SetParent for Linux and Windows

The most of you (hardcore coders) knows that a PB child window is a bit misspelled.
A real child window exist only inside the client region of it's parent.
How ever I searched the forum and found more than 50 times SetParent_ the WINDOWS API command
but nothing about Linux. (or I'm blind)
here are how you can do it with Linux too
DJ.
Code: Select all
; put child window in client region of a parent window
EnableExplicit
Procedure SetParent(Child.i, Parent.i)
If IsWindow(Child)=0
Child=WindowID(Child)
If Child=#Null
MessageRequester("error:","SetParent() wrong child param !"):End
EndIf
EndIf
If IsWindow(Parent)=0
Parent=WindowID(Parent)
If Parent=#Null
MessageRequester("error:","SetParent() wrong parent param !"):End
EndIf
EndIf
CompilerSelect #PB_Compiler_OS
CompilerCase #PB_OS_Windows
SetParent_(Child,Parent)
CompilerCase #PB_OS_Linux
Protected *childWidget.GtkWidget = Child
Protected *parentWidget.GtkWidget = Parent
gdk_window_reparent_(*childWidget\Window, *parentWidget\Window, 0, 0)
CompilerCase #PB_OS_MacOS
Debug "No solution for MacOS yet !"
CompilerEndSelect
EndProcedure
Now i can mix PB gadgets with an OpenGL borderless child window.
Linux:
Windows:

For multi-platform code it's more safe to write the code like this :
Code: Select all
Procedure SetParent(Child.i, Parent.i)
CompilerSelect #PB_Compiler_OS
CompilerCase #PB_OS_Windows
SetParent_(WindowID(child), WindowID(parent))
CompilerCase #PB_OS_Linux
Protected *childWidget.GtkWidget = WindowID(child)
Protected *parentWidget.GtkWidget = WindowID(parent)
gdk_window_reparent_(*childWidget\Window, *parentWidget\Window, 0, 0)
CompilerCase #PB_OS_MacOS
Debug "No solution for MacOS yet !"
CompilerEndSelect
EndProcedure
But this just my opinion. Otherwise, nice job !
Best regards.

and for multiprocessor, it is better to use integer for handles
nice work!

The result of XXXId() are handles and can be pointers * or integers
but in my "pseudo code" the params #child and #parent are
only numbers
and the range of 32 bit numbers are more than you will ever use in any PB application.
Or do you mean enum's are 32 bit on x86 and 64 bit on a 64 bit OS ?

Remember:
If you use #PB_Any to create Windows/whatever, the result will be an address.

Should be more safe now.
(see at first post)

Thanks, for changing to .i, but the check is not required,
only the programmer sets the parameter!
The MessageRequester is not good, what should the user of your program
do, after this request
.
If you check anything, only add a Debug-Output!
