I’ve seen some plugins that use floating windows and was wondering what’s the best way to do that. What I’m doing now is: 1. Have a button in the inspector to create a floating window, 2. When the button is pressed I create new window (or show if it has already been created) using FxWindowAPI (and store it statically - 1 instance per FCPX process), 3. On each FxOnScreenControl::initWithAPIManager call I update the apiManager pointer linked with the above window (also some static variable per FCPX instance). Is this the right way to do it? The issues I’m having: 1. I need to click the plugin instance in the inspector to actually instantiate the FxOnScreenControl and get the pointer to the apiManager when going over the timeline. Is there a way to fetch it automatically? 2. If I’m using OpenGL within the floating window the performance is compromised by background rendering (I’m using a shared OpenGL context to have access to textures created in FxOnScreenControl). 3. From my tests, looks like temporalApi::getInputTexture doesn’t really work properly, I have to use temporalApi::getInputBitmap, any particular reason behind that? Hope the above makes sense - thanks in advance for any pointers. Tom _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
