Exactly what I had in mind. After thinking about this, it seemed to me that is_window_managed() should examine the window's class, as well as its style bits, since the class will give a more accurate indication of what kind of window we're dealing with than just the style bits. -Ori Pessach _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Yes, because registry access isn't available yet when wininit.ini is handled during booting. That's what happens during the "Configuration files are being updated" ... "Done" (roughly translated from German, guess you know what I mean) while the boot logo is displayed. BTW, no idea why they call it "configuration files" :) Imagine kernel32, advapi or something else is being replaced...can't use the registry for it. The format of wininit.ini is pretty simple: ever line is like newname=oldname and causes the file named oldname to be renamed to newname. If newname is nul, the file is deleted. - -- Malte Starostik PGP: 1024D/D2F3C787 [C138 2121 FAF3 410A 1C2A 27CD 5431 7745 D2F3 C787] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8WJWMVDF3RdLzx4cRApncAKCFLIv32C+97uaTRq4UfXpFYFBASQCfezGw R80SYovvkyrywtu94xj+PnU= =NmRY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Of course it is a better way to do it the way, windows handles it to be as compatible to the original as possible. Actually I would have preferred to start with a different function, but then I thought this functions is nice and easy to start working on wine. :) It's a bit complex. :) -- Bye, Gerhard If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

Windows stores this information in c:\windows\wininit.ini, and several installers access this file directly. Using Get/SetPrivateProfileString should make accessing the file better protected from simultaneous access. Format of wininit.ini: [rename] c:\newfilename=c:\oldfilename nul=c:\filetodelete I think Andreas Mohr may already have done some work on this though?

Fix for MoveFileExA

by Gerhard W. Gruber

I just wrote a fix for a fixme located in MoveFileExA. Since this is the first time I'm writing something for wine I wanted to ask how I shall proceed now. Shall I simply add it into the CVS or does it have to go somewhere for revision? Also I don't want to submit it right now because my current fix is a bit ugly. The fix is applied for files that should be moved or deleted when windows boots after an application is installed. Currently there was a message telling the user that he has to delete/rename the specified files. Now I added some code that writes an entry in (WINECONFIG)/bootmove and (WINECONFIG)/bootdel when these functions are called. I also added some code in loader/main.c that checks if these files exists and if they do it will open them and deletes/renames the specified files. I hope this solution is acceptable. :) The only ugly thing about this is that the filenames for bootmove and bootdel are curerntly hardcoded where I need them. I don't know if there is a global space somewhere where I can add some fixed names so I did it this way for now, but this is not the best way in case the names should be changed or something and also I don't like hardecoded names. Another drawback of this approach is that it would be possible that more than one process is writing or reading at the same time there could be potential problems, so I'd like to hear some opinions if this is ok. -- Bye, Gerhard If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

This can happen with some large applications that have a lot of windows when they initially start. It takes a LOT longer to complete the initial redraw under wine than windows and this can cause the message to occur. However it will not cause an error as the CriticalSection will wait a further 5 minutes before really timing out. I have attached a patch which makes some of my applications start TEN times quicker (so no timeout message), you may want to recompile wine with this patch and see if it helps.

New to wine

by Rolf Kalbermatter

Hello I happened to find wine when researching some undocumented stuff in shell32.dll for my own shell extensions I had written. It was interesting to see how things may be done in windows. I also identified some parts in the wine shell32 which need more attention and plan to submit some patches concerning that after I have familiarized myself a little more with wine. Since I had no Linux system at my hands I tried to use the Visual C 5 compiler on my windows system to compile the shell32 dll and found some problems with that. Separate from some wine specific project definitions which need to be made for Visual C to process the wine headers Iand which I probably haven't done all properly) there was one problem with function pointer definitions. All wine headers seem to declare function pointers like <return value> WINAPI (*<function pointer name)(<parameter list>) Visual C 5 does not like the WINAPI (eg __stdcall) outside of the brackets and requires: <return value> (WINAPI *<function pointer name>)(<parameter list>) I could also not find any comprehensible ANSI C description which would care to explain what would be the correct way of function pointer declarations with a calling convention identifier. I tried to figure out how this could be solved. Declaring WINAPI to be empty and telling Visual C to use __stdcall as default gives other problems with internal wine functions without explicit calling convention declaration and with a variable argument list, which requires __cdecl. The only way I could find was to adjust the function pointer definitions in the affected headers. Of course this goes quite far and might cause problems with other compilers. As I will soon have a new development machine on which I will install Linux alongside of Windows I can fairly easily check if this would cause problems with gcc, but wine seems to care for more compilers than that and I have no idea if such a change would cause problems (it probably would anyhow :-| ). Maybe there is someone on this list which can give me an direct answer to this. Rolf Kalbermatter
