wv{sn,ns}printf[AW]
by Peter Hunnisett July 9, 2001

July 9, 2001

Hi, it appears that we have a bit of a hack in the wine code. Presently we export wvsnprintf[AW] from user32. - These two functions do not appear to be in the real user32.dll and the comments in the code seem to back it up. - Windows does have wvnsprintf[AW] (note the transposed "sn") exported from shlwapi.dll So my questions are: 1) Was the user32 a bit of a hack because those routines just weren't noticed or was it because of something from before shlwapi? 2) Can wvnsprintf be moved from user32 into shlwapi? This would cause user32 to have to import shlwapi (because wsprintfA and friends use it in their implementation) and I don't know if that's legal because user32 seems to only import gdi32 and kernel32. If not, what's the solution? Reimplement everything in user32 to not use wvnsprintf and move the implementation over or just keep the existing situation and rename wvnsprintf to wvnsprintf and forward the shlwapi calls to user32?

What this means is that in some version of shlwapi StrRetToStrW is at ordinal 240, but it can be at other ordinals in other versions since it is looked up by name. In our builtin version, ordinal 240 is something else (which is fine), and StrRetToStrW is not implemented at all (which is the cause of your problem). You can either implement it, or use the native shlwapi. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Sure, that's the main reason behind all the recent window management and messaging changes. So yes, it is being worked on. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

At that point everything returns to normal. The new hardware event handling does not yet attempt to merge mouse motion events, so this is probably the reason for the problem. This should be fixed soon. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

And I just tested it a few minutes ago and it still does not work (for me). I don't know where the data goes, but it does not appear to be written to a file anywhere. Actually, I think that is probably a good thing. In most cases, the print dialog should have a "Print to file" button. And if there is no way to specify a file name, then the ~/.wine/config entry "FILE:" = "foo.ps" will control where it is written, and in this case it will in fact be correctly written to the indicated file name.

Problems running WINE with Half-Life with CounterStrike
by David Bronaugh July 8, 2001

July 8, 2001

Hey all, I'm having some interesting issues with Half-Life running under WINE... I'm guessing these are due to it running under WINE (they are strange enough). #1 problem: I can't type normally in the Half-Life console (the keyboard is mapped to a completely nonsensical map). I believe this is because they implemented their own custom key handler. Is there any workaround in software/with config for this? Note that this is only in the game when the game engine is initialized, otherwise the keyboard works great (Kudos to the WINE people that my dvorak-mapped QWERTY keyboard works as it should in dvorak). #2 problem: I can't get to the Half-Life console without going through some convolutions... This in itself is useless to tell you people. How I do get into the game is by the following method: I join a game or whatever, and the "Loading" screen pops up. At this point.. it will sit there for hours (I'm guessing this is a locking issue with pthreads?). What I do that appears to relieve the deadlock is to click the "Done" button that is invisible (but I know where it is, so I click it). Then the game loads normally, and runs decently enough (performance isn't great, but playable... huge kudos to the Wine crew for that). Note that the only button that does this is the "Done" button, the rest do nothing out of the ordinary. Again, this may be due to some peculiarity with Half-Life or with my config.. I'm betting on a peculiarity with Half-Life interacting with some unimplemented feauture or bug in WINE. If anyone has suggestions re these two, send em to me.. I'm more than happy to spend a few hours to help resolve this. David Bronaugh

Are these the ordinal names?
by Peter Hunnisett July 8, 2001

July 8, 2001

Howdy, I have a couple of questions about the following error messages err:win32:fixup_imports No implementation for SHLWAPI.dll.281(wvnsprintfA) imported from C:\windows\system\shdocvw.dll, setting to 0xdeadbeef err:win32:fixup_imports No implementation for SHLWAPI.dll.282(wvnsprintfW) imported from C:\windows\system\shdocvw.dll, setting to 0xdeadbeef err:win32:fixup_imports No implementation for SHLWAPI.dll.240(StrRetToStrW) imported from C:\windows\system\shdocvw.dll, setting to 0xdeadbeef 1) Do these messages mean that 281 is named wvnsprintfA and so on? If so, why does the SHLWAPI.240 name not seem to jive with the existing implementation? 2) Why would I be getting the error for SHLWAPI.dll.240(StrRetToStrW) given the fact that the shlwapi.spec file contains the following line and there does seem to be an implementation in ordinal.c? 240 stdcall @(long long long long) SHLWAPI_240 Ciao, Peter Hunnisett hunnise(a)yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Win16 problems

At 10:43 PM 03/07/2001 +0200, you wrote: <snip> >winmine fails to draw, whereas freecell runs just fine Yes, I see the problem with winmine; but is it really a 16-bits problem ? What I see is an app creating its main window iconic (minimized), then showing it using ShowWindow. Current Wine code does not take this particular behaviour (completely absurd, granted) in account - When the window is created the 'client' window is not mapped (since it's iconic, nothing surprising here), but in ShowWindow the iconic flag (WS_MINIMIZED) is cleared, and when SetWindowPos is called by ShowWindow, X11DRV_sync_client_window_position cleverly detects that the window is already mapped ;-) and decides that it's not necessary to do anything more. This seems more a Winmine specific problem than otherwise. BTW, I can't see any problem with sol.exe (win3.11 version) This patch : --- window.c.orig Wed Jun 27 03:03:36 2001 +++ window.c Sat Jul 7 23:19:03 2001 @@ -596,7 +596,7 @@ if (was_mapped && !is_client_window_mapped( win )) XUnmapWindow( display, data->client_window ); XConfigureWindow( display, data->client_window, mask, &changes ); - if (!was_mapped && is_client_window_mapped( win )) + if (is_client_window_mapped( win )) XMapWindow( display, data->client_window ); wine_tsx11_unlock(); } works around this particular problem.

Windows .lnk file parsing
by J. Henning Schwentner July 7, 2001

July 7, 2001

Hi Wine developers, I am planning to write a little tool "lnk2desktop" which converts Windows LNK links into KDE/Gnome .desktop links, which you could use then to integrate your Windows start menu into your K menu. When I searched through the wine news archive I found a message about library that parses .lnk files and returns the command to execute, the icon etc. My question is now, does such a library exist and what other ways do exist for finding out such infomations? Regards, Henning Schwentner Lanthan Software KG P.S.: Please CC me, since I am not subscribed to the list.
