Multiple windows reading mouse events (Solved)

Scripting Issues
1

Hello all!

I’m trying to create two windows, each of which read mouse data and send mouse events.

The first window does this by default, but the second window

win2 = base.openWindow()

does not. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you dearly :slight_smile:

P.S.

I have tried

base.setupMouse(win2,fMultiWin = True)

this seems to set up the mouse for the window, 2 but disables the mouse for window 1.
I have also attempted to create a MouseWatcher with a ButtonThrower, unfortunately I cannot find too much documentation on either of these classes

Try the following:

from panda3d.core import *
from direct.showbase.ShowBase import ShowBase

class MyApp(ShowBase):

    def __init__(self):

        ShowBase.__init__(self)

        # Setup environment

        self.scene = self.loader.load_model("environment")
        self.scene.reparent_to(self.render)
        self.scene.set_scale(.25)
        self.scene.set_pos(-8., 42., 0.)

        # Open new window and set up input control

        win2 = self.open_window()
        mouse_watcher_node = MouseWatcher("win2")
        region = win2.get_display_region(0)
        mouse_watcher_node.set_display_region(region)
        input_ctrl_node = MouseAndKeyboard(win2, 0, "keyboard_mouse")
        input_ctrl = self.dataRoot.attach_new_node(input_ctrl_node)
        mw = input_ctrl.attach_new_node(mouse_watcher_node)
        btn_thrower_node = ButtonThrower("btn_thrower_win2")
        btn_thrower_node.set_prefix("win2_")
        mw.attach_new_node(btn_thrower_node)
        self.accept("mouse1", lambda: self.__on_left_down(1))
        self.accept("win2_mouse1", lambda: self.__on_left_down(2))

    def __on_left_down(self, window_id):

        print("Left mouse button pressed in window {}!".format(window_id))


app = MyApp()
app.run()

Oh wow thank you!

I guess you needed to create a new MouseAndKeyboard Node as well… I suppose that makes sense.

Cheers!
