text edit box not painting text ( on form startup )
by Doug Herbert 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

( I have posted a similiar question in wine-users, don't flame me for doing so, just thinking about this some more, perhaps it may be more a developer question ) Ok, I have a windows app, that runs under wine fine - not quite. This app has a form, with many text field edit boxes on. Quite often these edit boxes already have text values, ie. they are not empty - there is a database behind the form. Anyway, the form shows on the screen, but the text within the edit fields is invisible, until you activate each edit box component. When you leave one edit box to the next, the text remains visible. It seems like the repainting is not working, on initial startup of the form. As a way to debug this database app ( I don't have the source code for it ) I wrote a real basic form app in Visual Studio, with two edit boxes, with data in each. Now this basic app shows the text values immediately on startup. So there must be something different that the database app is not doing. I then ran wine using 'wine --debugmsg +edit programname' for both app's. I see both logging 'Creating ANSI edit control, style = xxxxx' but the style reference is different between apps - I am not sure if this the cause or not. The problem app reports style = 54011104 and the basic app shows style = 50010080. Can somebody explain what this style reference means and how do I force an app to use a certain style of edit box ? What other wine class debugmsg types should I use to narrow down the source of this problem ? Is there anyway I can check to see how the database app is repainting text within the text edit components ? Regards Doug Herbert. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I read previously that Daylight Savings Time transition dates were a FIXME. If I knew where to implement them, I will look into implementing them myself.

Re: Using Windows ODBC drivers

If there's any > interest, I can give you a quick summary on how to set things up. It looks like the stuff on WineHQ is a bit out of date. A patch I submitted in March added some info that Boaz put together. Now that section should read: <title>Using Windows ODBC drivers</title> <para> Native ODBC drivers have been reported to work for many types of databases including MSSQL and Oracle. In fact, some like MSSQL can only be accessed on Linux through a Winelib app. Rather than just copying DLL files, most ODBC drivers require a Windows-based installer to run to properly configure things such as registry keys. </para> <para> In order to set up MSSQL support you will first need to download and run the mdac_typ.exe installer from microsoft.com. In order to configure your ODBC connections you must then run CLICONFG.EXE and ODBCAD32.EXE under Wine. You can find them in the windows\system directory after mdac_typ runs. Compare the output of these programs with the output on a native Windows machine. Some things, such as protocols, may be missing because they rely on being installed along with the operating system. If so, you may be able to copy missing functionality from an existing Windows installation as well as any registry values required. A native Windows installation configured to be used by Wine should work the same way it did when run natively. If you'd like to make any additions or corrections, please work from the version in CVS. If you'd like me to do the SGML markup, feel free to email me raw text to add. If so, no rush - I'll be out of town till May 10th.

Printing problem; RHEL3U1 (CUPS) with 20031118
by Bill Medland 03 May '04

03 May '04

(Yes, I know 20031118 is a little old) Anyone any ideas what is going on here or any simple tests I can do? I am trying to get our company's software running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 1. I am using the wine-20031118-1rh8winehq.i686.rpm I am printing to a SMB printer elsewhere on the computer. I can print the test page from the printconfgui I can print a text file from the command line (lp /etc/passwd) I cannot print from notepad; nothing seems to happen I cannot print from our application; I get the error: lpr: unable to print file: server-error-service-unavailable (I'll try the 20040408 when I can actually download it, but I don't expect it to change) (I would try changing to LPRng but of course RHEL3 doesn't seem to include it) Anyone any ideas? -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed

winelib application taking 100% of the CPU
by Scott W Gifford 03 May '04

03 May '04

Hello, I recently ported a small application from Windows using winelib. The app uses a third-party DLL that I don't have source for (which is why I'm using winelib instead of just writing a Unix program). It seems to work fine, but it takes up 100% of the CPU all the time: 24916 activewv 25 0 1080 1080 920 R 50.2 0.2 44:06 0 wineserver 24938 activewv 16 0 0 0 0 Z 24.5 0.0 3:52 0 wine-pthread <defunct> 24913 activewv 15 0 0 0 0 Z 24.1 0.0 17:38 0 wine-pthread <defunct> Also Linux claims that the two threads of the program are zombies, and are taking up 25% of the CPU, which doesn't really make any sense. The app isn't CPU-intensive under Windows. The app is just sending a short request to the serial port every 5-10 seconds, and sometimes getting back a short response. When I strace wineserver, it's doing: 31132 poll([{fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13, events=POLLIN}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=16, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=17, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=28, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, { fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=32, events=0, revents=POLLERR|POLLHUP}, {fd=33, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=36, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=18, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=44, events=0, revents=POLLERR|POLLHUP}, {fd=45, events=POLLIN, revents=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=48, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=24, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=56, events=POLLIN}, {fd=57, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=60, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=63, events=POLLIN}, {fd=64, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {! fd=71, events=POLLIN}, {fd=72, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}, {fd=75, events=POLLIN}, {fd=-1}, {fd=-1}], 69, -1) = 4 31132 read(33, "&\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0L\0\0\0\0\0\0@\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 64) = 64 31132 write(34, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\t\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 64) = 64 31132 read(45, "\25\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0l\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 64) = 64 31132 write(46, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\377\377\377\377\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 64) = 64 Those file descriptors are all pipes according to lsof, and I'm not sure what they're connected to---although it seems likely they're connected to those two threads, especially since those are the only threads this copy of wineserver is servicing. I'm not really sure how to go about figuring this out; I'm about to port another similar application, and I'd prefer not to have both of them trying to get the CPU all the time. This is with Wine-20040309, compiled myself for a Fedora Core Release 1 (Yarrow) Linux. I'm not really sure what my next step is in figuring this out. Any ideas? Thanks! ----ScottG.

Marlett Replacement Useful for Wine?
by Robert Shearman 01 May '04

01 May '04

Hi all, I have several people interested in creating a replacement for the Marlett symbol font included in Windows (used for drawing of window decorations and some widgets). Would this be useful for inclusion in Wine? If so, would just the TTF file be ok, or would you need whatever propietary formatted file they will probably be working with (I think it will be some Adobe product)? Rob

Linking with 3rd party DLLs
by Scott W Gifford 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

I'm working on two apps that link to 3rd party DLLs. For both DLLs, I have a .dll file and a .lib file, but no .def. For the first app, in order to get things working I had to load all of the functions myself with GetProcAddress. That worked fine, but was tedious to set up. I know there's a better way, but nothing I've tried has worked. I tried to create a .spec file, compile to a .def file, and link with that. If I copy ActiveWaveLib.dll to libActiveWaveLib.dll, create an ActiveWaveLib.spec file, compile that with winebuild to libActiveWaveLib.def, then compile with: wineg++ ... -lActiveWaveLib it compiles, but when I run it complains: err:module:import_dll No implementation for ActiveWaveLib.dll.rfCallTags imported from L"Z:\\home\\gifford\\prog\\activewave-test\\activewave.exe", setting to 0xdeadbeef If I instead use: wineg++ ... -iActiveWaveLib it won't compile: activewave.o(.text+0xce): In function `main': : warning: undefined reference to `rfRegisterReaderEvent' Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what else I can try? Thanks! ----ScottG.
