Windows firing GLAutoDrawable.display() events?

Hey guys,

When in windowed mode, if i drag and drop my window it seems like my GLAutoDrawable.display() is getting fired. Is this expected behavior, and is there any way i can prevent this from happening?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi

Maybe look at setIgnoreRepaint(true).

I probably should i mentioned i'm using the NEWT GLWindow. I don't see that method in glWindow, is there something with similar effect that i can use for glWindow?

There is no such method for NEWT.

this is the expected behavior, since the native windowing system
sends 'repaint' and we don't hold a copy of the window content.

if you animate something etc, you cannot rely on sequence of frames,
but only on time itself.

My main problem is that I am running a multithreaded client/server game, and its not safe to call display at random times. I guess i just have to manually detect and ignore the native windowing system repaints? is a setIgnoreRepaint() method in the works for NEWT?

Well, actually the GLAutoDrawables supress calling 'display()' if they
have an GLAnimatorControl set via setAnimator(GLAnimatorControl) and it's
animating.
This is true for NEWT's GLWindow impl. of windowRepaint(),
GLCanvas paint() method and GLJPanel.
This was indeed introduced to not disturb fluent rendering with window updates.

I assume you don't use one of our animator's ..
If you need to use your own, feel free to impl. GLAnimatorCtrl and attach
it to your GLAutoDrawable of your choice.

Interesting, I will give this a try.

Thanks
