Regarding the swapchain validation layer issue caused by multiple QWidgets in vsgQt.

[zhuzhiyong8679]

question

When I use the vsgqtwindows and vsgqtmdi examples, everything works correctly. However, when I made some modifications to vsgqtwindows — using QStackedWidget to create three QWidgets stacked on top of vsgQt::Window and switching between them — a problem occurs.
The validation layer error is as follows：

error

VUID-vkAcquireNextImageKHR-surface-07783(ERROR / SPEC): msgNum: -1391585802 - Validation Error: [ VUID-vkAcquireNextImageKHR-surface-07783 ] Object 0: handle = 0x1bc00000001bc, type = VK_OBJECT_TYPE_SWAPCHAIN_KHR; | MessageID = 0xad0e15f6 | vkAcquireNextImageKHR(): Application has already previously acquired 2 images from swapchain. Only 2 are available to be acquired using a timeout of UINT64_MAX (given the swapchain has 3, and VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR::minImageCount is 2). The Vulkan spec states: If forward progress cannot be guaranteed for the surface used to create the swapchain member of pAcquireInfo, the timeout member of pAcquireInfo must not be UINT64_MAX (https://www.khronos.org/registry/vulkan/specs/1.3-extensions/html/vkspec.html#VUID-vkAcquireNextImageKHR-surface-07783) Objects: 1 [0] 0x1bc00000001bc, type: 1000001000, name: NULL

I modified the code of vsgqtwindows. When I switch to the third page, a validation layer error occurs. What should I do? Thank you again. Finally, I think different Qt components might produce different effects. For example, QStackedWidget hides non‑current pages. I suppose I should do something in the Window::hideEvent(QHideEvent* /e/) function.

Solution: The viewer determines whether there are hidden windows and does not submit or render windows marked as hidden.
