Hey all,
Hoping to get some help on an older version of Gtkmm (2.4). I'm supporting
some legacy code and as we migrate to newer versions of OS, we're running
into issues with some drawing functionality.
To boil it down, we are creating a GdkWindow via gdk_window_foreign_new()
from a drawable window, and then wrapping that in a
Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drawable> via Glib::wrap().
void InitDrawable() {
Window win; // local variable, assume initialized properly
Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drawable> drawable;
GdkWindow* w = gdk_window_foreign_new(win)
drawable = Glib::wrap(w);
}
The issue is that everything works fine the first time through. But if we
resize the window, the drawable->get_size() always returns whatever size
the window was when the drawable was initialized.
I've tried a bunch of different ideas to try to get this to work:
- gdk_window_foreign_new_for_display(dpy, win) has no effect on behavior
- drawable.reset() to free up the GdkWindow and re-initialize whenever the
Window resizes.
- XGetGeometry(dpy, win, ...) followed by drawable->resize() or
gdk_window_resize(win,...)
Nothing seems to work. Resize() has no effect on the GdkWindow. Freeing
the drawable and then calling gdk_window_foreign_new() actually returns the
same value for the GdkWindow* every time.
I'm hoping someone has some clues as to what I'm doing wrong. I'd be happy
with any kind of workaround just to get this functional. Suggestions to
just upgrade to latest are not helpful, as this is legacy code. However,
we are in the middle of rewriting the front end in pure Gtkmm, so this
issue will not last forever. I just need to get the previous version
stabilized for the porting period.
