Problem with GLWidget in other controls
Posted Sunday, 19 September, 2010 - 20:46 by alanb inHi,
I asked about this a while ago but no replies, then I was using opensuse 11.3. I just tried again on a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04 and monodevelop 2.4 from badgerports. Again problem persists. I compile and run example GLWidgetTest + added code to change window background. Then cut widget add a vbox and paste glwidget in centre pane and still runs ok. Now place label (or anything) in vbox top pane and program crashes with report attached below. When I remove the label runs ok again!!! Same problem if label in pane following glwidget in hbox.
So can anyone help me and suggest where to start looking or what to alter? I have been holding off doing the 3D bit of my code for a while now but am getting to the point where I really need to use opengl on a GTK mono project and I would like to use opentk anf glWidget embedded in another control if at all possible. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Code to change color is
protected virtual void OnGlwidget1RenderFrame (object sender, System.EventArgs e) { int width = 0, height = 0; glwidget1.GdkWindow.GetSize(out width, out height); GL.Viewport(0, 0, width, height); GL.ClearColor(1.0f,0.5f,0.5f,1.0f); GL.Clear(ClearBufferMask.ColorBufferBit); }
Thanks
Alan

Re: Problem with GLWidget in other controls
I suggest you send the source code (solution and project) as a compressed file so we can all see the problem you describe.

Re: Problem with GLWidget in other controls
A test case would really help here.
One suggestion: try adding a call to
OpenTK.Toolkit.Init()as the first thing in your Main() method. This will try to initialize X in thread mode, which seems to increase stability.Re: Problem with GLWidget in other controls
Ok,
The project is really just the one taken from JTaltons site on sourceforge but have attached after cleaning it. On my system it compiles and runs ok as is, but fails when a label is added to vbox before or after widget. My references to OpenTk are to opentk-1.0.0-rc1/Binaries/OpenTK/Debug/OpenTK.dll. I downloaded the release candidate and it seemed to build ok in Monodevelop 2.4 with 0 errors and 123 warnings see attached file? Cannot attach my resultant dll for you to test as its too big.

Re: Problem with GLWidget in other controls
Forgot to add,
I can run the supplied examples from within monodevelop see output for simple window below. So I assumed OpenTK.dll was build correctly. Dont know what the vsync failure is.

Re: Problem with GLWidget in other controls
Thanks, I'll try to find out what is going on here.
Re: Problem with GLWidget in other controls
Hi again,
Just downloaded opentk release and compiled and ran examples. Seemed to work ok but gave some error messages for example running Gamewindow simple gave
VSync = True failed, error code: BAD_CONTEXT.
Entering main loop.
but did display. So again tried GLWidget with new opentk libraries but still get problem described above. Is this a fault on my system, or with mono or with opentk??
I really would like to get going with GLWidget but cant. If someone could point me in the right direction I could try to solve it myself.
Thanks
Alan
Re: Problem with GLWidget in other controls
Sorry, I all but forgot about this issue. I do not have first-hand experience with GLWidget, but I think you are missing a call to SwapBuffers(). Try adding this line after GL.Clear():
Also make sure your
OnGlwidget2RenderFramemethod is actually called at runtime (add a breakpoint or print a message to the console just to make sure).If it still doesn't work, please file a bug report and I'll see what I can do.

This will try to initialize X in thread mode, which seems to increase stability.I know this thread is a wee bit old, but I wanted to make mention that this suggestion solved the similar issue I was having using the GLwidget under Linux. It would work, but only if there were no GTK controls, otherwise it would crash. Adding the Toolkit.Init() line fixed it right up.
as an FYI I also had to set the color BPP field to get the Widget to work.
