When opening a new window, we'll now try to find a suitable widget for
initial focus by picking the first available mouse-focusable one.
Whenever you press the tab key in a window with no focused widget,
we'll attempt to find a keyboard-focusable widget and give it focus.
This should make all applications keyboard-interactive immediately
without having to manually place focus with the mouse.
Every widget now has a GUI::FocusPolicy that determines how it can
receive focus:
- NoFocus: The widget is not focusable (default)
- TabFocus: The widget can be focused using the tab key.
- ClickFocus: The widget can be focused by clicking on it.
- StrongFocus: Both of the above.
For widgets that have a focus proxy, getting/setting the focus policy
will affect the proxy instead.
Instead of everyone overriding save_to() and set_property() and doing
a pretty asymmetric job of implementing the various properties, let's
add a bit of structure here.
Object properties are now represented by a Core::Property. Properties
are registered with a getter and setter (optional) in constructors.
I've added some convenience macros for creating and registering
properties, but this does still feel a bit bulky. We'll have to
iterate on this and see where it goes.
We got ourselves into a mess by making widgets override the window
cursor whenever they wanted a custom cursor. This patch introduces a
better solution to that issue: per-widget override cursors.
Each widget now has an override cursor that overrides the window
cursor when that widget is hovered.
When a resize_aspect_ratio is specified, and window will only be resized
to a multiple of that ratio. When resize_aspect_ratio is set, windows
cannot be tiled.
Various applications were using the same slightly verbose code to center
themselves on the screen/desktop:
Gfx::IntRect window_rect { 0, 0, width, height };
window_rect.center_within(GUI::Desktop::the().rect());
window->set_rect(window_rect);
Which now becomes:
window->resize(width, height);
window->center_on_screen();
This patch adds GUI::FocusEvent which has a GUI::FocusSource.
The focus source is one of three things:
- Programmatic
- Mouse
- Keyboard
This allows receivers of focus events to implement different behaviors
depending on how they receive/lose focus.
This prevents windows from being opened directly on top of eachother,
and provides default behavior for when window position is not specified.
The new behavior is as follows:
- Windows that have been created without a set position are assigned one
by WindowServer.
- The assigned position is either offset from the last window that is
still in an assigned position, or a default position if no such window
is available.
Accessory windows are windows that, when activated, will activate
their parent and bring all other accessory windows of that parent
to the front of the window stack. Accessory windows can only be
active input windows. The accessory window's parent is always the
active window regardless of whether it is also the active input
window.
In order to route input correctly, input is now sent to the active
input window, which can be any accessory window or their parent,
or any regular window.
Each window now has an associated progress integer that can be updated
via the SetWindowProgress IPC call.
This can be used by clients to indicate the progress of ongoing tasks.
Any number in the range 0 through 100 indicate a progress percentage.
Any other number means "no progress"
If a window has child windows when it's destroyed, WindowServer will
now automatically tear down all of its children as well.
This is communicated to the client program through a vector of window
ID's included with the response to WindowServer::DestroyWindow.
This does feel a little bit awkward, but managing it on the client side
also seems a bit awkward.
If a window has another window in its Core::Object ancestor chain,
we now communicate that relationship to WindowServer so that it can
act with awareness of parent/child windows.
If the area or size_in_bytes calculation for a Gfx::Bitmap would
overflow, we now refuse to create such a bitmap and return nullptr.
Thanks to @itamar8910 for finding this! :^)
Remember the override cursor in GUI::Window and avoid sending a message
to WindowServer when possible.
This removes a lot of synchronous IPC between Browser and WindowServer,
which noticeably improves DOM event responsiveness. :^)
Previously the focused widget would only get cleared on replacement or
on destruction (being a WeakPtr and all.) This could lead to window
dispatching events to a focused widget after it had been removed from
the window's widget tree.
The same issue existed for the hovered widget, etc. So this patch
makes sure that we eagerly clear the various widget pointers in Window
immediately when they are removed from the window's widget tree.
This patch adds two new API's:
- WidgetType& GUI::Window::set_main_widget<WidgetType>();
This creates a new main widget for a window, assigns it, and returns
it to you as a WidgetType&.
- LayoutType& GUI::Widget::set_layout<LayoutType>();
Same basic idea, creates a new layout, assigns it, and returns it to
you as a LayoutType&.
Previously it was only possible to change these window attributes when
creating a new window. This patch adds an IPC message that allows you
to change them at runtime.
We were not repainting windows that were occluded at the time of the
theme changing. This patch adds a way to bypass occlusion testing when
invalidating window rects.
Fixes#1249.
