Anyway, I can't inline my patches the because Microsoft Outlook wraps the lines and I sure a lot of other people that use attachments have similar problems. So an attachment inliner might be useful nether the less...

Folks, After my latest X-series patches (currently at X6), I am aware of the following listview bugs: Yes, you read correctly: NONE. :) So I ask you for one of two things: -- bug reports or -- success stories Otherwise, I'm gonna declare listview the coolest, nicest, most huggable piece of code out there <g>. -- Dimi.

recent ListView problems
by post＠maikschulz.de Oct. 29, 2002

Oct. 29, 2002

Hi, I'm using WinMX (www.winmx.com) rather frequently, currently version 3.30. Some two weeks ago, Wine HEAD displayed the ListView components from the search and transfer tabs perfectly, now the refresh/redrawing is messed up. The application documented the changes ListView has undergone in the recent months quite well, though (I'm updating Wine from CVS almost every day). Congratulations for implementing that rather complex control (almost) perfectly! Take care, -Maik

more desperate cries for help...
by Greg Turner Oct. 29, 2002

o I don't yet know how to properly raise and catch exceptions in wine. I see some examples, but I don't see any of try/finally, of which I am a big fan and would probably like to use. Is there a guide somewhere on how to do these things? o If we want MIDL generated code to compile in winelib, we are going to have to implement the RpcTryExcept and RpcTryFinally macros. I think I heard somewhere that, these are somewhat mysterious macros, i.e., their implementation is based on compiler magic instead of normal header files... how on earth shall we deal with that? I tried grepping the psdk header files and they map to __try, __except, __finally, and so on.... does wine have those?

I try to do that more and more. However in this case there are some logical relation between the patches. Every issue winapi_check reports results in either a patch to winapi_check (winapi_check.diff) or a patch to some source file (winapi_checked.diff). So if you wish to find any possible misstake I might have done your really should read both. OK, this time they might be not so useful to read both since they are almost 100% percent independant but that is not always when I do the winapi_check update. > See past discussions for rationale. I remember. :-) Speaking of which: Why not, instead of complaining to people who doesn't (or only partly) listens, write some sort of mail "filter" the reformats the mail to one or more mail of a more appropriate format. Inline attachments and that sort of things... Then we could have a wine-patches-filtered mailing list for people that like the patches in a specific format.

I'll give this serious > thought. ok well if it is doable, i believe we should do it, why focus on the stuff that is _truely_ hard and that we may possibly not know jack shit about when we can get the _easier_ (not necessarily easy) stuff out of the way first, that will lead to a more solid codebase with which to work with. > Back to Ove: [snip] > heh, I know how that goes.
