Yes, the right-click thing seems to be completely out of the scope of QT or Gideros. From QT point of view, it is just a mouse click.

strange, does that mean that it is hopeless to correct this? that would be really sad for my right-clicky new imgui gui.

keszegh · September 2021

i would also use win32 export, but it does not support additional app windows and a lot of small stuff that i'd need, as far as i remember.

btw @rrraptor i tried imgui using a win32 export and it renders ok but clicking behaves like hovering and i cannot click nor right-click on it in any way. also when i want to make a new font with FontAtlas:addFont debugview said:
[14640] [2148] ..\Gideros_ImGui\imgui_src\imgui_draw.cpp: (0) && "Could not load font file!"

with that said even if imgui works perfectly with win32 (which would be great), probably there will be other things that prevent me from using the win32 export.

couldn't this help in registering pen button press?

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtabletevent.html :
"New in Qt 5.4: QTabletEvent includes all information available from the device, including QTabletEvent::buttons(). Previously it was not possible to accept all tablet events and also know which stylus buttons were pressed."

keszegh · September 2021

also qt seems to depend on wintab api, so why not use it directly instead?
https://github.com/Wacom-Developer/wacom-device-kit-windows/tree/master/Wintab Pressure Test
would that be too hard to do?

keszegh · September 2021

even more, it seems qt can work with wintab directly or with windows ink, and it is possible to switch between these two options:
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/295623
i think now gideros probably uses windows ink. can we switch or even better add this option somewhere? (in project settings or in api)
my guess is that perhaps wintab version would work better, but of course it needs to be tested.

Trying to fix

But there is a problem.

local lines = {}
local logTF = TextField.new()
logTF:setScale(2)
logTF:setPosition(40, 40)
stage:addChild(logTF)
 
function onMouse(event)
	lines[#lines + 1] = 
		("%s: [%d] [%f, %f]"):format(event.type, event.button, event.x, event.y)
	if (#lines > 15) then 
		table.remove(lines, 1)
	end
	logTF:setText(table.concat(lines, "\n"))
end
 
stage:addEventListener("mouseMove", onMouse)
stage:addEventListener("mouseDown", onMouse)
stage:addEventListener("mouseUp", onMouse)
stage:addEventListener("mouseHover", onMouse)
stage:addEventListener("mouseWheel", onMouse)

On the left - Gideros player, on the right - win32 app.
Only one button works, and no hover event.

No problems for me... ImGui uses gideros files functions to load fonts, so idk about this one. Try to open ur font file like this:

assert(io.open("cour.ttf", "rb") ~= nil, "File not found!")

If it fails then its not ImGui problem

keszegh · September 2021

@rrraptor , your file check failed when i added it to my gui.lua file but works in another lua file. strange. (i still talk about win32 export, from player etc. both work fine)

so any feedback about the above and this other comment, @hgy29?:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtabletevent.html :
"New in Qt 5.4: QTabletEvent includes all information available from the device, including QTabletEvent::buttons(). Previously it was not possible to accept all tablet events and also know which stylus buttons were pressed."

i still hope that i can have pressure sensitivity AND right-click.

hgy29 · September 2021

I already committed a patch for the buttons to GitHub, but I moved to another topic: I am busy trying to make Gideros work on Oculus quest.

keszegh · September 2021

@hgy29 , sounds intriguing, although i did not enjoy that much the resolution of these oculus things. also it kept felling off from my face for some reason.

all in all if wacoms will work well with gideros i will be really happy, thank a lot.

keszegh · September 2021

on the other hand some linux export would be pretty cool too.

There is a Linux port of Gideros, but you have to build it yourself. And it is a Debian build, which seem to fail to build/run on a few other distros such as ArchLinux. This cross-distro incompatibilities are the major drawback with Linux. There are a few tools that could help (docker, flatpak) but they don't seem to be suited to gideros or I didn't understand how to package gideros dependencies, basically Qt

keszegh · September 2021

@hgy29 , i still don't understand completely, if i could build gideros on debian then running that from there i could export my app to debian as well? what would i choose in the export window?

on another note it would be great to have a new version of gideros released soon so that i can test the tablet fix and that i could export also to mac with the new imgui additions (now i use the beta dll's provided by @rrraptor ).

thanks for all the hard work.

hgy29 · October 2021

Well the export option for Linux isn't shown yet, because there is nothing official, so that won't work out of the box, but you could check with the player if the linux port suits your need

i see, the player will at least work and then we can proceed to the next step.
sounds good, if only i had the linux machine set up and mostly the time to learn this build process (i remember failing with that on windows already).

but i will keep note for the future, it's good to know that it should work if needs be, thanks.

saeys · October 2021

Hey, want to install 2021.9 on a mac, but the .pkg will not open "because Apple cannot check it for malware" "Contact the developer for more information" May or may not be a Gideros issue, but please point me to the right direction...

(Same kind of warning when installing on Win10, but there I can bypass it.)

SinisterSoft · October 2021

@saeys I had a similar problem with one of my programs I wrote. I gathered some instructions here - just apply the same methods to opening Gideros:

The plan was to build it this week, but I keep adding/fixing things regarding Oculus support. I am getting there though, and all in all Oculus will be beta so I'll build a 2021.10 with the current state by the end of the week. Today if I can.
