Windll missing on Linux... Not working in Linux #13

Closed Dallco closed 1 year ago

Dallco commented 2 years ago

attributeError: module ctypes has no attribute 'windll'

Looks like windows only addon.

Yes, unfortunately, for the moment. If you know how to replace the windll calls with appropriate calls for Linux, then I can merge your code, but I've only recently started to use Linux myself, and I haven't been able to port this addon yet. I'd love to have access to it on Linux as well, maybe once I've got a couple of projects off my plate I can return to this and get Linux (and maybe Mac) functionality working, too. Thanks for the interest, I'll update this thread once I've got a Linux version working.

I've just commented the three ctypes.windll.user32.. lines in the RightMouseNavigation.py out. And it seems to be working. Not sure what these calls were supposed to do. Perhaps something which is not needed on Linux..

Very interesting, I had to call a 'fake' right mouse click because the right mouse release event wasn't being detected, but apparently that's just a Windows issue! Lol, I haven't had a chance to test it out, but at some point I'll update so there's a check for OS and it will only insert the windll calls on Windows. Thanks for the heads up!

Hi Premik and Dallco, I've added a flag that checks the user's OS and only calls the windll on Windows. You're right that Linux doesn't need it, and the addon works fine without it. (It's still a bit of a mystery why it's needed on Windows in the first place TBH). Thanks!
