[X11] Create windows with a parent window by t-sin · Pull Request #2246 · rust-windowing/winit

t-sin · 2022-04-06T23:06:22Z

This PR can create windows with a user-specified parent window. It's intended to realize what discussed in issue #159 for X11.

This is a retry #2096. In that time I was not aware CI fails so passed long time, the master branch proceeds so much from that PR so I cannot follow changes.

TODO

Tested on all platforms changed
- X11
Added an entry to CHANGELOG.md if knowledge of this change could be valuable to users
Updated documentation to reflect any user-facing changes, including notes of platform-specific behavior
Created or updated an example program if it would help users understand this functionality
Updated feature matrix, if new features were added or implemented

egui_sdl2_gl cannot create window with parent and with OpenGL context, it's because of the specification of SDL2 itself. so I should not use egui_sdl2_gl. Now I use egui-glow (internally uses egui-winit), but this don't support parent window, but I create Pull-Request to winit upstream (rust-windowing/winit#2246). For the merging that PR, as workarround, SoyBoy uses a folk of egui-glow on my GitHub accnount.

All checks have passed! It's truly ready for review 🎊

t-sin · 2022-04-20T12:51:42Z

This PR followed the HEAD of master. Including document updates.

t-sin · 2022-05-05T23:24:54Z

What does this PR stop? I’ll try to resolve that if I can.

madsmtm · 2022-05-06T09:01:18Z

We don't have a maintainer for X11 atm, so there's not really anyone to neither review nor accept the PR, sadly

t-sin · 2022-05-07T01:26:05Z

Oh... It make sense.

dhardy

Not from your PR, but maybe you could also fix these errors?

#[doc(hidden)] is ignored on trait impl items

The code here... really, there's not much to review, besides the example.

Being able to visualise things is always nice, so I added softbuffer as a dev-dependency and modified the example. See my commits here: https://github.com/dhardy/winit/commits/with-parent-window-in-x11

That is, child windows are created at the mouse coordinates as a child of the window clicked in. Seems to work fine to me.

Maybe pull my commits into this PR? Although it's somewhat orthogonal; @madsmtm? (I also copied the softbuffer example into winit/examples.)

 - On iOS, send `RedrawEventsCleared` even if there are no redraw events, consistent with other platforms.
 - **Breaking:** Replaced `Window::with_app_id` and `Window::with_class` with `Window::with_name` on `WindowBuilderExtUnix`.
 - On Wayland and X11, fix window not resizing with `Window::set_inner_size` after calling `Window:set_resizable(false)`.

Left over from a merge?

Oh sorry. Removed!

+    fn with_x11_parent(self, parent_id: usize) -> Self;


One other point worth making: is it possible to use the winit::WindowId here?

For X11 only, this doesn't matter much. If this feature gets generalised to other platforms (hopefully), then it would be better to use the WindowId.

usize is likely the wrong type to use here. X11 window IDs are u32s, as far as I can tell (although x11-dl's typedefs do make things confusing, and the definition of XID in the headers wasn't fun to track down).

As of #2351, we can make a WindowId from arbitrary u64s, so using it instead should be fine.

Good idea, thanks! I'll do that.

Further note: the child windows created by this PR are limited to the area of their parent. In general, it can be useful to have child windows without this restriction (e.g. menus may extend beyond the bounds of the parent).

t-sin · 2022-06-14T17:35:57Z

Sorry I did my project... I can do this PR starting this week end maybe.

Re adding softbuffer to our examples: I think it makes more sense to direct people toward it via. documentation, mostly since they don't support the same platforms as we do (glutin would be a better fit here), and is not a crate we're really in control of.

Using softbuffer should resolve issues with examples on Wayland, so it should simplify testing.

maroider · 2022-06-23T17:33:54Z

I'm personally not entirely sold on softbuffer's current API, but I think the benefits of adding it to the examples (i.e. no more complaints about windows not showing up on wayland) are worthwhile.

kchibisov · 2022-06-23T20:04:20Z

Yeah, I just want to have something that puts pixels into window, I'm not recommending softbuffer in particular.

dhardy · 2022-06-28T16:48:44Z

mostly since they don't support the same platforms as we do (glutin would be a better fit here)

Will there ever be a perfect fit? Moreover, I'm skeptical that using a complex hardware-accelerated API as the default for visualizations is the most reliable choice, even if GL does work basically everywhere.

Given some direction I'm happy to author a different PR regarding softbuffer-in-winit, but it's simple enough that anyone here could do this.

Nit: Also remove this

This is still not removed.

kchibisov

Could you rebase. Should be good after that.

Rebased!

We're inside the X11 extension.

Suggested change

/// Build window with X11's parent window. Only relevant on X11.

/// Build window with parent window.

thanks! fixed.

        let xconn = &event_loop.xconn;
-        let root = event_loop.root;
+        // root should be a type ffi::Window and it is finally c_ulong.


Remove this comment entirely, there's no value in it. The WindowID thing is clear.

kchibisov · 2022-09-05T20:26:42Z

+            // XID is defined as 32-bit value in the X11 protocol so
+            // there's no problem about higher bits truncation.
+            // cf. https://www.x.org/docs/XProtocol/proto.pdf


This comment also feels a bit strange. You can say WindowId is XID under the hood which doesn't exceed u32, so the conversion is lossless.

Because of X11/Wayland module separation

t-sin · 2022-09-18T01:05:06Z

Thanks @kchibisov for reviewing my some nits. I think these are fixed now (checked all diffs in the "Files changed" tab), but cargo check fails in my machine so I wait CI results...

EDITED: and sorry for late because of my private travelling...
