When a GAction is activated by a menu, or by a toolbar button, you can
now use GAction::activator() to get a pointer to whomever activated it.
This can be used to implement context-specific behaviors in situations
where the same action is exposed through multiple paths.
This addresses an issue that was brought up in #826.
We now take advantage of SharedBuffers being purgeable memory by
setting the volatile flag on window back buffers while not painting
into them.
This means that one of the two backing stores used by each window
is purgeable+volatile most of the time, allowing the kernel to purge
it to recover memory if needed.
Note that this is only relevant when double-buffering is turned on,
but since that is the default, this does affect most apps. :^)
Using int was a mistake. This patch changes String, StringImpl,
StringView and StringBuilder to use size_t instead of int for lengths.
Obviously a lot of code needs to change as a result of this.
This bitmap is displayed alongside the dragged text underneath the
mouse cursor while dragging.
This will be a perfect fit for dragging e.g files around. :^)
This patch enables basic drag&drop between applications.
You initiate a drag by creating a GDragOperation object and calling
exec() on it. This creates a nested event loop in the calling program
that only returns once the drag operation has ended.
On the receiving side, you get a call to GWidget::drop_event() with
a GDropEvent containing information about the dropped data.
The only data passed right now is a piece of text that's also used
to visually indicate that a drag is happening (by showing the text in
a little box that follows the mouse cursor around.)
There are things to fix here, but we're off to a nice start. :^)
Instead of passing the PIDs back and forth in a handshake "Greet"
message, just use getsockopt(SO_PEERCRED) on both sides to get the same
information from the kernel.
This is a nice little simplification of the IPC protocol, although it
does not get rid of the handshake since we still have to pass the
"client ID" from the server to each client so they know how to refer
to themselves. This might not be necessary and we might be able to get
rid of this later on.
This matches what we're already calling the server-side subclasses
better, though we'll probably want to find some better names for the
client-side classes eventually.
This patch introduces code generation for the WindowServer IPC with
its clients. The client/server endpoints are defined by the two .ipc
files in Servers/WindowServer/: WindowServer.ipc and WindowClient.ipc
It now becomes significantly easier to add features and capabilities
to WindowServer since you don't have to know nearly as much about all
the intricate paths that IPC messages take between LibGUI and WSWindow.
The new system also uses significantly less IPC bandwidth since we're
now doing packed serialization instead of passing fixed-sized structs
of ~600 bytes for each message.
Some repaint coalescing optimizations are lost in this conversion and
we'll need to look at how to implement those in the new world.
The old CoreIPC::Client::Connection and CoreIPC::Server::Connection
classes are removed by this patch and replaced by use of ConnectionNG,
which will be renamed eventually.
Goodbye, old WindowServer IPC. You served us well :^)
This patch adds InsertTextCommand and RemoveTextCommand.
These two commands are used to ... insert and remove text :^)
The bulk of the logic is moved into GTextDocument, and we now use the
command's redo() virtual to perform the action. Or in other words, when
you type into the text editor, we create an InsertTextCommand, push it
onto the undo stack, and call redo() on it immediately. That's how the
text gets inserted.
This makes it quite easy to implement more commands, as there is no
distinction between a redo() and the initial application.
This patch converts the undo stack from GTextDocument into GUndoStack,
and GTextDocumentUndoCommand now inherits from GCommand.
Let's turn this into a generic mechanism that can be used to implement
undo/redo in any application. :^)
After resorting, we now re-map every selected index so it matches the
new row mappings. This makes the process table view in SystemMonitor
behave normally again :^)
Previously they would resort based on the column immediately when you
mousedown on them. Now we track the click event and show the header
in a pressed state, etc. The usual button stuff :^)
This works for C++ syntax highlighted text documents by caching the C++
token type in a new "arbitrary data" member of GTextDocumentSpan.
When the cursor is placed immediately before a '{' or immediately after
a '}', we highlight both of these brace buddies by changing their
corresponding spans to have a different background color.
..and spans can also now have a custom background color. :^)
The Launcher's functionality has been replaced by the app shortcuts in
the system menu.
There were various window management hacks to ensure that the launcher
stayed below all other windows while also being movable, etc.
To protect the layout system from negative input values, we were using
an empty Rect() whenever an empty rect (width/height <= 0) was provided
to set_relative_rect().
This caused Terminal's scrollbar code to fail, since it relies on first
setting only the scrollbar width on startup, and then setting up the
proper geometry in response to the initial resize event.
Fixes#753.
You can now register a GWidget subclass with REGISTER_GWIDGET(class)
and it will be available for factory construction through the new
GWidgetClassRegistration interface.
To obtain a GWidgetClassRegistration for a given class name, you call
GWidgetClassRegistration::find(class_name). You can also iterate over
all the registered classes using GWCR::for_each(callback).
This will be very useful for implementing a proper GUI designer, and
also in the future for things like script bindings.
NOTE: All of the registrations are done in GWidget.cpp at the moment
since I ran into trouble with the fricken linker pruning the global
constructors this mechanism relies on. :^)
GTreeView was forgetting to call to base in did_update_selection().
This prevented GAbstractView from firing the on_selection hook and we
ended up with only the on_selection_change hook firing.
