Canvas widgets: Difference between revisions

* '''Window Stacking''': New windows always appear on top of older windows. It would be nice to have the possibility to change stacking order (either reorder the windows or use z-buffer with different z-values) The window manager could eg. listen on a special signal property on each window (eg. /sim/gui/canvas/window[i]/raise) which moves the according window to the top of the current window stack. I'd prefer window reordering because it would make checking for a window at a given position very ease, because we'd just have to check for the first match in revers stacking order (from topmost to lowest window).{{Not done}}

* '''[[Canvas Widgets#Picking & Widget_Callbacks|Picking]]''': For mouse handling some kind of picking would be nice. As already mentioned, at least bounding box intersections will be needed.Forward mouse events to canvas elements (trigger onhover, onclick, etc.) The canvas could listen for creation of the signal properties and then add the according region to a list of monitored regions. If the cursor is in one of the regions the property is signaled. {{Progressbar|40}}  

** X11 (For full support we will need to somehow hook into the X11 event queue):
