If the .af file for an app contains the App/Category key, we'll now put
it in a submenu of the system menu, together with all the other apps in
that same category. This is pretty neat! :^)
Okay, I've spent a whole day on this now, and it finally kinda works!
With this patch, CObject and all of its derived classes are reference
counted instead of tree-owned.
The previous, Qt-like model was nice and familiar, but ultimately also
outdated and difficult to reason about.
CObject-derived types should now be stored in RefPtr/NonnullRefPtr and
each class can be constructed using the forwarding construct() helper:
auto widget = GWidget::construct(parent_widget);
Note that construct() simply forwards all arguments to an existing
constructor. It is inserted into each class by the C_OBJECT macro,
see CObject.h to understand how that works.
CObject::delete_later() disappears in this patch, as there is no longer
a single logical owner of a CObject.
It's now possible to add a GMenu as a submenu of another GMenu.
Simply use the GMenu::add_submenu(NonnullOwnPtr<GMenu>) API :^)
The WindowServer now keeps track of a stack of open menus rather than
just one "current menu". This code needs a bit more work, but the basic
functionality is now here!
Take some inspiration from the first release of Visual Studio .NET and
add a left-hand stripe to contain the icons. And various other tweaks.
This isn't quite perfect, but it's pretty neat! :^)
Any GAction that has an icon assigned will now show up with that icon
when added to a menu as well.
I made the menu items 2px taller to accomodate the icons. I think this
turned out quite nice as well :^)
Paint a little checkbox frame for checkable items to make it obvious
that they are indeed checkable. This looks quite nice :^)
We also now shift all menu items to the right if we have any checkable
items in the menu.
Now that the window used by a WSMenu is its child CObject, the menu also
receives CChildEvent's about the window, including CEvent::ChildAdded when
the window gets created. At this point, menu_window() still returns nullptr,
so stop unconditionally assuming that it doesn't. We should not care whether
or not we have a window for unrelated events anyway.
Instead of LibGUI and WindowServer building their own copies of the drawing
and graphics code, let's it in a separate LibDraw library.
This avoids building the code twice, and will encourage better separation
of concerns. :^)
They show up as checkable GButtons in GToolBar, and with (or without) check
marks in menus.
There are a bunch of places to make use of this. This patch only takes
advantage of it in the FileManager for the view type actions.
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 was pretty straightforward thanks to the work I did separating out
LibCore from LibGUI already. :^)
- WSMessageLoop now inherits from CEventLoop.
- WSMessage now inherits from CEvent.
- WSMessageReceiver goes away.
Now there is only one event loop in Serenity. Very nice!
The enabled state of a GAction now propagates both to any toolbar buttons
and any menu items linked to the action. Toolbar buttons are painted in
a grayed out style when disabled. Menu items are gray when disabled. :^)
