[Solved] Problem switching between multiple QGLWidgets

FreddeB

Hello,

I have made a small test application to try to figure out how to solve a problem when using two individual GLWidgets sharing the same rendering context.

I have realized that the best solution when working with multiple glwidgets is to let the glwidgets share the same rendering context through the constructor of QGLWidget otherwise I normally get an exception and the debug output "QGLBuffer::bind: buffer is not valid in the current context"

In the test I have put two glwidgets together in the main window where I try to add two different models to the glwidgets, one for each widget.

My problem:

I have successfully managed to set up the glwidgets and let them share the context but the two glwidgets are showing the same model even if I try to add a different model for the second glwidget.

Here is the code where I assign the models..

@

QGLSceneNode* sgObject = new QGLSceneNode();
QGLSceneNode* sgObject2 = new QGLSceneNode();

QString modelsDir = QDir::toNativeSeparators(QDir::homePath());
QString filter = tr("Models (%1)").arg(QGLAbstractScene::supportedFormats().join(" "));
QString filename = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open File"), modelsDir, filter);

QGLAbstractScene* m_scene = QGLAbstractScene::loadScene(filename, QString(), QString());


if(!m_scene){
    QMessageBox msgBox;
    msgBox.setText("Problem att öppna modellen");
    msgBox.setDefaultButton(QMessageBox::Ok);
    msgBox.exec&#40;&#41;;
    return;
}


sgObject->addNode(m_scene->mainNode(&#41;&#41;;

QString filename2 = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this, tr("Open File"), modelsDir, filter);

QGLAbstractScene* m_scene2 = QGLAbstractScene::loadScene(filename, QString(), QString());



sgObject2->addNode(m_scene2->mainNode());

ui->widget->SetNode(sgObject);
ui->widget_2->makeCurrent();
ui->widget_2->SetNode(sgObject2);

@

Both widgets show the first model loaded.

Any ideas ? Shall I clear the context in any way before I make the switch ?

My goal is to get a way where I can see the two glwidgets independent of each other.

Best Regards
Fredrik

Found the problem .. I hope though that somebody have use of my example..

The problem is that I forgot to change the variable for the second models filename..
