MS' hidden API
by Zhang Shu July 9, 2002

July 9, 2002

Dear wine developers, I have one question on the development of wine. Long(one or two years) ago I've heard that Microsoft got some hidden APIs in their products of various windows, and they use these APIs in their own applications. I wonder if this is still a problem on their recent product like windows XP. If it is, I guess wine will not be able to run such MS applications which uses hidden APIs. Is this right? And, is wine designed(or its goal is) to run all applications(including MS product and non-MS product) that runs on windows? Please forgive me if this problem has appeared in the past. I just joined this list a couple of days ago. Thank you. Regards, -- Zhang Shu

I have not used Notes R6 extensively but based on my understanding of the Notes R4 - R5 code, the mail content area is a Notes Rich Text field, which is implemented internally to Notes. It's not a Windows control therefore will not be responsive to code that hooks into Windows controls. Notes is localized for many countries,including, I think, Chinese, although the Notes R6 Beta is probably US-English only. I suggest you experiment with a copy of Notes R5 with Chinese localization. If you need technical details on how localized versions of Notes handle alternate keyboard input methods, let me know and I'll see what I can dig up.

MAX_PATH mess fix
by Steven Edwards May 1, 2002

May 1, 2002

It seems mingw tries to include stdlib.h after windef.h in the build process and that was the result of the warnings/error. By making this change I don't have to change any of the other headers That depend on MAX_PATH (winnls,wingdi) by adding stdlib.h in them. I don't know if its right by the wine project standards but now I can compile 90% of the wine dll sources without warrnings/errors from stupid MAX_PATH. If someone has a better way please cvs diff -u me =) Thanks Steven Changelog: Fix the MAX_PATH mess under Mingw.

wineconsole (Eric?) problem
by Ann and Jason Edmeades May 1, 2002

May 1, 2002

Hi again, Another bug I have spotted can be demonstrated clearly by dir /s /w on wcmd on a small set of directories a couple of times (once my patch for /w is on). The first time it writes to the screen without scrolling and all is ok, the second time as it scrolls, it misses off 'Total files listed' and 'bytes free' two lines near the bottom. Basically the wineconsole is not being updated 100% correctly and skips some lines. Looking closely at the wineconsole code (by dumping out the screen at each event) I have worked out what is going on, but am not 100% sure about the 'proper' way to fix it. The problem is the console routines generally generate a sequence of events (assume an n line screen) v-scroll(x) (Make the xth line of the buffer the top line) update(x+n, x+n) (Write to the new bottom line of the screen) In the failing case I see v-scroll(x) (Make the xth line of the buffer the top line) update(x+n, x+n) (Write to the new bottom line of the screen) update(x+n+2, x+n+3) (Write beyond the bottom line of the screen) Although the data is retrieved correctly, it never gets displayed (An invalidaterect appears to happen) A simple way of avoiding this is to update wineconsole as follows: case CONSOLE_RENDERER_UPDATE_EVENT: Trace(1, " update(%d,%d)", evts[i].u.update.top, evts[i].u.update.bottom); /* test fix - Force updates to occur on visible screen */ if ((data->curcfg.win_pos.Y+data->curcfg.win_height) < evts[i].u.update.bottom) { Trace(1, " Forced vscroll \n"); data->fnScroll(data, evts[i].u.update.bottom - data->curcfg.win_height, FALSE); data->fnPosCursor(data); } else if (data->curcfg.win_pos.Y > evts[i].u.update.top) { Trace(1, " Forced vscroll2 \n"); data->fnScroll(data, evts[i].u.update.top, FALSE); data->fnPosCursor(data); } WINECON_FetchCells(data, evts[i].u.update.top, evts[i].u.update.bottom); The question is, is this correct, or is the server generating incorrect events, is the refresh not occurring properly etc? Thoughts please? Regards, Jason jason @ the-edmeades.demon.co.uk

