Windows ¶

Contents

Main Window ¶

class qrenderdoc.MainWindow¶

The main parent window of the application.

ShortcutCallback(QWidget focusWidget)¶

Not a member function - the signature for any ShortcutCallback callbacks.

Parameters: focusWidget (QWidget) – The widget with focus at the time this shortcut was detected. May be None.

BringToFront()¶

Attempts to bring the main window to the front to the user’s focus.

This may not be possible on all OSs, so the function is not guaranteed to succeed.

RegisterShortcut(shortcut, widget, callback)¶

Register a callback for a particular key shortcut.

This creates a managed shortcut. Qt’s shortcut system doesn’t allow specialisation/duplication, so you can’t use Ctrl+S for a shortcut in a window to update some changes if there’s also a global Ctrl+S shortcut on the window. In the end, neither shortcut will be called.

Instead this function allows the main window to manage shortcuts internally, and it will pick the closest shortcut to a given action. The search goes from the widget with the focus currently up the chain of parents, with the first match being used. If no matches are found, then a ‘global’ default will be invoked, if it exists.

Parameters

shortcut# (str) – The text string representing the shortcut, e.g. ‘Ctrl+S’.
widget# (QWidget) – A handle to the widget to use as the context for this shortcut, or None for a global shortcut. Note that if an existing global shortcut exists the new one will not be registered.
callback# (ShortcutCallback) – The function to callback when the shortcut is hit.

UnregisterShortcut(shortcut, widget)¶

Unregister a callback for a particular key shortcut, made in a previous call to RegisterShortcut().

See the documentation for RegisterShortcut() for what these shortcuts are for.

Parameters

shortcut# (str) – The text string representing the shortcut, e.g. ‘Ctrl+S’. To unregister all shortcuts for a particular widget, you can pass an empty string here. In this case, UnregisterShortcut.widget must not be None.
widget# (QWidget) – A handle to the widget used as the context for the shortcut, or None if referring to a global shortcut.

Widget()¶

Retrieves the PySide2 QWidget for this MainWindow if PySide2 is available, or otherwise returns a unique opaque pointer that can be passed back to any RenderDoc functions expecting a QWidget.

Returns: Return the widget handle, either a PySide2 handle or an opaque handle.
Return type: QWidget

Event Browser ¶

class qrenderdoc.EventBrowser¶

EventFilterCallback(context, filter, params, eventId, chunk, action, name)¶

Not a member function - the signature for any EventFilterCallback callbacks.

Called for each event in a capture when performing filtering in the Event Browser. The associated FilterParseCallback will be called first to parse the parameters, and is available for caching or syntax checking. The same filter name and params string will be passed to this function.

Parameters

context (CaptureContext) – The current capture context.
filter (str) – The name of the filter function.
params (str) – The parameters to the filter function.
eventId (int) – The event’s eventId.
chunk (renderdoc.SDChunk) – The structured data chunk for this event.
action (renderdoc.ActionDescription) – The action that contains this event. If the event is the action itself then the event ID will be equal.
name (str) – The name of the event as shown in the event browser, for string-based filtering.

Returns

Whether or not this event matches the filter

Return type

bool

FilterParseCallback(context, filter, params)¶

Not a member function - the signature for any FilterParseCallback callbacks.

Called once when the filter changes, to allow parsing any any data caching, as well as reporting of errors in the filter usage.

Parameters

context (CaptureContext) – The current capture context.
filter (str) – The name of the filter function.
params (str) – The parameters to the filter function.

Returns

An empty string if the parse succeeded, otherwise any error messages to be displayed to the user, such as syntax or other errors.

Return type

str

AutoCompleteCallback(context, filter, params)¶

Not a member function - the signature for any AutoCompleteCallback callbacks.

Called when autocompletion is triggered inside a filter. The params passed are any previous text inside the filter’s parameter list up to where the cursor is. The callback should return a list of identifiers used for auto-completion.

The list does not have to be pre-filtered for matches to the params, that is provided to allow different autocompletion at different stages (e.g. if there are no parameters, you can autocomplete a property, if a property is already present you can autocomplete valid values for it)

Parameters

context (CaptureContext) – The current capture context.
filter (str) – The name of the filter function.
params (str) – The previous parameter text to the filter function.

Returns

A list of strings giving identifiers to autocomplete, or an empty list of there are no such identifiers to prompt.

Return type

List[str]

GetAPIEventForEID(eventId)¶

Uses the existing caching in the event browser to return a APIEvent for a specified EID.

If no capture is loaded or the EID doesn’t correspond to a known event, an empty struct will be returned.

Parameters: eventId# (int) – The EID to look up.
Returns: The event corresponding to the EID, or an empty struct if no such EID exists.
Return type: renderdoc.APIEvent

GetActionForEID(eventId)¶

Uses the existing caching in the event browser to return a ActionDescription for a specified EID. This action may not be the exact EID specified, but it will be the action that the EID is associated with. I.e. if you specify the EID for a state setting event the next action will be returned.

If no capture is loaded or the EID doesn’t correspond to a known event, None will be returned.

Parameters: eventId# (int) – The EID to look up.
Returns: The action containing the EID, or None if no such EID exists.
Return type: renderdoc.ActionDescription

If no capture is loaded or the EID doesn’t correspond to a known event, an empty string will be returned.

Parameters: eventId# (int) – The EID to look up.
Returns: The formatted name of the specified event, or None if no such EID exists.
Return type: str

IsAPIEventVisible(eventId)¶

Determines if a given EID is visible with the current filters applied to the event browser.

If no capture is loaded or the EID doesn’t correspond to a known event, False will be returned.

Parameters: eventId# (int) – The EID to look up.
Returns: Whether or not the event is currently visible (passing the filters).
Return type: bool

RegisterEventFilterFunction(name, description, filter, parser, completer)¶

Registers a new event browser filter function.

Filter functions are available as $name() so long as they don’t shadow an existing function. The filter callback will be called for each event to filter.

The parser callback will be called once when a filter is first specified or the parameters change. Note that a filter can be used multiple times in a filter expression! For this reason the parser may be called multiple times and the filter callback takes the parameters string. If any expensive work is done then the parameters can be used as a cache key to cache any data once per filter expression.

Parameters

name# (str) – The name of the filter function.
description# (str) – The description of the filter function. This should explain the available parameters (if applicable) and what the filter does. It will be used for documenting to users what each filter means.
filter# (EventFilterCallback) – The callback to call for each candidate event to perform filtering.
parser# (FilterParseCallback) – The callback to call when the parsing the parameters and checking for any errors. This can be None if no pre-parsing is required.
completer# (AutoCompleteCallback) – The callback to call when trying to provide autocomplete suggestions. This can be None if no completion is desired/applicable.

Returns

Whether or not the registration was successful.

Return type

bool
