking WM_NCACTIVATE (which we currently ignore) is definitely
not an option - it completely breaks input somehow.
ImmIsIME() doesn't work (always returns TRUE) since Vista.
Use ITfActiveLanguageProfileNotifySink to detect TSF changes,
which are equal to IME changes for us.
Also make sure that IMMultiContext re-loads the IM when keyboard layout
changes, otherwise there's a subtle bug that could happen:
* Run GTK application with non-IME layout (US, for example)
* Focus on an editable widget (GtkEntry, for example)
* IM Context is initialized to use the simple IM
* Switch to an IME layout (such as Korean)
* Start typing
* Since IME module is not loaded yet, keypresses are handled
by a default MS IME handler
* Once IME commits a character, GDK will get a WM_KEYDOWN,
which will trigger a GdkKeyEvent, which will be handled by
an event filter in IM Context, which will finally re-evaluate
its status and load IME, and only after that GTK will get
to handle IME by itself - but by that point input would
already be broken.
To avoid this we can emit a dummy event (with Void keyval),
which will cause IM Context to load the appropriate module
immediately.
GTK widgets expect the scroll deltas to be 1 or -1 and calculate a scroll value from that.
Multiplying the delta by the Windows scroll line setting (which defaults to 3) results
in a much larger delta and vastly different behaviour for running a GTK app on Windows
vs on Linux. For example text view and tree view scroll by 9 lines per scroll wheel tick
per default this way while on Linux it is around 3.
Remove the multiplication for now.
See !426 for the gtk3 MR
This leverages the normal input context switching mechanism in GTK
by making it think that the gtk-im-module setting changed.
The backend returns gtk-im-module value as "ime" if W32
IME API says that an IME is in use. Otherwise it returns
and empty string - this still triggers an input context
switching code, which, not being able to create the desired context
(which is and empty string), falls back to looking at current
keyboard layout (currently that code is still a FIXME).
Paired with the code that signals gtk-im-module change on keyboard layout
switches, this is sufficient to make GTK capable of switching to
the appropriate IM context at runtime. At least, the kinds of context
that specify languages for which they are used automatically by default
(once locale matching is implemented), and the IME context.
Loading other kinds of IM context might still work via specifying
the gtk-im-module setting in gtk ini file, but doing so will likely
make GTK incapable of using the IME context that is used
for Korean, Chinese and Japanese (and some other languages).
Until someone figures out a way to actually change gtk-im-module
setting on Windows at runtime with meaningful values, the behaviour
introduced by this commit seems like a sufficient workaround.
Commit 359df028be changed the
code to send GDK_SCROLL_SMOOTH with deltas instead of
GDK_SCROLL_(UP|DOWN|LEFT|RIGHT).
Windows defines deltas inversed for vertical direction
(positive values mean the wheel was turned forward)
but not for horizontal direction
(positive values mean the wheel was turned towards the right).
This commit fixes behavior as both axes were inverted previously.
Commit d64467b334 changed the
code to send GDK_SCROLL_SMOOTH with deltas instead of
GDK_SCROLL_(UP|DOWN|LEFT|RIGHT). Change it again, to send
both the GDK_SCROLL_SMOOTH and the GDK_SCROLL_(UP|DOWN|LEFT|RIGHT)
event separately (with the discrete event marked as emulated),
as this is what other backends (such as wayland) do.
Set delta_x or delta_y for GdkScrollEvent.
HIWORD (wParam) in WM_MOUSE(H)WHEEL is the scroll delta.
A delta value of WHEEL_DELTA (which is 120) means scrolling
one full unit of something (for example, a line).
The delta should also be multiplied by the value that the
SystemParametersInfo (SPI_GETWHEELSCROLL(LINES|CHARS), 0, &value, 0)
call gives back, unless it gives back 0xffffffff, in which case
it indicates that scrolling is page- or screen-based, not line-based
(GDK doesn't support that at the moment).
Also, all deltas should be inverted, since MS sends negative deltas
when scrolling down (rotating the wheel back, in the direction of
the user).
With deltas set the mode should be set to GDK_SCROLL_SMOOTH.
Fixes issue 1263.
In particular, this patch removes:
gdk_surface_get_events()
gdk_surface_set_events()
gdk_surface_get_device_events()
gdk_surface_set_device_events()
Event masks so far still exist for grabs.
There is no reason why we shouldn't pass this flag every time
Z-order changes. We have separate routines that are used to
maintain relative Z-order, so it should be completely OK to
pass SWP_NOOWNERZORDER to let the OS know that it shouldn't try
to maintain relative Z-order of the windows when raising them.
It's quite old, but mostly harmless (both "message == WM_KEYUP"
and "message = WM_KEYUP" evaluate to not-FALSE, and message
value is not used after that line).
