This PR implements native window dragging functionality for macOS users in the JSAR runtime examples with a configurable drag region height and perfect 1:1 mouse-window movement alignment.

Key Features

Configurable Drag Region: The drag region height can be customized via the dragRegionHeight member variable (default: 25px) or the setDragRegionHeight(int height) method, allowing users to adjust the drag area to their preferences.

Perfect Mouse-Window Alignment: Ensures exact 1:1 mapping between mouse movement and window movement using a fixed offset calculation. The window maintains a consistent offset from the mouse cursor throughout the entire drag operation, eliminating any drift or misalignment that could occur with delta-based approaches.

Seamless Dragging Experience: Window dragging continues smoothly even when the cursor moves outside the window boundaries during fast movements, ensuring uninterrupted dragging until mouse button release.

Runtime Configuration: Users can modify the drag region height at runtime to suit different UI layouts or personal preferences.

Non-Interfering: All existing UI interactions work normally outside the drag region, ensuring backward compatibility.

Platform-Specific: Implementation is macOS-only using #ifdef __APPLE__ guards, with no impact on other platforms.

Implementation Details

Perfect Alignment Engine:

  • Fixed offset calculation that maintains constant mouse-to-window relationship
  • Eliminates drift and ensures precise 1:1 movement mapping
  • Immediate response with no delay between cursor and window movement
  • Consistent positioning regardless of dragging speed or duration

Configurable WindowContext Integration:

  • Added dragRegionHeight member variable to WindowContext class (default: 25px)
  • Added setDragRegionHeight(int height) public method for runtime configuration
  • Enhanced mouse event handlers for responsive dragging behavior
  • Proper initialization in both constructors

macOS Window Functions (macos_window.mm):

  • startWindowDragging() - Calculates and stores the fixed mouse-to-window offset
  • updateWindowDragging() - Positions window using current mouse location plus fixed offset
  • stopWindowDragging() - Cleanly ends the dragging operation
  • isMouseInDragRegion() - Detects if mouse is within the configurable drag area

Usage Example

WindowContext ctx(800, 600);
ctx.setDragRegionHeight(60); // Set custom 60px drag region
// Or access directly: ctx.dragRegionHeight = 30;

Technical Improvements

  • Perfect Mouse Tracking: Fixed offset approach ensures mouse and window move exactly the same distance
  • Continuous Dragging: Maintains dragging state even when cursor moves outside window bounds
  • Zero Drift: Eliminates accumulation errors that can occur with delta-based movement
  • Immediate Response: Direct positioning provides instant feedback without lag

Fixes #179.

Made the drag region height configurable. Added dragRegionHeight member variable (default: 40px) and setDragRegionHeight() method for runtime configuration. The hardcoded 40px value is now replaced with a configurable parameter. Commit: 0247d72

快速上下拖拽时,会出现两个问题:

  1. 光标和窗口有延迟,会导致光标可能跳出窗口
  2. 当光标跳出窗口,就无法拖动,但此时用户并没有去掉拖拽操作(没有 Release 鼠标左键)

因此,你需要作出如下修改:

  1. 尽量保证光标和窗口的拖动不要有延时
  2. 当用户没有去掉拖拽操作,就需要继续更新窗口位置,判断光标位置是否在拖拽区域,仅针对拖拽开始的时候

// Initialize dragging state
isDraggingWindow = false;
leftMousePressed = false;
dragRegionHeight = 40; // Default to 40 pixels

  1. 光标和窗口有延迟,会导致光标可能跳出窗口
    ...

I've improved the macOS window dragging implementation to address both issues:

  1. Eliminated cursor-window delay: Changed to delta-based positioning that tracks relative mouse movement instead of absolute positioning, providing immediate response.

  2. Continue dragging outside window: Moved dragging check to top of handleCursorMove() and skip bounds checking when dragging is active, so dragging continues regardless of cursor position until mouse release.

Key improvements:

  • Use incremental delta movement for smoother, more responsive positioning
  • Prioritize window dragging over normal cursor bounds checking
  • Track last mouse position to calculate precise movement increments
  • Only update window position when actual movement occurs

Fixed the mouse-window distance alignment issue. Replaced the delta-based movement approach with a fixed offset calculation that ensures perfect 1:1 mapping between mouse movement and window movement. The window now maintains a consistent offset from the mouse cursor throughout the entire drag operation, eliminating any drift or misalignment. Commit: 59ed508