Bugzilla: A Call to Arms
by Andriy Palamarchuk May 1, 2002

May 1, 2002

We already had discussion on wine-devel about importance of polishing Wine, making a set of applications to work very well. Cruicial in this process is prioritizing of the issues, work distribution between developers. The companies already have internal testing and bug fixing process. Of course, each company has their own product-specific work, but most of the problems are general for Wine. I suggest to share this work more actively using Bugzilla. Recently there was some work done in cleaning the issues database and it is in pretty much usable condition. To start using bugzilla more actively I suggest following steps: 1) define subsystem/direction owners. The owners will get their system-specific bugs. They won't necessary fix the bugs themselfs, but will have complete picture about all the issues in their subsystems and coordinate the bug fixing. Developers, please let me know your areas of expertese. I can overview Wine applications. 2) more formally define process of bugs handling and use this process. There is no high qualification needed to filter out bad bug reports, duplicates, request users for more information, attach relay trace to the bug, etc, etc. Result - developers will have to spend less time on discussion trivial bugs with users, will have better bug reports to work on, users will be more involved with more active feedback. Some users are very cooperative and some bug reports are really excellent! I see that Tony Lambregts, Michael Cardenas, others do a great work with the Bugzilla database. I'm also going to contribute some time for this. 3) Prioritize bugs. This is, probably, part of (2). Some bugs, while relatively easy to fix provide very big value for the end user. Often developers do not choose such issues to work on, exactly because these issues do not present challenge to them. BTW, I do not see a field "Priority" in the bugs entries. 4) Ask users to submit there problems in Bugzilla. Submitting Bugzilla report allows us to involve users more actively, persist their bug reports. Bugzilla is a more scalable approach than using mailing list only. Of course we still will discuss bugs on the mailing lists, bug big part of communication will be unloaded. There is a lot to do and discuss. For me the goal is to have this process not worse than in Mozilla project. This is impressive: http://webtools.mozilla.org/miscstats/ http://mothra.mozilla.org/webtools/miscstats/ I also like their bug report form: http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bugzilla-helper.html And this is for 1 application only! I'm sure Wine can generate much bigger volume of bug reports ;-) Look forward for your comments. Andriy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

cups support apparently broken
by Michael Cardenas April 30, 2002

April 30, 2002

Hello all. Apparently wine's cups support is broken. With our old version of wine, wine would correctly detect the current cups printer, but it couldn't actually print to it. So, you would see the print dialog, but when you hit the print button nothing happened. Now, I have cups installed and a build of yesterday's cvs and when I try to print wine tells me that there are no printers installed and I should "point to settings on the windows start menu, click printers" and add a printer. Anyone have any ideas on how this broke? thank you michael -- michael cardenas lead windows compatibility engineer lindows.com "Be the change you want to see in the world" -Mahatma Gandhi

default windows version
by Insyde April 30, 2002

April 30, 2002

Hi, I had a problem loading a second program under wine. I called the first program with: wine --winver win2000 pgm1 I input a password and it wirtes a data file, unloads itself and loads a second program. But there was an error every time the second program was to start that send me to the debug screen. So I found misc/version.c line 196 that the default value to wine load a program was WIN31, so I changed it to NT2K. Is there any problem doing this? If not, why is the default still WIN31? Thanks, Ricardo.

[Help]: Notes Client on WINE with XIM (Chinese/Japanese Input)
by leanne April 30, 2002

April 30, 2002

Dear all, We are trying to use WINE (22/4/2002 version) to run Notes Client r6 with Chinese/Japanese Input. XIM is started successfully, but in some widgets we could not input Chinese/Japanese. Please find the screenshot here (http://www.thizlinux.com/~leanne/notes.png) We are forwarding a mail (with Chinese) in Notes Client. Chinese can be displayed but NOT input in the mail content area (After "Subject" line). What type of widget it is so that we could fix it? We can type Chinese on "Address" line (listbox). p.s. We can display and input Chinese/Japanese in Notepad.exe without any problems. Yours, Leanne

By the way the cups user manual seems to imply that it supplies both lp and lpr commands. Of course we should probably send jobs to cups via the cupsPrintFile() api but I guess that can wait. Huw.

There's no such thing as a default version ;-) Wine figures it out from the DLLs the program uses if no version is forced. Hmm, come to think of it: Unless we actually pass all wine cmdline parameters (--winver, --managed etc.) on to the wine child process (not sure about that right now, I think we do), the new process won't use the same forced winver value as the parent process uses. Is this a problem ? Should this info be passed to the wineserver to globalize it ? Oh, BTW: I'll rename defaultWinVersion to cmdlineWinVersion.
