Not if they are changed permanently; if we want them to be reset then we simply should not set them and always query X. Basically there are many possibilities: 1) get and set in registry, ignore X 2) get and set in registry, if nothing in registry get default value from X 3) always get from X, ignore registry, do nothing on set 4) always get from X, ignore registry, set X value on set (not recommended) and there are even more combinations if you differentiate setting permanently/temporarily. There is no single right answer, it all depends on what the parameter does. IMO most cases should do 1), but there can be exceptions. > One case which comes to mind when such integration > would be useful is system parameter which shows > whether mouse buttons are swapped.

In this case I don't think we should query X at all, since if the buttons are swapped at the X level this is transparent for us. Otherwise the buttons will get swapped twice... -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

The X settings should probably be loaded lazily just like the rest. Just check if the registry key exists already to find out if you need to get the value from X. Another possibility is to have the X driver set the registry values on startup; this may actually be cleaner since then you don't need to add new calls to the USER driver. Also I'm not convinced there are many cases where we actually need to get proper values from X; what cases do you have in mind? > Other issue is fixed with this approach - the values > in registry are not changed back to X settings on > startup of new Wine process. > > Alexandre, the submitted patch is not affected by this > issue because none of the system parameters there is > initialized from X settings. > > Do you have any other concerns about the patch? Not really; a few minor issues but I'll fix them when committing the patch. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

No, this shouldn't be used from user32 (besides it won't really do what you want). Why do you need this at all? -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Hello I have obtained a copy of Microsofts Documentation on the Compound File Binary Format. I have posted it on my web site at chicago.sf.net/devel/ole/ff.txt. It is plain text now, but I will be converting it to HTML over the next few days. I hope it helps. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

In that context "user" means an object that is a user of the select facilities. It has nothing to do with Unix users or anything else, it's purely internal to the select routines. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

What does user mean?
by Bill Medland Nov. 6, 2001

Nov. 6, 2001

I am working on the server code (adding the byte locking stuff) and down in the select/thread/object stuff I keep coming across the term "user" which seems to be synonymous with object. What is it supposed to mean? Why is an object a user? How does it relate to a physical person or a windows process or whatever? Bill

Extra info in scrollbar can be an handle.
by Marco Bizzarri Nov. 6, 2001

Nov. 6, 2001

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. We have an application which crashes when trying to access the Window Long info in a scrollbar. After some tracking, it looked like the issue was that in some cases the wExtra data can contain an handle rather than a pointer. The included patch solves the problem by making an explicit GlobalLock, and returning that value. I'm not sure this is the correct solution, so comments are welcome. wine is from the latest cvs - -- Marco Bizzarri - Responsabile Tecnico - Icube S.r.l.

Re: Winsock2 & overlapped IO

Hi Ove, >Hm, by the way, when are you going to implemented overlapped >ConnectNamedPipe? That might make my rpcrt4 wait-for-connection code a bit >cleaner, so I don't have to spawn a separate thread per named pipe, and >worse, use TerminateThread to cancel the wait... OK. i'll have a look at it. Having a full time job, a part time job and a girlfriend to take care of kind of eats into my time though :-) >The challenges for winsock2 should be pretty much the same as those for >implementing something like ReadFileEx (which you've probably already >done) and the above-mentioned overlapped ConnectNamedPipe. Yeah, ReadFileEx is pretty much complete. Perhaps i'll have a look into overlapped sockets too... don't hold your breath though ;-) Mike btw. nice work on OLE/InstallShield stuff ------------------------------------------ mailto:Mike_McCormack(a)start.com.au ph +82 16 430 0425 __________________________________________________________________ Get your free Australian email account at http://www.Looksmart.com.au
