PATCH: GetX11WindowId()
by Nikolas Zimmermann 29 May '01

29 May '01

Hi there, this is my first wine patch. it allows the coder to get the X11 Window Id of a HWND. People ask me why this belongs into x11drv and why i need it. ActiveX support for Konqueror, Malte Starostik (who will post some oleaut and urlmon patches soon) and me are working on this. I need to embed the created window, therefore i need this window id. Thank you in advance Bye Bye Niko -- Nikolas Zimmermann wildfox(a)kde.org

All right, I still can't see this bad redrawing , but I can see the menu not accessible behaviour now. I'll try to understand something in this problem this week. Btw, this app does not work at all for me in managed mode, it hangs after displaying the splash screen. (but sm7.exe - version 7.5 and sm99.exe - version 9 both load). I think it's an unrelated problem though since it happens with my oldest wine version (20000801) and it's not fixed by your patch. Gerard

a tool: simple C++ interface definition -> ICOM_ macro converter.
by TAKESHIMA Hidenori 28 May '01

28 May '01

This program may help creating ICOM_ macro. (but this code doesn't have portability, so some modification may be required.) for example, if give the following codes to stdin, we gets ICOM_ macros for IPersist. class IUnknown { public: HRESULT QueryInterface( REFIID riid, LPVOID *ppvObj) ; ULONG AddRef() ; ULONG Release() ; }; export interface IPersist : public IUnknown { virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE GetClassID( CLSID *pClassID ); };

Enabling backing store
by David Hagood 27 May '01

27 May '01

Has any thought been given to enabling backing store on Wine's windows? As it stands now, when you obscure a Wine window, it forces the Windows app to redraw the screen. Many times this is not needed. Perhaps a configuration option to allow certain apps to have backing store on would be useful. I know that up until a few months ago, it was possible to go into wnd.c and change the default from NotUseful to WhenMapped and things seemed to work well. However, the structure of the X driver has changed, and a simple patch is no longer possible.

Q: anybody using Exceed on NT4 as X server for wine?
by Heiko Nardmann 26 May '01

26 May '01

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Is there anybody out there who uses Exceed on NT4 as the X server to display wine applications (like winemine from examples) which have been started on Linux? If yes are did you try 20010510 snapshot (or CVS) to run your applications? If yes could you provide me with your configuration files? I am still not able to start winemine since snapshot 20010418 (20010326 works fine). - -- Heiko Nardmann (Dipl.-Ing.), h.nardmann(a)secunet.de, Software Development secunet Security Networks AG - Sicherheit in Netzwerken (www.secunet.de) Weidenauer Str. 223-225, D-57076 Siegen Tel. : +49 271 48950-13, Fax : +49 271 48950-50 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE7DgpMpm53PRScYygRAn6cAKDaQl3Tm4l/sIe9cQoRbdwo7vf7bwCg8gm5 38OwXBWHUxJVc1ZV91iywRY= =CjPM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

That's certainly a viable solution yes. If you send me a patch implementing the separate files I'll do the Makefile magic. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

If the data is so interdependent that you cannot split the file, you are doing something wrong IMO. And in fact splitting it will help enforce a clean data structure, which is a major advantage. > From a build point of view, gcc has no problem at all with the file.

You may not need to read every single line, but you still need to go through it if you want to understand the structure (this is how I noticed it was too large...). So please consider splitting it. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

I actually gave quite a bit of thought to the large file issue before submitting it, and I would agree with you if there were any functional code in the file. Because it's entirely data, and it's heavily interdependent, I really think that one file is better. (As the person most likely be tweaking the data in the near future, I can tell you that having a single file to edit, albeit a long one, will be heck of a lot easier than having 39 separate files, and isn't that really the point?) >From a build point of view, gcc has no problem at all with the file. In fact it compiles much faster than many of Wine's functional files. If a target compiler (does Wine build with anything other than gcc?) does have a problem with it, I will yield to necessity. Until that happens, how- ever, I believe that the practical benefit of maintainability outweighs stylistic concerns. (After all, it's not like anyone will ever need to read all the way through the file to understand it, as is the case with functional code.) I would like to make the data constant, but that would require major surgery to afm.c, which is more than I can take on at this point. Keep in mind that the same amount of memory is being used currently; it's just dynamically allocated as the AFM files are read in. > > I'm guessing that you have a script to generate all this; could you > please consider submitting it?

I have always intended to submit them, but didn't know where in the source tree to put them. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher ian.pilcher(a)home.com ========================================================================
