Window / [mac os x][sfml-1.6]Window from non-main-Thread

« on: February 05, 2011, 09:36:54 am »

Like the title says, i have tried to use the window class from outside the main thread with great success on every system except on mac os x.
As soon as i create a window object in an other thread than main, i get a(i'm not mac user but they seem to call it that way) waterball of death and a window with a white tile bar.

My Software is written in a way that makes it difficult to change the window and OpenGL managing thread to the main thread. So doe's anybody know a solution?


Here a piece of code that should represent the problem and should cause the same problem as described:

Code: [Select]



#include <SFML/Window.hpp>



void threadProc(void* userData){
    // Create the main window
    sf::Window App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "SFML Events");

    // Get a reference to the input manager associated to our window, and store it for later use
    const sf::Input& Input = App.GetInput();

    // Start main loop
    while (App.IsOpened())
    {
        // Process events
        sf::Event Event;
        while (App.GetEvent(Event))
        {
            // Close window : exit
            if (Event.Type == sf::Event::Closed)
                App.Close();

            // Escape key : exit
            if ((Event.Type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && (Event.Key.Code == sf::Key::Escape))
                App.Close();
        }

        // Display window on screen
        App.Display();
    }

}

int main()
{
sf::Thread Thread(threadProc);
Thread.Launch();
Thread.Wait();

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}


Hope i made it clear, although my english is on a very low level.
