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!

Wine bug with delphi Menus
by Robert van Herk 05 Sep '04

05 Sep '04

Hi people, I think I discovered a wine bug. In a delphi program, changing the visibility of a menuitem (TMenuItem) causes the whole menu of that form to stop working, when the program is run under Wine. Behind the screens, the setVisible of a menu item calls MenuChanged. This seems to put the menu in such a state that, in wine, all menu components stop doing anything. I've written a small application (455 kb EXE) to show what goes wrong. Would anybody be interested to help me in solving this bug? Would a message trace from Winsight (for example) be of any help? Greetings, Robert

General serial communications issues
by David Purucker 14 Jun '04

14 Jun '04

Hello, I have tried several terminal programs (Hyperterm and TeraTerm) under several builds of Wine including Wine-20040505 and they seem to have the same generic problem. They all exhibit the same situation, DATA seems to go OUT, but never seems to come IN. Several other people have experienced the same thing, as seen in this bug report: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2115 By the way, TeraTerm does work fine in TCP/IP mode, so it's definitely a serial problem. It's freeware available here: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA002416/teraterm.html It appears to be a fundamental problem in the serial/file code, which I understand is now under the ntdll tree. Obviously, I don't know much about it, but there is definitely something wrong. I was wondering if any developers were aware of this problem, as the decreased general usage of serial communications may have caused this to slip under the carpet, so to speak. I look forward to hearing any ideas, work-arounds, or patches. Thanks _________________________________________________________________ Stop worrying about overloading your inbox - get MSN Hotmail Extra Storage! http://join.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200362ave/direct/01/

[REGRESSION] Photoshop 7.0 works before wine-cvs-20040130 16:??:?? CST (bug #2017)
by Luca Capello 13 Jun '04

13 Jun '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, as reported on bug #2017 [1], Adobe Photoshop 7.0 stops working after wine-20031212 (in the majority of cases). This happens on Debian unstable (where I am) as well as on other distro. As suggested by Tony Lambregts, I made a regression testing to find the patch that broke this. The problem is between cvs-20040130-165720 and cvs-20040130-165721. The 'cvs -d ...' command gives me updates for only 3 files: ===== U dlls/kernel/Makefile.in U dlls/kernel/actctx.c U dlls/kernel/kernel32.spec ===== so I think the problem should be in these files, am I right? If it's so, well, the patch that broke Photoshop 7.0 working is the following [2] - - Jon Griffiths <jon_p_griffiths(a)yahoo.com> Add stubs for the Activation Context API (XP+). Please fix this problem, now that you know the cause. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca [1] http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2017 [2] http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-cvs/2004/01/0394.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Debian - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFAu1FuVAp7Xm10JmkRAgWIAJ90THCdqfIu6/uLGyurqrLfNNWEkACeIAze ALi4ZeOtMTEEDp8ETWu4G4c= =/pZb -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Request for winetesting volunteers
by Chris Morgan 03 Jun '04

03 Jun '04

Thanks to Brian Vincent, Paul Millar, Dimi Paun, Ferenc Wagner and Kevin Koltzau the automated winetest suite is ready for more widespread testing. Kevin and Paul build winetests each night if there were cvs commits since the last time the tests were built. The winetests are published to a script on winehq that Brian and Dimi wrote. The winrash service that I wrote sends its current state to the service and receives a script to process that may direct it to check in later, download a winetest and run it or upgrade itself. Thanks to Ferenc the winetest results are sent back to winehq and can be accessed via http://test.winehq.org/data/ Pretty formatting of the results is coming soon ;-) We need volunteers that are willing to particpate in the winetesting process by running the winrash service on their computers. The winrash installer can be downloaded from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/winrash/winrash-0007-chris-msvc.exe?down… You can find out more about winrash at http://winrash.sf.net The installer will install winrash as a service and run Wine tests as required. It is IMPORTANT that you set the client id correctly. Please use your first and last name WITHOUT spaces, like JohnSmith. Using the default client id will cause your winetest results to be ignored. The service is smart enough to autoupgrade as new versions are released. To uninstall just go to the Add/Remove programs and click 'remove' as you do for many windows programs. There is the ability to restrict the times when winrash runs winetests but this requires manually adding some keys to the registry. I haven't finished testing this feature but if someone wants it I can see about getting it polished up and in a release early this coming week. We currently need testers for the whole range of windows versions, win95/98/me, nt3/4, win2k, xp and 2003. Please reply if you want to help out so that we know what kind of coverage we can expect. The more the merrier, so please sign up even if others have done so for your version of Windows. Chris

Current Wine CVS status
by Dmitry Timoshkov 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

Hello all (mostly Alexandre :-)), running today's ~/wine/wine under an old RH 6.2 install I get the following: Usage: ld.so [OPTION]... EXECUTABLE-FILE [ARGS-FOR-PROGRAM...] You have invoked `ld.so', the helper program for shared library executables. This program usually lives in the file `/lib/ld.so', and special directives in executable files using ELF shared libraries tell the system's program loader to load the helper program from this file. This helper program loads the shared libraries needed by the program executable, prepares the program to run, and runs it. You may invoke this helper program directly from the command line to load and run an ELF executable file; this is like executing that file itself, but always uses this helper program from the file you specified, instead of the helper program file specified in the executable file you run. This is mostly of use for maintainers to test new versions of this helper program; chances are you did not intend to run this program. --list list all dependencies and how they are resolved --verify verify that given object really is a dynamically linked object we get handle --library-path PATH use given PATH instead of content of the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH --inhibit-rpath LIST ignore RPATH information in object names in LIST -- Dmitry.
