The extension keyboard support in XInput 1.x is hopelessly broken.
Nevertheless, it's possible to use some bits of it, as we prefer the
core keyboard events to the XInput events, thus at least having proper
handling for X11 key events on the Stage window.
The XI 1.0 layer is complementary to the X11 core devices handling; this
means that core events will still be emitted for the core pointer and
keyboard devices, and that secondary (floating) devices should be
handled on top of that.
Thus, the XI event handling code should be executed (if explicitly
compiled in and enabled) if the core device events have not been parsed.
Note: this is going away with XI2, which completely replaces both core and
XI1 events.
Even with XInput support we should always register core devices. This
allows us to handle enter and leave events correctly on the Stage and
to have a working XInput 1.x support in Clutter.
Mostly lifted from the core pointer and keyboard X11 backend support.
The win32 backend registers two devices (a core pointer and a core
keyboard) and assigns them to the event structure when doing the
translation from native events to Clutter events.
Thanks to: Samuel Degrande <Samuel.Degrande@lifl.fr> for testing this
patch.
Instead of overloading the device id of 0 and 1 we should treat the core
devices as special, and have a pointer inside the X11 backend singleton
structure, for fast access.
When an InputDevice leaves a stage we set the stage member of
InputDevice to NULL. We should also unset the cursor_actor (as the
device is obviously not on an actor any more).
When the device re-enters the Stage the ENTER/LEAVE event generation
machinery will then be able to emit the ENTER event on the Stage.
If the user presses a button on a pointer device and then moves out the
Stage X11 will emit the following events:
LeaveNotify ➔ MotionNotify ... ➔ ButtonRelease ➔ LeaveNotify
The second LeaveNotify differs from the first by the state field.
Unfortunately, ClutterCrossingEvent doesn't have a modifier_state field
like other events, so we cannot provide a way for programmatically
distinguishing them from a Clutter perspective. This is also an X11-ism
we might not even want to replicate on every backend with sane
enter/leave semantics.
For this reason we should check inside the X11 event processing if the
pointer device has already left the Stage and ignore the second
LeaveNotify.
The Stage field of an InputDevice is set by the backend, whenever the
pointer enters or leaves the Stage. The Stage should not overwrite the
stage field for every event it processes.
The previous state for the device is used by the click count machinery
and we should not be overwriting it at every event; instead, we should
use a parallel storage for the current state coming from the windowing
system.
• The enter/leave event line should take into account the case where
the related field is set to NULL (meaning entering from off-stage
and leaving the stage).
• The ButtonRelease line shows the click count but uses the button; the
button *and* the click count should be displayed for both ButtonPress
and ButtonRelease, to verify they match.
The device manager does not need to update the state of the devices
when the user has disabled the delivery of motion events to actors:
the events will always be delivered as they are to the stage.
The LEAVE/ENTER event pairs should be queued during the InputDevice
update process, when we change the actor under the device pointer.
This commit cleans up the event emission code inside clutter-main.c
and the logic of the event processing.
The output of test-events is a bit of a mess; this patch should clean
it up a little bit - at least enough for it to be useful again during
visual inspection.
The InputDevice objects stores pointer coordinates, state, stage and
the actor under the cursor, so if the current backend provides us with
one attached to the Event structure then we want the InputDevice itself
to update its state and give us the ClutterActor underneath the
pointer's cursor.
Even when we are not using XInput we now have fallback devices; the
X11 backend should always assign the default devices when translating
the X events to Clutter events.
Use the device manager to store the input devices. Also, provide
two fallback devices when initializing the X11 backend: device 0
for the pointer and device 1 for the keyboard.
The win32 backend now handles the WM_SETCURSOR message and sets a
fully transparent cursor if the cursor-visible property has been
cleared on the stage. The icon is stored in the library via a resource
file. The instance handle for the DLL is needed to load the resource
so there is now a DllMain function to grab the handle.
Otherwise the paint handler will still be run for the subsequent
tests. This ends up writing to the ‘state’ variable which used to be
on the stack so it will end up corrupting some stack variable. This
was causing test-cogl-premult to fail.
g_list_foreach has better protection against the current node being
removed. This will happen for example if someone calls
clutter_container_foreach(container, clutter_actor_destroy). This was
causing valgrind errors for the conformance tests which do just that.
