[SOLVED] Castle Game Engine. Multi Window.
« on: September 23, 2020, 09:08:03 pm »
Hello!

I have a problem.

It's my first expirience using Castle Game Engine.

I try show few windows with TCastleControlBase component.
I have main form with button, after click button i create form, the TCastleControlBase located at second form.
Second form also contains FImage := TDrawableImage.Create('castle-data:/tux_walking.png');
After click to button in main window. First created window show image, when a try show second window i have a problem.

Where i wrong?

По опыту работы с OpenGL, я бы не советовал использовать два окна OpenGL. Это несёт с собой потерю производительности и увеличение на использование ресурсов видеокарты.

from experience with OpenGL, i do not recommend using two windows OpenGL. This brings with it a loss in performance and an increase in the use of video card resources.

I understand. But trying to quickly solve a small task using multiple windows, i saw this problem.

Can you be more specific about your problem?

It is possible to use 2 OpenGL contexts, though it is important to load textures in the right context. For a component that would be in for example in its Paint event. You need to load the textures twice if you want to display them in both context. So as Seenkao alluded to, it will take more VRAM to do so.

Fixed in CGE in https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/commit/b6d66e9a753585065f4b554996c41ee2bd8b88aa :) It was a cool team effort on CGE Discord , thanks to which we nailed down the problem quickly.
