Overview
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The protocol is a line based protocol following this simple syntax:
|
|
|
|
OPERATION[,ARG1[,ARG2,[...]]]
|
|
|
|
The goal is to have a generic protocol that can be used for other display
|
|
systems (e.g. VNC) as well.
|
|
|
|
One line may not exceed 1024 bytes, including newline.
|
|
|
|
The protocol has no concept of hidden or unmapped windows. A window does not
|
|
exist unless it is visible. Note that a minimized window is an exception to
|
|
this rule.
|
|
|
|
Data types
|
|
==========
|
|
Window ID are written in hex, like 0x4321.
|
|
|
|
Window positions can be negative. This happens when a window is moved
|
|
outside the desktop.
|
|
|
|
All integers fit inside 32 bits.
|
|
|
|
Strings are sent in UTF-8 and do not contain any characters less than 0x20 or
|
|
the character , (comma).
|
|
|
|
Server to Client Operations
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
CREATE
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Allocate structures for a new window.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
CREATE,<ID>,<PARENT>,<FLAGS>
|
|
|
|
Indicates that a window has appeared on the server. If PARENT is non-zero then
|
|
the new window is a child of that window (it's transient for it). The special
|
|
value 0xFFFFFFFF for PARENT means that the window is a popup window without a
|
|
parent. It's commonly used for splash screens, tool tips and context menus.
|
|
|
|
Note that very little information is included in this message. Things like
|
|
title and state will come in subsequent messages. This message should only
|
|
be used to allocate data structures for the new window.
|
|
|
|
DESTROY
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Remove a window.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
DESTROY,<ID>,<FLAGS>
|
|
|
|
Remove the window and deallocate all associated structures.
|
|
|
|
POSITION
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Move and/or resize a window.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
POSITION,<ID>,<X>,<Y>,<WIDTH>,<HEIGHT>,<FLAGS>
|
|
|
|
If the window isn't visible yet (because a
|
|
STATE hasn't been set or because it's minimized), you must store the position
|
|
and size. A new POSITION is not guaranteed to be sent when the window changes
|
|
state.
|
|
|
|
TITLE
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Sets a window title.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
TITLE,<ID>,<TITLE>,<FLAGS>
|
|
|
|
The text is guaranteed to be stripped of control characters (< 0x20).
|
|
|
|
Note that this has the same requirement as POSITION, that the title needs to
|
|
be stored for newly created windows until a STATE is sent. It is however not
|
|
guaranteed that a TITLE will be sent before the first STATE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ZCHANGE
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The window moved in z order.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
ZCHANGE,<ID>,<BEHIND>,<FLAGS>
|
|
|
|
The window with the id ID is behind the window with the id BEHIND. If
|
|
BEHIND is 0, then this window should be brought to the front.
|
|
|
|
STATE
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Changes the window's state and/or title.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
STATE,<ID>,<STATE>,<FLAGS>
|
|
|
|
State can have one of three values:
|
|
0 : "Normal" window.
|
|
1 : Minimized.
|
|
2 : Maximized.
|
|
|
|
The initial STATE for a window will always be preceeded by one CREATE and one
|
|
POSITION. Optionally, a TITLE may also be sent before the first STATE.
|
|
|
|
DEBUG
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Debug output from the server component.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
DEBUG,<STRING>
|
|
|
|
Used for debugging.
|
|
|
|
SYNCBEGIN
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Indicates that a synchronisation has begun.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
SYNCBEGIN,<FLAGS>
|
|
|
|
Sent when the server starts a synchronisation. The client should flush all
|
|
information at this point.
|
|
|
|
SYNCEND
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Indicates that a synchronisation is complete.
|
|
|
|
Syntac:
|
|
SYNCEND,<FLAGS>
|
|
|
|
Sent when the last message that is part of the synchronisation has been sent.
|
|
This may be followed by duplicate messages and/or messages referring invalid
|
|
windows that were queued up during the synchronisation.
|
|
|
|
Client to Server Operations
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
SYNC
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Request a synchronisation of window information.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
SYNC,<FLAGS>
|
|
|
|
For each window, the server will send CREATE, POSITION and STATE, in that
|
|
order, just as if the window was created. Note that a TITLE may also,
|
|
optionally, be sent before the STATE.
|
|
|
|
POSITION
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Identical to the command sent from server to client.
|
|
|
|
TITLE
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Identical to the command sent from server to client.
|
|
|
|
ZCHANGE
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Identical to the command sent from server to client.
|
|
|
|
STATE
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Identical to the command sent from server to client.
|
|
|
|
FOCUS
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Sets which window has input focus.
|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
FOCUS,<ID>,<FLAGS>
|
|
|
|
Changes which window that will recieve the keyboard events. Note that this
|
|
might cause the window to change z order.
|
