Previously the client would only learn the mime type of what was being
dropped on it once the drop occurred. To enable more sophisticated
filtering of drag & drop, we now pass along the list of mime types being
dragged to the client with each MouseMove event.
(Note that MouseMove is translated to the various Drag* events in LibGUI
on the client side.)
If a widget accept()'s a "drag enter" event, that widget now becomes
the application-wide "pending drop" widget. That state is cleared if
the drag moves over another widget (or leaves the window entirely.)
These events allow widgets to react when a drag enters/leaves their
rectangle. The enter event carries position + mime type, while the
leave event has no information.
Instead of each window having a bool flag that says whether that window
is currently active, have a pointer to the active window on the app
object instead.
This patch removes size policies and preferred sizes, and replaces them
with min-size and max-size for each widget.
Box layout now works in 3 passes:
1) Set all items (widgets/spacers) to their min-size
2) Distribute remaining space evenly, respecting max-size
3) Place widgets one after the other, adding spacing in between
I've also added convenience helpers for setting a fixed size (which is
the same as setting min-size and max-size to the same value.)
This significantly reduces the verbosity of widget layout and makes GML
a bit more pleasant to write, too. :^)
This was a goofy kernel API where you could assign an icon_id (int) to
a process which referred to a global shbuf with a 16x16 icon bitmap
inside it.
Instead of this, programs that want to display a process icon now
retrieve it from the process executable instead.
Just like the other event handler functions, handle_resize_event()
shouldn't assume that the window has a main widget (which is being
resized in this case).
Fixes#4450.
The focus_dependent_delete_action that sits in the file manager's
toolbar would always remain enabled, even if nothing was selected,
activating it if nothing was selected would then crash the application.
The action is now correctly enabled/disabled, but due to the way
selection works in TreeViews, something is always selected, what really
matters is if the TreeView has something selected, and it has focus.
As it currently stands, there is no way to know when the TreeView's
is_focused status changes. In order for this to work I added a callback
to the Widget class which fires when a widget receives or looses focus.
In that callback, the focus_dependent_delete_action's enabled value is
recalculated.
This makes most operations thread safe, especially so that they
can safely be used in the Kernel. This includes obtaining a strong
reference from a weak reference, which now requires an explicit
call to WeakPtr::strong_ref(). Another major change is that
Weakable::make_weak_ref() may require the explicit target type.
Previously we used reinterpret_cast in WeakPtr, assuming that it
can be properly converted. But WeakPtr does not necessarily have
the knowledge to be able to do this. Instead, we now ask the class
itself to deliver a WeakPtr to the type that we want.
Also, WeakLink is no longer specific to a target type. The reason
for this is that we want to be able to safely convert e.g. WeakPtr<T>
to WeakPtr<U>, and before this we just reinterpret_cast the internal
WeakLink<T> to WeakLink<U>, which is a bold assumption that it would
actually produce the correct code. Instead, WeakLink now operates
on just a raw pointer and we only make those constructors/operators
available if we can verify that it can be safely cast.
In order to guarantee thread safety, we now use the least significant
bit in the pointer for locking purposes. This also means that only
properly aligned pointers can be used.
When computing the chain of focusable widgets in a window, only include
each widget once (to avoid loops) and resolve focus proxies immediately
instead of lazily. This prevents the focus from getting stuck when
cycling backwards and hitting a proxy that points forward.
When opening a new window, we'll now try to find a suitable widget for
initial focus by picking the first available mouse-focusable one.
Whenever you press the tab key in a window with no focused widget,
we'll attempt to find a keyboard-focusable widget and give it focus.
This should make all applications keyboard-interactive immediately
without having to manually place focus with the mouse.
Every widget now has a GUI::FocusPolicy that determines how it can
receive focus:
- NoFocus: The widget is not focusable (default)
- TabFocus: The widget can be focused using the tab key.
- ClickFocus: The widget can be focused by clicking on it.
- StrongFocus: Both of the above.
For widgets that have a focus proxy, getting/setting the focus policy
will affect the proxy instead.
Instead of everyone overriding save_to() and set_property() and doing
a pretty asymmetric job of implementing the various properties, let's
add a bit of structure here.
Object properties are now represented by a Core::Property. Properties
are registered with a getter and setter (optional) in constructors.
I've added some convenience macros for creating and registering
properties, but this does still feel a bit bulky. We'll have to
iterate on this and see where it goes.
We got ourselves into a mess by making widgets override the window
cursor whenever they wanted a custom cursor. This patch introduces a
better solution to that issue: per-widget override cursors.
Each widget now has an override cursor that overrides the window
cursor when that widget is hovered.
When a resize_aspect_ratio is specified, and window will only be resized
to a multiple of that ratio. When resize_aspect_ratio is set, windows
cannot be tiled.
Various applications were using the same slightly verbose code to center
themselves on the screen/desktop:
Gfx::IntRect window_rect { 0, 0, width, height };
window_rect.center_within(GUI::Desktop::the().rect());
window->set_rect(window_rect);
Which now becomes:
window->resize(width, height);
window->center_on_screen();
This patch adds GUI::FocusEvent which has a GUI::FocusSource.
The focus source is one of three things:
- Programmatic
- Mouse
- Keyboard
This allows receivers of focus events to implement different behaviors
depending on how they receive/lose focus.
This prevents windows from being opened directly on top of eachother,
and provides default behavior for when window position is not specified.
The new behavior is as follows:
- Windows that have been created without a set position are assigned one
by WindowServer.
- The assigned position is either offset from the last window that is
still in an assigned position, or a default position if no such window
is available.
Accessory windows are windows that, when activated, will activate
their parent and bring all other accessory windows of that parent
to the front of the window stack. Accessory windows can only be
active input windows. The accessory window's parent is always the
active window regardless of whether it is also the active input
window.
In order to route input correctly, input is now sent to the active
input window, which can be any accessory window or their parent,
or any regular window.
During app teardown, the Application object may be destroyed before
something else, and so having Application::the() return a reference was
obscuring the truth about its lifetime.
This patch makes the API more honest by returning a pointer. While
this makes call sites look a bit more sketchy, do note that the global
Application pointer only becomes null during app teardown.
Each window now has an associated progress integer that can be updated
via the SetWindowProgress IPC call.
This can be used by clients to indicate the progress of ongoing tasks.
Any number in the range 0 through 100 indicate a progress percentage.
Any other number means "no progress"
If a window has child windows when it's destroyed, WindowServer will
now automatically tear down all of its children as well.
This is communicated to the client program through a vector of window
ID's included with the response to WindowServer::DestroyWindow.
This does feel a little bit awkward, but managing it on the client side
also seems a bit awkward.
If a window has another window in its Core::Object ancestor chain,
we now communicate that relationship to WindowServer so that it can
act with awareness of parent/child windows.
If the area or size_in_bytes calculation for a Gfx::Bitmap would
overflow, we now refuse to create such a bitmap and return nullptr.
Thanks to @itamar8910 for finding this! :^)
