method Win32Window::setVisible

[cf]

Hi,

I would propose to add an implementation of RenderWindow::setVisible(bool) to Win32Window:

void Win32Window::setVisible(bool visible)
{
ShowWindow(getWindowHandle(), (visible ? SW_SHOW : SW_HIDE));
}

I added that function to RenderSystem_GL in order to write a windows MDI
application. I need to keep an auto-created RenderWindow around for sharing GL state between contexts on different windows.

Thanks,
cf

And this is the linux version:

Code: Select all

Display *glxDisplay = 0;
Window glxWid;
renderWindow->getCustomAttribute("DISPLAY", &glxDisplay);
renderWindow->getCustomAttribute("WINDOW", &glxWid);

if (glxDisplay)
{
   if (show)
      XMapWindow(glxDisplay, glxWid);
   else
      XUnmapWindow(glxDisplay, glxWid);
}

Just wondering why trivial functions like setVisible() and setActive() are empty?

Generally for external window control we tend to recommend creating your own windows and using externalWindowHandle / parentWindowHandle.

Please submit as a patch if you'd like it included, things get easily buried here in the forum.
