How to intergrate with GTK+ interface?
« on: October 31, 2010, 12:56:33 pm »
On the tutorial site I find tutorials for how to intergrate SFML with Win32, X11 or Qt interface, but why not GTK+? Is it not possible to intergrate it with? :( I really want to use GTK+, and not Qt...
Or is it possible? Can anybody tell me how to do?

It's probably possible, but I don't use GTK so I can't help you. However if you know the library it shouldn't be hard to find out.

I'm quite new to GTK+, so it is a bit hard to find out ^^.
Do I need to get the window handle (for Windows HWND) from GTK+ to integrate? Or how about should I do it?

Yes. Take a look at other sources (those for Qt, wxWidgets, ...) and try to do the same kind of stuff :lol:

The Qt example might be useful to you, there is some GTK related code in it because Qt is built on top of GTK on Linux.

I get insane  :x Google is not on my side, I can't find out how to get the Win32 handle from a GtkWidget  :cry:

Sorry, I said "Qt" but I meant "wxWidgets" in my previous post.

The wxSFMLCanvas source code uses GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW on the GtkWindow* to retrieve its system handle. Don't know if it works for all platforms, and if it is the right solution, but it might help you.

I just tried "get gtkwindow hwnd", and a lot of useful links are found. Just replace "hwnd" for other OSes.

I find those pages too, but for example when trying GDK_WINDOW_HWND() or something, I get "not declared" errors :(.

Did you include the corresponding header?

I include, as I think only needed, <gtk/gtk.h>. More files are included by gtk.h I think. There are tons of includes so I can't simply try which include must be included by myself for that.

Qt isn't built on top of GTK on Linux, the only relation is a theme engine for Qt that uses GTK+ drawing code.

I think you can easily integrate SFML with GTK+ using the RenderWindow constructor that accepts the window handle as parameter and by properly redrawing the window at each frame.

I corrected in my next post, I was talking about wxWidgets.

Yah... this part is already clear, what we're trying to do is to get the window handle.

Humm,

For Windows, you must call GDK_WINDOW_HWND passing the GdkWindow as parameter.

For others you must call GDK_DRAWABLE_XID passing the GdkDrawable (such as a GdkWindow) as parameter. GDK_WINDOW_XID() passing the GdkWindow should work too.

..., but for example when trying GDK_WINDOW_HWND() or something, I get "not declared" errors :(.
Even, if I include <gdk/gdk.h>.

EDIT:
Okay, I'm so far now:
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gdk/gdkwin32.h> // new
...
... GDK_WINDOW_HWND(gtk_widget_get_window(window));
...
 
Having the following libs linked:
-lgtk-win32-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0
And added this lib for GDK_WINDOW_HWND:
-lgdk-win32-2.0

The compiling and linking works. But when running the program, I get an error (translated in English):
Quote
The procedure entry "gtk_widget_get_window" couldn't be found in the DLL "libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll".
What to do?


EDIT2:

Okay, I'm almost there.
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gdk/gdkwin32.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

sf::RenderWindow App;

void on_frame(void *user)
{
  App.Clear(sf::Color(0, 192, 255));
  App.Display();
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  GtkBuilder *builder;
  GtkWidget *window;
 
  gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
 
  window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
 
  //GDK_WINDOW_HWND(gtk_widget_get_window(window));
  App.Create(GDK_WINDOW_HWND(window->window));
  //gdk_win32_drawable_get_handle(window);
 
  g_signal_connect(window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);
  g_signal_connect(window, "frame-event", G_CALLBACK(on_frame), NULL);
 
 
  gtk_widget_show_all(window);
 
 
  gtk_main();
 
  return 0;
}
 
But I'm not sure which signal to use, the window keeps grey.

You could put the Clear and Display code inside a "expose-event" window event and call gtk_widget_queue_draw on each frame.

I have tried it with "expose-event" too. First without gtk_widget_queue_draw(), but tried it now, too.
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <gdk/gdkwin32.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

sf::RenderWindow App;

void on_expose(GtkWidget *widget, GdkEventExpose *event, gpointer user)
{
  printf("Expose\n");
  App.Clear(sf::Color(0, 192, 255));
  App.Display();
  gtk_widget_queue_draw(widget);
}
void on_show(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer user)
{
  printf("Show\n");
  App.Clear(sf::Color(0, 192, 255));
  App.Display();
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  GtkWidget *window;
  GtkWidget *area;
 
  gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
 
  window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(window), 10);
 
  area = gtk_drawing_area_new();
  //gtk_drawing_area_size(GTK_DRAWING_AREA(area), 640, 480);
  gtk_widget_set_size_request(area, 640, 480);
  //gtk_widget_realize(area);
  gtk_widget_set_double_buffered(area, false);
 
  gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), area);
 
  App.Create(GDK_WINDOW_HWND(area->window));
  App.SetSize(640, 480);
 
 
  g_signal_connect(window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);
  //g_signal_connect(area, "frame-event", G_CALLBACK(on_frame), NULL);
  g_signal_connect(area, "expose-event", G_CALLBACK(on_expose), NULL);
  g_signal_connect(area, "show", G_CALLBACK(on_show), NULL);
 
 
  gtk_widget_show_all(window);
 
 
  gtk_main();
 
  return 0;
}
