Is Windows GTK version compatible? - compatibility

I just upgraded GTK version from 2.10.11 to 2.24.10. I found that my codes that run well in GTK 2.10.11 failed in that of 2.24.10. The environment is exactly same except the GTK version:
MinGW + MSYS in Windows. The gcc version is 4.7.2.
The latest GTK2 Windows version is downloaded from the GTK official web site.
Followed is a small code. In GTK 2.24.10, when switching pages, the entry in each page is gray or to say "insensitive". But it worked well in 2.10.11 -- the entry is editable. So, is Windows GTK version compatible?
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
gint main (gint argc, gchar *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *window, *notebook, *entry, *title;
gtk_init (&argc, &argv);
window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
g_signal_connect (window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_destroy), window);
notebook = gtk_notebook_new ();
gtk_notebook_set_tab_pos (GTK_NOTEBOOK (notebook), GTK_POS_TOP);
entry = gtk_entry_new ();
gtk_entry_set_text (GTK_ENTRY (entry), "123");
title = gtk_label_new ("foo");
gtk_notebook_append_page (GTK_NOTEBOOK (notebook), entry, title);
entry = gtk_entry_new ();
gtk_entry_set_text (GTK_ENTRY (entry), "456");
title = gtk_label_new ("bar");
gtk_notebook_append_page (GTK_NOTEBOOK (notebook), entry, title);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window), notebook);
gtk_window_set_default_size (GTK_WINDOW (window), 400, 400);
gtk_widget_show_all (window);
gtk_main ();
return 0;
}
EDIT:
I think the latest gtk win32 version -- 2.24.10 has bugs. Just run gtk-demo, then push the tab Source, then go back to the tab Info, then the tab Info turns grey and you can't see the contents in the tab. But this doesn't occur in the version 2.22.1. Maybe I should report the bug to GTK but I don't know if it is a bug or I miss something.

Qt3D qSceneLoader error when try to load .gltf

I try to load gltf by using qSceneLoader
auto sceneObject = new Qt3DRender::QSceneLoader();
sceneObject->setSource(QUrl::fromLocalFile("3D/test.gltf"));
auto sceneTransform = new Qt3DCore::QTransform();
sceneTransform->setTranslation(QVector3D(12.0f, 7.0f, 0.0f));
auto sceneEntity = new Qt3DCore::QEntity(this->rootEntity);
sceneEntity->addComponent(sceneObject);
sceneEntity->addComponent(sceneTransform);
But it gives
Qt3D.GLTFImport: no default scene
Qt3D.Renderer.SceneLoaders: class Qt3DCore::QEntity *__cdecl Qt3DRender::Render::LoadSceneJob::tryLoadScene(class Qt3DRender::Render::Scene *,enum Qt3DRender::QSceneLoader::Status &,const class QStringList &,const class std::function<void __cdecl(class Qt3DRender::QSceneImporter *)> &) Failed to import QUrl("file:3D/test.gltf") with errors ()
This doesn't crash all program but object doesn't appear.
How can I fix it?
If I understood rightly - current version of Qt3D supports only gltf1.0 when blender, which I used for making 3d model exports only to gltf2.0. Using another formats have another issue under windows - qt 5.12.5 on this platform comes without assimp plugins(bug in the installer: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-75145), so it needs to install newer version for using such stuff.

Python 3.8.0a3 failed to get the Python codec of the filesystem encoding

When I call the embedded python from my c++ app, the application crashes. Something in _PyCodec_Lookup is not working. Debugging seems to indicate the error comes from this line in file codecs.c:
PyInterpreterState *interp = _PyInterpreterState_GET_UNSAFE();
if (interp->codec_search_path == NULL && _PyCodecRegistry_Init())
goto onError;
interp->codec_search_path is NULL and _PyCodecRegistry_Init() returns -1.
This problems is already known; Solutions like removing python27, or setting environment variables PYTHONPATH or PYTHONHOME to either "" or the src path do not work.
I link to cpython version 3.8.0a3 which I've compiled with the included scripts inside the PCBUILD folder, using the same compiler as my applications (MSVC 15 2017).
The OS is windows 8.1 64 bit.
My application links to the produced binary python38.dll / python38.lib successfully but then crashes at runtime, and I have no idea what might cause the trouble - people suggest the environment is polluted, but it must not depend on the system's environment. How would I confidently ship the app to other people's computers? Did I maybe miss some compile flags or defines?
I'm sure you are, but you are doing this after Py_Initialize ?
I include the python3.8 dll but when starting up I take the executable full
path and then add that to the python path (the code below is not tested but
it's roughly what I do)
void py_add_to_path (const char *path)
{
PyObject *py_cur_path, *py_item;
char *new_path;
int wc_len, i;
wchar_t *wc_new_path;
char *item;
new_path = strdup(path);
py_cur_path = PySys_GetObject("path");
for (i = 0; i < PyList_Size(py_cur_path); i++) {
char *tmp = strappend(new_path, PATHSEP);
myfree(new_path);
new_path = tmp;
py_item = PyList_GetItem(py_cur_path, i);
if (!PyUnicode_Check(py_item)) {
continue;
}
item = py_obj_to_str(py_item);
if (!item) {
continue;
}
tmp = strappend(new_path, item);
free(new_path);
new_path = tmp;
free(item);
}
/* Convert to wide chars. */
wc_len = sizeof(wchar_t) * (strlen(new_path) + 1);
wc_new_path = (wchar_t *) malloc(wc_len, "wchar str");
mbstowcs(wc_new_path, new_path, wc_len);
PySys_SetPath(wc_new_path);
}
Seems a bit old now but looks like there is need to add the Lib folder including all the python system files to the search paths of the application.
Take a look at this Python port for UWP
It has an embedded python34app.zip that includes the codec files.

