Upon the testing of Kazaa lite I ran into numerous errors like: err:menu:MENU_ParseResource not a string item, flags: 0x0800 These entries appear to be intended as separators and in fact the flag of 0x800 is MF_SEPARATOR. The code in question is : if (!IS_STRING_ITEM(flags)) ERR("not a string item, flags: 0x%04x\n", flags ); Where IS_STRING_ITEM is a macro: #define IS_STRING_ITEM(flags) (MENU_ITEM_TYPE ((flags)) == MF_STRING) And: #define MENU_ITEM_TYPE(flags) \ ((flags) & (MF_STRING | MF_BITMAP | MF_OWNERDRAW | MF_SEPARATOR)) So, what appears to be occuring is that Kazaa is passing in MF_SEPARATOR as a flag and wine expects instead to get a MF_STRING with a string of null and in MENU_SetItemData() it does 'flags |= MF_SEPARATOR;' I'm only posting to wine-devel because this check has been in the code since the initial import into cvs and I wanted to see if anyone knew more of the background on the issue. The fix is pretty simple, just ignore the fact that IS_STRING_ITEM() returns false. The rest should be taken care of by the existing checks. Thanks, Chris
