is this working with glfw (opengl) window?

[SandSt0rm]

i tried getting it to work, but the function "PeekMessage" is getting HWnd which is not GLFW window
is it possible combine two libraries together?

I think you have to get the native window handle with glfwGetWin32Window. You must include glfw3native.h

[SandSt0rm]

yeah thanks it worked!
great

[RicoP]

you are welcome. you can close this ticket i guess.

I'm using GLFW to create a window and want to use gainput for keyboard and joystick events (on multiple platforms). It seems like GLFW is consuming the events and does not propagate them to gainput. Do I need to forward the events somhow.

[RicoP]

That is what I do

# if defined(_WIN32)
  {
    MSG msg;
    HWND hWnd = static_cast<HWND>(s_handle.native);
    while (PeekMessageW(&msg, hWnd, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)) {
      TranslateMessage(&msg);
      //DispatchMessageW will trigger glfwResizeCallback so we don't have to call glfwPollEvents
      DispatchMessageW(&msg);

      // Forward any input messages to Gainput
      s_handle.p_inputManager->HandleMessage(msg);
    }
  }
# elif defined(__linux__)
  {
    XEvent event;
    while (XPending(static_cast<Display *>(s_handle.display))) {
      XNextEvent(static_cast<Display *>(s_handle.display), &event);
      s_handle.p_inputManager->HandleEvent(event);
    }
    glfwPollEvents();
  }
# elif defined(__EMSCRIPTEN__)
  {
    glfwPollEvents();
  }
# elif defined(__APPLE__)
#   error "implement me for iOS"
# else
#   error "unknown OS"
# endif

s_handle.p_inputManager is the gainput input manager

[X52p]

where does s_handle.display and s_handle.native come from?

[RicoP]

inline void * getNativeDisplayType() {
# if BX_PLATFORM_LINUX || BX_PLATFORM_BSD
    return glfwGetX11Display();
# elif BX_PLATFORM_OSX
    return nullptr;
# elif BX_PLATFORM_WINDOWS
    return nullptr;
# elif BX_PLATFORM_EMSCRIPTEN
    return nullptr;
# else
#   error "implement me"
# endif 
}

inline void * getNativeWindowHandle(GLFWwindow* window) {
# if BX_PLATFORM_LINUX || BX_PLATFORM_BSD
    return (void*)(uintptr_t)glfwGetX11Window(window);
# elif BX_PLATFORM_OSX
    return glfwGetCocoaWindow(window);
# elif BX_PLATFORM_WINDOWS
  return glfwGetWin32Window(window);
# elif BX_PLATFORM_EMSCRIPTEN
  return nullptr;
# else
#   error "implement me"
# endif
}

  s_handle.native = getNativeDisplayType();
  s_handle.display = getNativeWindowHandle(window);

[skilled-solutions]

I use the following approach:

XEvent event;
while (XPending(static_cast<Display *>(glfwGetX11Display()))) {
	XNextEvent(static_cast<Display *>(glfwGetX11Display()), &event);
	if (event.type<5&&event.type>1)
		manager.HandleEvent(event);
}
manager.Update();
glfwPollEvents();

But now my program is hanging and "Not responding". I think HandleEvent is consuming my Events. I tried also to filter the events but thats not enough. Maybe some advise from the creator himself?
