[Help] When one application internally invokes another application?
by leanne 14 Aug '02

14 Aug '02

Dear all, I wonder wine's config would help if one application needs to invoke another application, say, Notes Client to open attachment with notepad.exe. I fail to open the attached txt file and it complained no such program. I have put notepad.exe on /usr/share/wine-c/windows/ and /usr/share/wine-c/windows/system :-( Anyone could help is much appreciated. Thanks. Leanne

If you select the memo field > then the Category field gets cleared. Well, after a day of wading through a whole lot of --debugmsg +all logs, I've figured out what's going on with this... EDIT_WM_GetText (in controls/edit.c) is "blindly" setting the last byte of the string buffer being past to it to NULL: textA[count - 1] = 0; /* ensure 0 termination */ Apparently, in this particular case, the buffer size (the 'count' veriable) is not correct, and the location of textA[count - 1] just happens to correspond to the first byte of the Category field, which (obviously) CHANGES IT TO A NULL STRING! Voila! Now, since I have just found this, I have not had a chance to determine of the erroneous value of "count" is a bug in Wine, or in Quicken! Doing so may take an awfully loooooong time, particularly since I don't have the source for Quicken. (Since this does not seem to be a pervasive bug, I'm suspecting Quicken...) So, here's what I see as my choices... 1) Forget the origin of the bug, and change EDIT_WM_GetText to only set the last byte to a NULL only if there is not a NULL byte prior to [count - 1]. I'm guessing the most efficient way (I'm no C guru) would be to change the line to something like: if (strlen(textA) >= count) textA[count - 1] = 0; If this is reasonable, the question that I would have is "What functions should I use in place of the strlen() above [for A and W strings] (or is strlen() good enough for both)?" 2) Take some time to try to track down if the bug is Wine related. I'm willing to spend a day (maybe two) on this, but my gut tells me it's futile. Obviously, if I find a related Wine bug, I'd fix it, which indirectly would fix this issue. But if I don't find a related bug, I guess I would have to revert to (1) anyway... Suggestions?? Comments?? Carl

As usual, I tried to update the cvs version I had before the crash. cvs update -APd the 7 cvs updates that appear on wine-cvs at Aug 12 don't come. I could patch it manually, but I prefer a clean cvs tree, updated with the normal way to proceed. --- Paul Millar <paulm(a)astro.gla.ac.uk> a écrit : > On Tue, 13 Aug 2002, [iso-8859-1] Sylvain Petreolle wrote: > > I checked the CVS to have last changes from August 12 that I see on > > wine-cvs and didn't get anything updated.

Just an FYI but this bug is also what is reported under bug#825 (and 961). I have indicated under 825 a hack which prevents the problem from occurring, and there was a recent discussion where Alexander indicated it may not be correct to actually call SetParent for GWL_HWNDPARENT, which is exactly what my hack changes. Note bug#825 also has an attached testcase already Jason

can windows be reparented?
by Medland, Bill 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

Can anyone help me with this? I am trying to track down a problem with our software, relating to Visual Basic and its forms. We launch a container executable which then loads one of hundreds of OCXes (compiled from Visual Basic). One of the things that then happens within those OCXes is that they use the Visual Basic "load" instruction to load a different form in a modal way. Under Windows the form (which is generally larger than the original OCX form) comes up on the main display, with full usability (you can click on windows etc). However under Wine it comes up within the client area of the original and only responds to keyboard input. (Luckily Alt+C maps to the Close button so we can close it). If I use Spy++ under Windows I can see that when the "popup" form is up then its parent is 0 but its owner is the ThunderRT6UserControlDC under the ATL window that is the container. Under Wine if I watch the CreateWindow calls I see that the ThunderRT6FormDC parented by the ThunderRT6Main and the ThunderRT6UserControlDC parented by a STATIC under the ThunderRT6Main. Unfortunately I know of no way to see what parent was originally specified under windows. I presume that it is unlikely that the parentage was altered after the windows were created. Does anyone know differently? Anyone now what might be going on? Bill

Bug #931
by Dusan Vujosevic 13 Aug '02

13 Aug '02

I seems that the problem I noted in bug #931 goes away when "PerfectGraphics" is set to false (????). I tracked the problem down to implementation of PATINVERT in BITBLT_InternalStretchBlt() (in graphics/x11drv/bitblt.c). It check whether 'perfect_graphics' is on and if it is it actually doesn't do the drawing: case PATINVERT: /* 0x5a */ if (perfect_graphics()) break; Maybe I'm missing soemthing here but I think that test should be: case PATINVERT: /* 0x5a */ if (!perfect_graphics()) break; That would give a more logical behaviour where there would not be any drawing errors when "PerfectGraphics" is set to True. (There are other spots where this is used in similar fashion) Another question is why have the "PerfectGraphics" option at all when it produces drawing artifacts? D.
