[platform-swt-dev] Cocoa SWT GLCanvas Event Handling Problems

[Stefan Müller Arisona <sma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As we are on the way to prepare our applications for Eclipse 3.5, we've tried out the Cocoa 64bit builds. As it seems, there is a problem with event handling of GLCanvas: When registering Mouse Listeners to the Canvas, mouse events are not received. The problem seems to be around here (Constructor of GLCanvas.java):

glView = (NSOpenGLView)new NSOpenGLView().alloc();

if (glView == null) {

dispose ();

SWT.error (SWT.ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_DEPTH);

}

glView.initWithFrame(parent.view.bounds(), pixelFormat);

glView.setAutoresizingMask(OS.NSViewWidthSizable | OS.NSViewHeightSizable);

parent.view.addSubview(glView);

Since the glView is added to the parent's view, mouse event still go to the view of GLCanvas (I guess...). I've been able to receive mouse events, when i change the last line to:

view.addSubview(glView)

But then autoresizing isnt working, and I havent been able to find a solution for this so far.
