[Help]: Notes Client on WINE with XIM (Chinese/Japanese Input)

[leanne]

Dear all,

We are trying to use WINE (22/4/2002 version) to run Notes Client r6 
with Chinese/Japanese Input.
XIM is started successfully, but in some widgets we could not input 
Chinese/Japanese.

Please find the screenshot here 
(http://www.thizlinux.com/~leanne/notes.png).

We are forwarding a mail (with Chinese) in Notes Client.  Chinese can be 
displayed but NOT input in
the mail content area (After "Subject" line). What type of widget it is 
so that we could fix it?

We can type Chinese on "Address" line (listbox).

p.s. We can display and input Chinese/Japanese in Notepad.exe without 
any problems.

Yours,
Leanne

Hi Leanne,

Which notepad.exe are you using? As far as I understand, Wine has no 
support for X Input contexts at all, so I don't understand how you can 
enter Chinese text into Notes... perhaps Notes has it's own input method 
or you using an Xlib modified for multibyte support? Is your 
Wine-20020422 tree unmodified?

Could you please explain your setup in a bit more detail, for example, 
which X input method you are using, the XMODIFIERS, LANG, LC_ALL 
settings, etc.  I'm very curious as to how this is working...

thanks,

Mike

Hello, Mike!

Actually Aric and Ulrich helped a lot and they provided us the patch you 
Codeweavers did for your clients and Aric has
gained permission to open the source.  Since he needs to clean up the 
code, he suggested to let him post the patch when it's
done.  

I used it to try for Chinese Input on Notes Client r6.  Unfortunately, 
it only works on some controls.
When I want to type Chinese/Japanese on the mail content area ( do not 
know what kind of widget it is),
it doesn't show properly.  I think it's a bug.  Could you kindly help? 
Which segment of code I should trace on?

Very thanks.
