We don't need to create the keys, but we need to create the handle to the key. We could use NtOpenKey instead but NtCreateKey works just as well and avoids duplicating code. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

strange code
by Andreas Mohr Aug. 27, 2001

Aug. 27, 2001

Hi all, in PROFILE_LoadWineIni(), we return from processing in case we're not the boot thread only *after* having created HKLM\\Software\\Wine\\Wine registry keys: if (!CLIENT_IsBootThread()) return 1; /* already loaded */ Why ?? After all the registry is globally shared in wineserver, so it shouldn't be necessary to create them again via NtCreateKey if we're not the wine boot process. Am I right ? -- Andreas Mohr Stauferstr. 6, D-71272 Renningen, Germany Tel. +49 7159 800604 http://home.nexgo.de/andi.mohr/

help me with WIN95 value of version16()
by Ladislav Sladecek Aug. 27, 2001

Aug. 27, 2001

The return value of GetVersion16() for win95 changed recently from 0x5f03 to 0x304 in misc/version.c (patch 1.43 -> 1.44). The version of "real" win95 I use (Czech, win95 2nd ed) gives 0x5f03 while "wine --winver win95" gives 0x304. As I do not have the US version of win95 I am not able to determine the right value. Since people from many countries read this group I ask for help. I created a simple test (compiled binary attached or compile yourselves in a 16 bit compiler). Please let me know what do your win95 (win98) returns. #include <windows.h> int WINAPI WinMain() { char s[1024]; DWORD v; v = GetVersion(); wsprintf(s,"GetVersion returned: 0x%0x",v); MessageBox(NULL,s,"lsla(a)post.cz",0); return 0; } Ladislav Sladecek

I have no idea if OSR2 or 98 or Me behave differently, but I doubt it, else there would be a huge number of complaints in past Usenet postings archived on Google. IMO to fix the problem it's sufficient to change GetVersion16 along the lines of : if version = 0400 and winversion=win95 then version = 3.95 Gerard

I can compile and run 16 bits apps, on win3.1 if needed (it's a pain because it's old hardware I hardly use otherwise) GetVersion 16 bits must be a special case, returns 3.95, while 32 bits apps get 4.00 Gerard

propably simple

I'm sorry for posting to the developers group, although I'm not one. I just have a simple question and the other news group is not helping. for three days now I'm trying to get an application connects to a MSSQL database on a windows box. I'm running the following: Mandrake 8.0 wine 20010731 windows 98 partition and sql server is installed on it My application is built in Powerbuilder 6.0. it comes up with the user name and password box which should be authenticated through the database. when I submit the user name and password I get the following error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL SERVER DRIVER][TCP?IP SOCKET]General network error on the linux box I've already setup the MSSQL alias in the client connectivity utility of the sql server. I just want to know if I'm configuring the native and builtin wrong in my conf file or what I'm trying to do is not doable at all. I'll appreciate an answer so I can get some sleep, I'm literaly working on that for three days. Ibrahim Hamouda Internode Networks

keyboard problem
by Stefan Leichter Aug. 27, 2001

Aug. 27, 2001

Hello all, after a long time of debugging (because of my little experience with windows programing and debugging), i found the problem that breaks the keyboard input of my favorite game "You Don't Know Jack" (demos of newer versions downloadable at http://www.take2.de/downloads/demos.php) The problem is that the game is waiting for keyboard input by checking for the messages WM_KEYDOWN, WM_CHAR and WM_KEYUP at least for the keys 1-0 and a-z. But wine generates the messages WM_SYSKEYDOWN, WM_SYSCHAR? and WM_SYSKEYUP. The problem is in the file "windows/message.c" in the methode "process_raw_keyboard_message" in the line 383: if (msg->message < WM_SYSKEYDOWN) msg->message += WM_SYSKEYDOWN - WM_KEYDOWN; For some reason i do not understand the message becomes changed. If i remove this line the game recognize the keyboard input and is playable (somehow). An other option(untested) for the game is to change the line to something like this: if (msg->message < WM_KEYDOWN) msg->message += WM_SYSKEYDOWN - WM_KEYDOWN; Does anyone know why the message becomes changed? Or does anyone know a better fix for the problem? Is there a program the need the line as it is? Tschüß Stefan PS: I am not subscriped to this mailing list, but i'm reading the newsgroup wine.devel. So it will take some time to see my answers to your questions in the mailing list

I doubt GetFocus is bugged. What is quite probable is that the focus/active window handling is not behaving like Windows does (if there is really *one* behaviour in the different versions of Windows, that is). Another possibility (less probable in this case) could be that the Ms doc about WM_SYS* messages is inaccurate or incomplete. Gerard