QT Systray icon appears next to launcher on Ubuntu instead of on the panel

I am new to QT and need to build an app with an app-indicator. As QT seems easier than GTK+, I am making it in QT.
I would mention that I have sni-qt installed and app indicators of vlc and skype appear normal on the panel. I am using QT5 on Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit.
I followed this tutorial step by step: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/desktop-systray.html
But when I run it, here's how it appears (The cross is the icon I am using):
How do I fix this?
I'm afraid that Qt5 is not supported by sni-qt at the moment, so you either have to wait for a new release that will support it, or code it using gtk+ and libappindicator using this guide. There are even examples for various of languages. Since Qt5 also distributes GLib events that makes the integration a lot more easier. First you need to find out whether you're running on Unity or not (to support more desktops than just unity), that you can do by retrieving XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP environment variable and if it returns Unity you create appindicator, otherwise create QSystemTrayIcon.
First you need to include required headers:
#undefine signals
extern "C" {
#include <libappindicator/app-indicator.h>
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
}
#define signals public
Since app-indicator directly uses "signals" name we need to undefine the default Qt "keyword" signals which normally translates to public. Then, since we're coding C++ and libappindicator is coded in C we need to use extern "C" not to use C++ name mangling.
Next create the AppIndicator/QSystemTrayIcon based on what desktop are we on:
QString desktop;
bool is_unity;
desktop = getenv("XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP");
is_unity = (desktop.toLower() == "unity");
if (is_unity) {
AppIndicator *indicator;
GtkWidget *menu, *item;
menu = gtk_menu_new();
item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label("Quit");
gtk_menu_shell_append(GTK_MENU_SHELL(menu), item);
g_signal_connect(item, "activate",
G_CALLBACK(quitIndicator), qApp); // We cannot connect
// gtk signal and qt slot so we need to create proxy
// function later on, we pass qApp pointer as an argument.
// This is useful when we need to call signals on "this"
//object so external function can access current object
gtk_widget_show(item);
indicator = app_indicator_new(
"unique-application-name",
"indicator-messages",
APP_INDICATOR_CATEGORY_APPLICATION_STATUS
);
app_indicator_set_status(indicator, APP_INDICATOR_STATUS_ACTIVE);
app_indicator_set_menu(indicator, GTK_MENU(menu));
} else {
QSystemTrayIcon *icon;
QMenu *m = new QMenu();
m->addAction(tr("Quit"), qApp, SLOT(quit()));
}
Finally we create the proxy function to call Qt signal from it, to declare the function we need to use extern "C" so there will not be any undefined behaviour.
extern "C" {
void quitIndicator(GtkMenu *, gpointer);
}
Now the proxy function:
void quitIndicator(GtkMenu *menu, gpointer data) {
Q_UNUSED(menu);
QApplication *self = static_cast<QApplication *>(data);
self->quit();
}
Just wanted to add, for anyone that is using Qt and trying to show a app indicator in Ubuntu 13+ as others have mentioned sni-qt is not working, I was able to use the above reply to make a Qt app that works, still trying to get the icon to change and show popup messages, but this is a great start, once i get the icon and message to work i might post it out on my site Voidrealms.com:
Be sure to do sudo apt-get install libappindicator-dev

Qt 4.7.4: Is there a way to find out the status of CAPS LOCK?

I know there were earlier problems with this in < 4.7.4 Qt versions. has this been resolved?
I don't know any Qt solution.
However this code should work on both windows (not tested) and x11-based os (works on linux)
#include <X11/XKBlib.h>
#include <QX11Info>
bool capsOn()
{
#ifdef Q_WS_WIN // MS Windows version
return GetKeyState(VK_CAPITAL) == 1;
#elif Q_WS_X11 // X11 version
unsigned int n = 0;
Display *d = QX11Info::display();
XkbGetIndicatorState(d, XkbUseCoreKbd, &n);
return (n & 0x01) == 1;
#else
# error Platform not supported
#endif
}
On X11 don't forget to add -lX11 to LIBS in your qmake project file.
I don't exactly know how to do this on OS X. If you need it, take a look at IOHIKeyboard and its's alphaLock() function. Also check this, especially the function darwinQueryHIDModifiers.

Qt support for VNC

i want to test whether qt is supporting VNC or not. For that i have written a small layout program using Qt library.
the source code for the layout program is as follows:
layout.cpp
#include <QApplication>
#include <QHBoxLayout>
#include <QSlider>
#include <QSpinBox>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
QWidget *window = new QWidget;
window->setWindowTitle("Enter The Age of the person");
QSpinBox *spinBox = new QSpinBox;
QSlider *slider = new QSlider(Qt::Horizontal);
spinBox->setRange(0, 130);
slider->setRange(0, 130);
QObject::connect(spinBox, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)),
slider, SLOT(setValue(int)));
QObject::connect(slider, SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)),
spinBox, SLOT(setValue(int)));
spinBox->setValue(35);
QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout;
layout->addWidget(spinBox);
layout->addWidget(slider);
window->setLayout(layout);
window->show();
return app.exec();
}
i want to run this as server application on my linux PC.For that what i configured Qt and installed like this.
./configure -qt-gfx-vnc
make
make install
The program is working fine. But if i run the application as VNC server application like
./layout -qws -display VNC:0
i am encountering an error.it says that
"_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for VNC:6000: Temporary failure in name resolution"..
pls help me what i need to do.
Thanks
You did not configure Qt to use QWS, which is what you wanted.
For this reason, it looks like your app is silently ignoring the -qws option, and the -display VNC:0 option is causing it to try to connect to the X11 display number 0 on host VNC, which doesn't exist.
You need to pass the -embedded option when configuring Qt if you want to use QWS.
