Window of OpenTK

This guide explains how to use Window property of TizenGameApplication class. Window is internally created in OnCreate() method of the base class.

Window defines many events including input event, window related event, and render related event. You can add the event handlers of these events, if needed.

Input event

Suppose your application wants to execute some operations while a user is inputting text with a keyboard or selecting menu with a mouse. You can implement such a use case by adding input event handlers for key or mouse event using Window of OpenTK. For example, if your device supports remote controller, you can use key event. If your device supports mouse, you can use mouse event.

The following code snippet shows how to add mouse and key event handlers:

                
C#
                

                    
Copy
                    

                
            
private IGameWindow mainWindow;

protected override void OnCreate()
{
    mainWindow = Window;

    mainWindow.MouseMove += MouseMoveEventHandler;    // add event handler on mouse move event
    mainWindow.KeyDown += KeyDownEventHandler;        // add event handler on key down event
}

private void MouseMoveEventHandler(object sender, MouseMoveEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Mouse[MouseButton.Left])      // get mouse move event which happening with click left button of mouse
    {
        float x = (float)(e.XDelta);    // the move distance in x-axis
        float y = (float)(e.YDelta);    // the move distance in y-axis
        // do your action
    }

    if (e.Mouse[MouseButton.Right])     // get mouse move event which happening with click right button of mouse
    {
        float x = (float)(e.XDelta);    // the move distance in x-axis
        float y = (float)(e.YDelta);    // the move distance in y-axis
        // do your action
    }
}

private void KeyDownEventHandler(object sender, KeyboardKeyEventArgs e)
{
    switch(e.Key)
    {
        case Key.Right:                 // press right key
            // do your action
            break;
        case Key.Left:                  // press left key
            // do your action
            break;
        case Key.Up:                    // press up key
            // do your action
            break;
        case Key.Down:                  // press down key
            // do your action
            break;
        case Key.Number0:               // press number 0 key
            // do your action
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
}

Window related event

Window supports some window state related events, such as Closed, Closing, FocusedChanged, Resize, VisibleChanged, WindowStateChanged, and so on.

When the state of Window is changed, you can activate some actions by adding your event handlers.

The following code snippet shows adding a resize event handler:

                
C#
                

                    
Copy
                    

                
            
private IGameWindow mainWindow;

protected override void OnCreate()
{
    mainWindow = Window;

    mainWindow.Resize += ResizeEventHandler;    // add event handler on window resize event
}

private void ResizeEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // do your action
}

Render related event

Window also supports these render related events:

• RenderFrame: Occurs when a frame is rendered.
• UpdateFrame: Occurs when a frame is updated before RenderFrame event occurs.

These events repeatedly occur while the main loop of OpenTK is running.

You can add these events handlers as follows:

                
C#
                

                    
Copy
                    

                
            
private IGameWindow mainWindow;

protected override void OnCreate()
{
    mainWindow = Window;

    mainWindow.UpdateFrame += OnUpdateFrame;    // add event handler on update frame event
    mainWindow.RenderFrame += OnRenderFrame;    // add event handler on render frame event
}

private void OnUpdateFrame(Object sender, FrameEventArgs e)
{
    // do actions before render frame if you need
}

private void OnRenderFrame(Object sender, FrameEventArgs e)
{
    // draw your content here

    GL.Viewport(0, 0, mainWindow.Width, mainWindow.Height);
    GL.ClearColor(Color4.White);
    GL.Clear(ClearBufferMask.ColorBufferBit | ClearBufferMask.DepthBufferBit);
    // draw your content ...
    GL.DrawArrays();
    GL.Finish();
    mainWindow.SwapBuffers();
}
