Sciter SDK

GLFW is an open-source, multi-platform library designed for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, and Vulkan application development. It provides a platform-independent API for:

• Creating windows, contexts, and surfaces.
• Reading input.
• Handling events.

Supported Platforms:

• Windows: Windows XP and later.
• macOS: macOS 10.8 and later.
• Linux/Unix-like: Supports X11 and Wayland. Works even without a desktop environment, though some features require a running window or clipboard manager.

When using the AppWizard to create a ui-framework application, the project is structured as a standard Win32 VC++ application. The core components include:

• Main Application Logic: ui-framework.cpp serves as the primary source file for the application.
• Project Configuration: ui-framework.vcxproj manages Visual C++ project settings, platforms, and configurations.
• Resource Management:
  • ui-framework.rc: The Microsoft Windows resource file containing icons, bitmaps, and cursors.
  • Resource.h: The header file defining resource IDs used by the application.
  • ui-framework.ico and small.ico: The application's icon files (32x32 and 16x16 respectively).
• Precompiled Headers: StdAfx.h and StdAfx.cpp are used to manage precompiled header (PCH) files to improve build times.

Development of this specific repository (Sciter.TIS) has stopped in favor of Sciter.JS.

While this version uses TIScript as the scripting language behind the UI, Sciter.JS uses modern JavaScript (ES2020). If you are starting a new project, it is recommended to use the Sciter.JS SDK instead.

The layered project is a Win32 application generated by the Sciter AppWizard. It follows a standard Visual C++ project structure. Key components include:

• Source Code: layered.cpp is the main application entry point.
• Build Configuration: layered.vcxproj is the main VC++ project file, and layered.vcxproj.filters manages file grouping in the IDE.
• Windows Resources: layered.rc defines the application's resources (icons, bitmaps, cursors), while Resource.h defines the resource IDs used by the system.
• Precompiled Headers: StdAfx.h and StdAfx.cpp are used to manage precompiled headers (layered.pch) to speed up build times.

Note: Look for TODO: comments within the source code to identify areas intended for customization or additional logic.

The sciter-opengl project is a Win32 application generated by the Sciter Application Wizard. It is structured as a standard Visual C++ project.

Key components include:

• sciter-opengl.cpp: The main application source file containing the core logic.
• sciter-opengl.vcxproj: The main Visual C++ project file defining platforms, configurations, and features.
• sciter-opengl.rc & Resource.h: Windows resource files used to manage application icons, bitmaps, and cursors.
• StdAfx.h & StdAfx.cpp: Precompiled header (PCH) files used to accelerate build times.

When customizing the application, look for TODO: comments in the source code to identify areas intended for user implementation.

GLFW requires only the headers and libraries for your specific OS and window system. It does not require headers for context creation APIs (like WGL, GLX, EGL, NSGL, OSMesa) or rendering APIs (OpenGL, OpenGL ES, Vulkan) to enable support for them.

Supported Compilers:

• Windows: Visual C++ 2010 and later, MinGW, and MinGW-w64.
• macOS: Clang.
• Linux/Unix-like: GCC and Clang.

Note on Wayland: If using the experimental Wayland backend on Linux, you must have the extra-cmake-modules package installed to generate Wayland protocol headers.

For detailed instructions, refer to the official compilation guide.

The SQLite3 engine is provided as a Sciter extension library. To use it, you must link the source files statically with your application.

1. Add all *.c and *.cpp files from the SQLite directory to your project.
2. Implement a wrapper function in your window class to expose the database opening capability to the Sciter engine.
3. Register the function in your class's SOM (Sciter Object Model) passport so it is accessible from the UI/scripting layer.

// 1. Define the wrapper function in your window class
sciter::value openDb(sciter::string path) {
    sqlite::DB* pdb = sqlite::DB::open(path);
    if (pdb)
      return sciter::value::wrap_asset(pdb);
    else
      return sciter::value();
}

// 2. Register the function in the SOM passport
SOM_PASSPORT_BEGIN(frame)
    SOM_FUNCS( SOM_FUNC(openDb) )
SOM_PASSPORT_END

Sciter provides pre-compiled binaries organized by operating system and rendering backend. Choose the directory that matches your target platform and preferred graphics engine:

• Windows (Direct2D & GDI+): Use /bin.
• Windows (Direct2D & Skia): Use /bin.skia.
• macOS (CoreGraphics & Skia): Use /bin.osx.
