Re: [Pharo-users] separate native window of same Pharo image

[kmo]

Who knows whether OSWindow is maintained? Who knows if anybody cares that it
doesn't work on Windows? 

OSWindow is like lots of things that suddenly appear in the Pharo standard
image. There's no documentation. There's no plan. That's the Pharo way. Give
it a year or two and it will be superseded by another framework doing the
same thing which will also have no documentation, killer bugs, and no plan.

Well this is more of a show-stopper than just an issue.

Is the project maintained? Is Windows support something that is planned?

Thanks,
Peter

I believe this is a known Windows issue. I have certainly seen it on my
Windows machine at work. Doesn't happen on Linux.

Thank you both, this is exactly what I was looking for!

But I ran into an issue (maybe this is Windows (10) specific):

once I open the window, the original Pharo window is no longer responsive.
It is not frozen, I can see a cursor blinking in the playground, but
clicking anywhere or pressing any key doesn't do anything.
This behavior persists even after I close the new window.
Only when I press ctrl (without anything else) the content of the
playground gets executed again, but that's it.

I will try tomorrow on a different machine.

Re: [Pharo-users] separate native window of same Pharo image

[kmo]

it is perfectly possible with OS-Window to create a morphic world and create
your own morphic content for it, then display it in a completely different
operating system window.

This is how I created a simple application which displays geometric "roses"
in a separate window to the pharo window.

First create your morph. In my case RosesMorph. This can be a compound morph
with as many sub-morphs as you like. In this way you can build a complete
application interface.

Now create a sub class of OSWindowWorldMorph like this:

OSWindowWorldMorph subclass: #RosesWorldMorph
instanceVariableNames: ''
classVariableNames: ''
package: 'KMP-Roses

Add the following methods to your OSWindowWorldMorph subclass using this
code as a model:

RosesWorldMorph>>osWindowCloseButtonPressed
self delete

RosesWorldMorph>>initialize
| rosesMorph rosesFrame |
super initialize.
self layoutPolicy: ProportionalLayout new.
self extent: 600 @ 600.
self osWindow title: 'Roses'.
rosesMorph := RosesMorph new.
rosesMorph
color:
(Color
r: 0.13
g: 0.13
b: 0.13
alpha: 1.0).
rosesFrame := LayoutFrame
fractions: (0 @ 0 corner: 1 @ 1)
offsets: (0 @ 0 corner: 0 @ 0).
self addMorph: rosesMorph fullFrame: rosesFrame.
rosesMorph sticky: true
  
As you can see once you have an OSWindowWorldMorph you can add whatever
morphs you like to it.

Now you can launch your RosesWorld app in a separate window like this:

RosesWorldMorph new open.

Hope this helps

Re: [Pharo-users] separate native window of same Pharo image

[alvaro piorno]

Hi,
I played a bit with that. I did something like this:

window := OSWindow createWithAttributes: (OSWindowAttributes new resizable:
false; yourself).
window title: title.
And then:

surface := AthensCairoSDLSurface fromSDLSurface: self window handle handle
getWindowSurface


Then you can render everything in the surface from Pharo.

Is this what you want?.

[Pharo-users] separate native window of same Pharo image

[Peter Uhnák]

Hi,

did anyone play around with launching a separate native window for Pharo?

E.g. I have normal window in which Pharo is, and then I open a separate
native window that shows just e.g. Transcript.

I know that there are some projects like OSWindow-SDL and OSWindows-UI
(using WinAPI), but both of them are aimed at opening windows with
non-pharo content, which is not what I want.

Any pointers?

Thanks,
Peter
