使用XCB获取窗口标题

Question

我正在尝试获取关注窗口的信息。从 xcb_get_input_focus_reply_t->focus 中，我似乎得到了正确的窗口ID：对于我的 Eclipse IDE（56623164），它保持不变，而对于其他任何关注窗口，它都是另一个值。然而，对于 XCB_ATOM_WM_NAME，值的长度始终为0。

缩短的代码

cookie = xcb_get_property(c, 0, fr->focus, XCB_ATOM_WM_NAME,
            XCB_ATOM_STRING, 0, 0);
if ((reply = xcb_get_property_reply(c, cookie, NULL))) {
    int len = xcb_get_property_value_length(reply);
    if (len == 0) {
        printf("Zero Length\n");
        free(reply);
        return;
    }
    printf("WM_NAME is %.*s\n", len, (char*) xcb_get_property_value(reply));
}

Eclipse调试器

reply xcb_get_property_reply_t * 0x60bd40
    response_type uint8_t            1 '\001'
    format        uint8_t            0 '\0'
    sequence      uint16_t           2
    length        uint32_t           0
    type          xcb_atom_t         0
    bytes_after   uint32_t           0
    value_len     uint32_t           0
    pad0          unsigned char [12] 0x60bd54   

没有错误（我已经通过并检查了 xcb_generic_error_t）。你有任何想法出了什么问题吗？也许我应该使用 Xlib 代替...

这段代码对我有效，它是在js-ctypes中的，但您可以忽略这一部分并查看API使用方法：

var win = aXcbWindowT;
// console.log('win:', win);

var req_title = ostypes.API('xcb_get_property')(ostypes.HELPER.cachedXCBConn(), 0, win, ostypes.CONST.XCB_ATOM_WM_NAME, ostypes.CONST.XCB_ATOM_STRING, 0, 100); // `100` means it will get 100*4 so 400 bytes, so that 400 char, so `rez_title.bytes_after` should be `0` but i can loop till it comes out to be 0
var rez_title = ostypes.API('xcb_get_property_reply')(ostypes.HELPER.cachedXCBConn(), req_title, null);
// console.log('rez_title:', rez_title);

var title_len = ostypes.API('xcb_get_property_value_length')(rez_title); // length is not null terminated so "Console - chrome://nativeshot/content/resources/scripts/MainWorker.js?0.01966718940939427" will be length of `88`, this matches `rez_title.length` but the docs recommend to use this call to get the value, i dont know why
console.log('title_len:', title_len, 'rez_title.contents.length:', rez_title.contents.length); // i think `rez_title.contents.length` is the actual length DIVIDED by 4, and rez_title_len is not dividied by 4

var title_buf = ostypes.API('xcb_get_property_value')(rez_title); // "title_len: 89 rez_title.contents.length: 23" for test case of "Console - chrome://nativeshot/content/resources/scripts/MainWorker.js?0.01966718940939427"
// console.log('title_buf:', title_buf);

var title = ctypes.cast(title_buf, ctypes.char.array(title_len).ptr).contents.readString();
console.log('title:', title);

ostypes.API('free')(rez_title);

return title;

有时候，xcb_get_input_focus_reply_t->focus 返回的并不是要操作的窗口。我发现有时它没有标题，但如果你使用 xcb_query_tree，你可以找到它的父窗口，很可能有一个标题：

    var req_query = ostypes.API('xcb_query_tree')(ostypes.HELPER.cachedXCBConn(), win);
    var rez_query = ostypes.API('xcb_query_tree_reply')(ostypes.HELPER.cachedXCBConn(), req_query, null);
    console.log('rez_query.contents:', rez_query.contents);
    if (root === -1) {
        root = rez_query.contents.root;
    }
    win = rez_query.contents.parent; // this win should have the title
