This widget is automatically included in GStatusBar, but can be added in
any other place, too. When clicked (with the left button), it initiates a
window resize (using a WM request.)
In this patch I also fixed up some issues with override cursors being
cleared after the WindowServer finishes a drag or resize.
This could be tail-call-optimized but it's not, so we end up overflowing the
stack space if we recurse too many times. This was causing crashes when
resizing Minesweeper.
To get truly atomic updates, add a mechanism for passing arbitrary amounts
of extra data along with WindowServer messages. This allows us to pass all
the rects in a single message.
This patch adds a simple GMessageBox that can run in a nested event loop.
Here's how you use it:
GMessageBox box("Message text here", "Message window title");
int result = box.exec();
The next step is to make the WindowServer respect the modality flag of
these windows and prevent interaction with other windows in the same
process until the modal window has been closed.
I'm gonna want to have nested event loops sooner or later, so let's not
pollute GEventLoop with things that are meant to work globally.
This patch also changes key events to pass around their modifiers as a
bitfield all the way around the system instead of breaking them up.
This patch adds a GShortcut class. Each GAction can have a GShortcut which
will cause the event loop to listen for that key combination app-globally
and activate the event in case it's pressed.
The shortcut will also be displayed when the action is added to a menu.
Use this to hook up Alt+Up with the "open parent directory" action in the
FileManager app. :^)
Windows now learn when the mouse cursor leaves or enters them.
Use this to implement GWidget::{enter,leave}_event() and use that
to implement the CoolBar button effect. :^)
These functions don't exit immediately, but rather on the next iteration
of the event loop.
Since exit() is already used by the standard library, let's call it quit()
instead. That way, saying exit() means the same thing here as anywhere else.
In order to move the WindowServer to userspace, I have to eliminate its
dependence on system call facilities. The communication channel with each
client needs to be message-based in both directions.
GMenu now has an "on_item_activation" callback that fires whenever one
of its items are activated. The menu item identifier is used to distinguish
between items.
Use this to implement font switching in Terminal. :^)
To facilitate listening for action on arbitrary file descriptors,
I've added a GNotifier class. It's quite simple but very useful:
GNotifier notifier(fd, GNotifier::Read);
notifier.on_ready_to_read = [this] (GNotifier& fd) {
// read from fd or whatever else you like :^)
};
The callback will get invoked by GEventLoop when select() says we
have something to read on the fd.
Clicking the button generates a WindowCloseRequest event which the client app
then has to deal with. The default behavior for GWindow is to close() itself.
I also added a flag, GWindow::should_exit_event_loop_on_close() which does
what it sounds like it does.
This patch exposed some bugs in GWindow and GWidget teardown.
GObjects can now register a timer with the GEventLoop. This will eventually
cause GTimerEvents to be dispatched to the GObject.
This needed a few supporting changes in the kernel:
- The PIT now ticks 1000 times/sec.
- select() now supports an arbitrary timeout.
- gettimeofday() now returns something in the tv_usec field.
With these changes, the clock window in guitest2 finally ticks on its own.
