Copy events in a new render window

[aceman1209]

Hi all. SFML.net does not have a Create () method for window. And to apply the changes it needs to be closed and re-created. But events will be reset if i recreate window.

How can I copy all the events in a new rendering window?

What are you trying to achieve?

So what's the issue really, because when you say you want to copy events, you're clearly doing something wrong.

What's your code?

[aceman1209]

This is my own GameWindow class

namespace Amari.Display
{
    public class GameWindow
    {
        internal RenderWindow renderWindow;

        public Viewport viewport;
        public bool IsFullscreen { get; private set; }

        public event EventHandler<SizeEventArgs> Resized;

        public bool IsOpen
        {
            get
            {
                return renderWindow.IsOpen;
            }
        }

        public GameWindow(bool IsFullScreen)
        {
            renderWindow = new RenderWindow(new VideoMode(800, 600), "", IsFullscreen ? Styles.Fullscreen : Styles.Default);
        }

        public void UpdateVideoMode(VideoMode videoMode, bool IsFullscreen)
        {
            renderWindow = new RenderWindow(videoMode, "", IsFullscreen ? Styles.Fullscreen : Styles.Default);
        }

        public void DispatchEvents() => renderWindow.DispatchEvents();
        public void Display() => renderWindow.Display();
    }
 

When i use UpdateVideoMode, the window is recreated and apply new videomode but all events will be reseted.

I add a simple code in GameWindow class and change constructor

        public GameWindow(bool IsFullScreen)
        {
            renderWindow = new RenderWindow(new VideoMode(800, 600), "", IsFullscreen ? Styles.Fullscreen : Styles.Default);
            renderWindow.Resized += RenderWindow_Resized;
        }

        private void RenderWindow_Resized(object sender, SizeEventArgs e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine($"Window resized");
        }
 

When i resize a window i get a message in console "Window resized"

Okay, its right.

But i add a two new lines in costructor

    renderWindow.Close();
    VideoModeUpdate(new VideoMode(1280, 720), false);
 

For example i set a new videomode in constructor.

Window initialized and works, but event doesnt.

I attach a screenshots.

Why i need to copy events? Because in other classes i use a renderWindow events and i dont want to update them after every window change. For example, my own mouse class part.

         private void GameWindow_MouseButtonPressed(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            is_Button_Pressed[(int)e.Button] = true;
            is_Button_Released[(int)e.Button] = false;
        }

        private void GameWindow_MouseButtonReleased(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            is_Button_Pressed[(int)e.Button] = false;
            is_Button_Released[(int)e.Button] = true;    
        }
 

If i recreate window i need to update this events, but object already created and in use. I need write a method for events link to a new window. But it's not convenient.

Sorry for my english, i'm not very strong in it.

Oh, I see. "Events" in .Net have a different meaning than in C++. So what you want to keep are the installed event handlers, which makes more sense indeed.

I admit that I've never thought about this issue, and I have no solution for you right now.

I was responded to a ru.stackoverflow.com. I think this is a working solution.

Add my own event with Render Window event args.

    public event EventHandler<SizeEventArgs> Resized;
 

Then add a listener for Render Window resized event. I wrote a method for this.

         private void LinkEvents()
        {
            renderWindow.Resized += RenderWindow_Resized;
        }
 

When I recreate window I call LinkEvents() method after window initializing.

Listener method is very simple.

     private void RenderWindow_Resized(object sender, SizeEventArgs e) => Resized?.Invoke(sender, e);
 

When render window event works i call a my event Invoke with arguments. And it works.
