Hi Mehmet, I created the problematic change in question. Without the change, when StgOpenStorage is called with an existing zero length file as the filename, it fails because it suceeded in opening the file but expects it to have valid content... Unfortunately, the change was merged incorrectly from the big CW patch. (the Fad structure is not initiaized) Could you try this patch instead please?

Question about ToolbarWindowProc
by Jeremy Shaw 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

Greetings: I am attempting to implement toolbar window message 0x463 -- which, as far as I can tell, is undocumented. If anyone has any information about it, I would love to hear it. I currently have a question about a difference in the implementation of comctl32.dll under Wine vs Windows. In both Wine and Windows, the function ToolbarWindowProc starts by calling GetWindowLongA (hwnd, 0) and treats the returned value as a pointer to a structure. Under wine the structure is the TOOLBAR_INFO structure defined in dlls/comctl32/toolbar.c. Under Windows, I have no idea what the structure looks like. Using the debugger, I can see that the first two elements of the structure are the hwnd numbers of the window and its parent -- but after that it is not very obvious. The structure is over 150 bytes in size. Does anyone know what the structure under Windows looks like? Thanks, Jeremy Shaw. jeremy(a)lindows.com

SystemParamtersInfoA Unknown Action: 4104
by David.Goodenough＠DGA.co.uk 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

I have just tried to fire up MindManager under Wine. It installed cleanly (as far as I can tell) and successfully created an icon on my KDE desktop.. When I try to run it however, it first complains about a fixme in CreateAcceleratorTableA, which I think I understand, and then hits another fixme in SystemParamertersInfoA from which it asked for action 4104. Looking at SystemParametersInfoA this seems odd as the action value is much too large. Does anyone have any idea what this might mean? Neither 04 nor 41 make much sense either. The app then hangs, and neither the mouse nor the keyboard seem to be able to get from the first little window into the main application. Perhaps the 04 did make sense, as it talks about the mouse. I am running the version from Debian testing. David

What's the status of clippy? I picked up today's cvs and when clippy comes up, it still hangs office applications. Has there been any progress on this?

Bootprocedure again
by Gerhard W. Gruber 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

Maybe it went a bit unnoticed because of the many mails the licence issue generated, or then again, maybe the bootprocedure is not that important to most. :) The only response I got was that performance could be a consideration, which I think wouldn't be a problem and another one was that wine shouldn't be forced to reboot entirely in order to make it happen. So if nobdoy has a real objection why this shouldn't be done, then I implement it as I see fit to be most userfriendly (performance is always my consideration so I don't need to mention it explicitly here).

linux from scratch
by Shane Shields 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

Never underestimate the power of stupidity and naievity, especially as projects like 'Linux from scratch' are getting popular. FYO i built my system using linux from scratch and it runs better than the redhat 6.2,7.1,7.2 distributions (insert preferred dist) no core dumps AT ALL. my directorys are posixs standard and i know more about linux than someone who just puts in a cd and answers some questions and ends up with some flakey bloatware. a stupid or naieve person CANNOT install linux from scratch but they can from a redhat cd. everybody can drive a car but not everyone can fix or build one.

Implementing SHAppBarMessage
by Drew Ogle 27 Feb '02

27 Feb '02

Hi, we were talking on #winehq about implementing SHAppBarMessage while not horridly important , implementing it properly could take a good bit of work. The problem is thus; when an application registers a hWnd and gets the system to allocate it a certain space, when other windows mazimize, they don't maximize over the appbar ( point in case -- ICQ ) this would then take some work in wineserver. For corectness' sake we would want to make these changes, but they could also introduce bugs. Sidenote: someone told me that Eric is working on SHAppBarMessage, is this correct? --Dante
