I didn't enable a whole bunch of functions.

but meh.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-sudoku/?source=dlp

works on the oldest KT thru to the newest PW1.

sudoku.

Enjoy.


(for Brian)

patch. (this is for DEVELOPERS to see what code changes were made) not required, nor exciting...

[brianinmaine]

Thank you, sir! Again.

[twobob]

welcome mate.

[brianinmaine]

did you write the toggle_keyboard() function or where is that from?

I also like the sizing part - SET_SIZE - you made it so its just enough to still show the keyboard. So did you did try matchbox-keyboard also? Then you could have a special layout for just the few buttons you need, right? numbers, backspace, and enter?

Amazing. Yup.

[twobob]

i did try that and in fact have all the work to enable it. the save/open filefilechoosers however were a real PITA to handle tidily. and the layout got really ugly. so I nerfed them for now. the toggle keyboards is/was bafs. most of the time on this was deciding what could be easily ported. much could be reimplemented and indeed I left several stubs in the patch to help that along... glad you like it.

The puzzles dialogs were also very troublesome and I just disabled them also. Not worth the effort IMO. I really was trying, just not able to get my head all the way around the sizing and keyboard stuff. Oh, well. A little more effort maybe, then onto other fun stuff. This IS supposed to be fun, right?

[twobob]

right.

You could also try something like this, using my openlipc.h:

#include <openlipc.h>

int is_keyboard_visible(){
     char publisher[]="com.lab126.keyboard";
     char property[]="show";
     int ivalue, lipc_handle, lipc_error;
     lipc_handle = LipcOpenNoName();
     if (!lipc_handle) {
       return -1;
     }
     lipc_error = LipcGetIntProperty(lipc_handle, publisher, property, &ivalue);
     LipcClose(lipc_handle);
     if (lipc_error) {
       return -1;
     }
     return ivalue;
}

int open_keyboard(){
     int lipc_handle, lipc_error;
     char publisher[]="com.lab126.keyboard";
     char property[]="open";
     char value[100];
     int p = getpid();
     snprintf(value, sizeof value, "com.lab126.gtkInputMethod%d:abc:0", p);
     lipc_handle = LipcOpenNoName();
     if (!lipc_handle) {
       return FALSE;
     }
     lipc_error = LipcSetStringProperty(lipc_handle, publisher, property, value);
     LipcClose(lipc_handle);
     if (lipc_error) {
       return FALSE;
     }
     return TRUE;
}

int close_keyboard(){
     int lipc_handle, lipc_error;
     char publisher[]="com.lab126.keyboard";
     char property[]="close";
     char value[100];
     int p = getpid();
     snprintf(value, sizeof value, "com.lab126.gtkInputMethod%d", p);
     lipc_handle = LipcOpenNoName();
     if (!lipc_handle) {
       return FALSE;
     }
     lipc_error = LipcSetStringProperty(lipc_handle, publisher, property, value);
     LipcClose(lipc_handle);
     if (lipc_error) {
       return FALSE;
     }
     return TRUE;
}

void toggle_keyboard() {
     if (is_keyboard_visible()) {
       close_keyboard();
     } else {
       open_keyboard();
     }
}

BTW you need to include gtkInputMethod+pid in the keyboard name only if there is a chance that keyboard was opened automatically by system. If you control keyboard only from your app you may choose whatever name you want.

Thanks mate. I was absolutely thinking about having a go with your open lipc when I did that, you read my mind.

However the majorly annoying filechooser's once again soaked up far too much of my time so I ended up with the "low calorie" solution above. (The filechoosers were visually buggy on the lowest KT version)

This is an excellent example, thanks very much, and I will either weld it back into this later or into the next thing for sure.
