Someone previously posted pretty good information about the format of CryptProtectData on MSDN. I think it should be possible to implement a close facsimile, except that the user's credentials (password) would be missing in Wine since there isn't any at the moment. If you have time to do this, it would be ideal. Failing that, doing any stateless transformation (e.g. no change at all, or xor-ing with some magic value) would be preferrable to storing this data in the registry, if I understood Alexandre's comments correctly. We're trying to avoid proliferation of OpenSSL in Wine. Relying on CryptoAPI is a safer bet. --Juan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

short-circuting a dialog box?
by Kees Cook 03 May '05

03 May '05

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to short-circuit a dialog box. Basically, I want to traps calls to DialogBoxParam, pump calls into lpDialogFunc for dialog init, and then clicking of the "Ok" button, and finally trap calls to EndDialog. It seems that this is ... hard. :) There is a lot of resource loading, window initialization code, etc that goes on inside DialogBoxParam, and I'd need to handle all of that, I think. There even appears to be issues with 16 vs 32 bit handler addresses, etc. Looks really ugly. Is there a simpler way to programatically click "Ok" on a dialog box? (The dialog box coming from code that I don't have source for...) -- Kees Cook @outflux.net

wineconf videos
by Ivan Leo Puoti 03 May '05

We need some help with editing, questions can be heard in the background, but I think that if someone could turn the volume of the comments up it would be almost as good as if the people speaking had a microphone. Also we need someone to split the sound from the video so we can have audio files for those without fast connections. Ivan.

Commercial Support

The point I wanted to make is, that only submitting patches or saying, "we give wine support", may hurt the wine project more than it helps: 1.) I didn't want to write this, so not to make this thread as an opportunity to make some self advertisement, but I need to explain: Linux Vendors are in fact solution and support providers. We ourselves (StartCom Linux) had the opportunity's to get a certain applications for a certain customers going, by "fixing" a few lines. This does not mean, that this fix was worth for the development efforts of wine. I prefer to let others doing this job better than we do... We do not maintain a wine source tree per se, nor do we checkout from CVS nor do we intend to do it anytime soon. We build and rather fix our current RPM from official releases and provide that to the customer. However, we very carefully monitor the wine devel list and know exactly what's going on (more or less) and are mostly up to date. Based on that informations we publish a new RPM's for our distributions or not. Therefor our efforts are not for the development of wine, but rather for the usability of the end user. 2.) Linux Support and solution issues are not only based on Wine. Wine is just one (important) application contributing to this effort. Now, a person or company listed in such a list, might be able to hack up a few patches, but might not be able to maintain a support level needed. Does that mean, that a patch submitting individual gives better support than a Linux Vendor with all the staff at hand? Having GOLD and SILVER listings makes that issue even more difficult....(Shahar, I know you submitted some nice work for unicode support, but does that make you own wine or making you a better wine supporting company than others??) 3.) I think, if you want to advertise your services, setup a appropriate website and make your offerings. Maybe instead of a list there should be a reference to some google searches suggesting a query....I personally think, that the community based wine should stay that way and leave the commercial issues going their own way. Well, I hope I made my point and wont bother anymore concerning this issue. Hope that this input was useful and gave you some food for thoughts.... -- Regards Signer: Eddy Nigg Company: StartCom Linux at www.startcom.org <http://www.startcom.org/> MediaHost^(TM) at www.mediahost.org <http://www.mediahost.org/> Skype: startcom <callto://startcom/> Phone: +1.213.341.0390 Import StartCom Public CA <http://cert.startcom.org/index.php?app=109>

Commercial support
by Shachar Shemesh 03 May '05

Hi Jer, When you finally get around to adding a "commercial support" to Winehq, I would love this list to include: "Lingnu Open Source Consulting", web at http://www.lingnu.com. On a different note. There is a page at http://www.winehq.org/site/support, but there does not appear to be any link to it. Shachar -- Shachar Shemesh Lingnu Open Source Consulting ltd. Have you backed up today's work? http://www.lingnu.com/backup.html

But after opening winmine.exe (from winxp) with vi, I didn't find an AdjustWindowRect, which means that the two programs are different in the way they handle the screen for new games.

Hi, whenever i run winamp i get an "extra" window like in attached screenshot (in the upper left corner): http://uk.f257.mail.yahoo.com/ym/ShowLetter/Untitled.jpg?viewimg=1&box=Inbo… Further investigation shows it's this window: trace:win:WIN_CreateWindowEx "OleMainThreadWndName" "OleMainThreadWndClass 0x### ##### " ex=00000000 style=88000000 -2147483648,-2147483648 -2147483648x-21474836 48 parent=(nil) menu=(nil) inst=0x65f00000 params=(nil) trace:win:dump_window_styles style: WS_POPUP WS_DISABLED trace:win:dump_window_styles exstyle: trace:win:WIN_CreateWindowEx winproc type is 2 (WIN_PROC_32A) trace:win:WIN_SetWindowLong 0x10022 -12 0 3 trace:win:WIN_CreateWindowEx created window 0x10022 Googling shows it's a kind of hidden window but somehow in wine it gets displayed. Anyone knows why it is displayed and how to get rid of the window, as in windows it is not shown.. Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
