Any advice on how to debug this?
by Medland, Bill July 12, 2002

July 12, 2002

Any suggestions would be appreciated. The application runs reasonably with builtin comctl32/commctrl but there are some alignment issues which I suspect might be corrected by using the native one. However when I try running with native ones I get two debug consoles and the application continues. (Not a problem). Basically the main program starts two other programs as OLE servers and they load and init commctl32.dll. The stack traces in both cases are similar and indicate to me that the processes have ended up executing data. However by the time I get to disassemble the code referred to by the backtrace the code isn't there any longer. What's my best bet for tracking this down? I've tried winedbg with as many BreakOn.. set as possible but the processes seem to disappear from under the winedbg processes Bill

HEADER order and index issue
by Medland, Bill July 11, 2002

July 11, 2002

Dear all Before I spend days trying to find out, can someone tell me straight off? There is a problem with the comctl32 header control and I want to know which is the correct solution. The result is that columns af the associated list control are sometimes put in the wrong place. Here's why! It is a known issue that the first column of a listctrl is left-justified. Therefore the Microsoft-accepted way to proceded with the list control is to add a blank left column, add the columns after that with whatever justification is desired and then delete the first column. Assume we aren't doing any clever column reordering. As the columns are added their headers' orders are equal to the indices. But then the first is removed. When we get to HEADER_Refresh it goes to display them in the correct order; good. However there is an implicit assumption in the code that given n columns the orders there will be one column with order 0, one with 1, ... one with n-1. So 1. Is that assumption invalid? If so then I'll change the code to display the columns in the specified order, assuming that the orders may not be sequential. 2. Is that assumption valid? If so then I'll change it so that deleting a column will modify the orders of the remaining ones. Bill

Re: Notepad - removed help menu items

I wouldnt recommend this as ReactOS will be adopting some of the wine/programs including help. Now that Eric P has fixed winehlp I'm sure we can find someone sooner or later that will write a help file for this and other applications at some point.

Bad exe
by admiral coeyman July 11, 2002

July 11, 2002

Group, While running tests at my end, I found an odd problem that seems to have developed out of the blue. It seems that only 32 bit dos executables will now run on my system. All of the 16-bit executables that I've been using for the past few years generate 'bad exe' errors. I've redownloaded most of the tree and nothing has fixed this problem. Before I look too deep, is this a problem that anybody else has? It's possible that my local tree has been damaged or that my development tools are not right. God Bless, --Robert 'Admiral' Coeyman [I've had vga planets 4.0 running.] -- --- May you live as long as you wish and age but a single day. http://www.dotguy.net/ admiral(a)corner.net Webmaster/ Linux Administrator Computer Co-Op/CornerNet

You could run a trace on opengl and see if it's actively running wglSwapLayerBuffers, or other things as well (Create/Destroy context). Did you use the no-cd patch? If nothing comes up with the opengl trace, then you might not be getting past the CD check. Does it minimize the game? This might be interesting if its the case. Please look here where I explain a problem about this: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-bugs/2002/06/0422.html Basically I said, sometimes opengl apps minimizes when other windows (like a messagebox) become active, and after restoring the opengl window, it produces no output. Here is another interesting note: some people have the same trouble with the movies on real windows like we do on wine. I suggested to rename the movies folder to them, and guess what it worked! But what happens after they do this? the game minimizes, so it's possible this is happening. Here are some references to the problem: http://www.battle.net/forums2/opensupport/posts/ia/27048.shtml http://www.battle.net/forums2/opensupport/posts/fa/27045.shtml Other than that I don't know. I sent Andreas Mohr a more detailed howto, but I pretty much covered everything already. Jesse

Might help. But that means I would have to fix yet more of the bugs in comctl32.dll.so ;-( Actually what I was doing was trying to run the native comctl32 to see if it corrected the visual bugs so that I would know that it was within that dll. I'll see what I can do about fixing them in a bit. Bill

winedbg font selection?
by Carl Sopchak July 10, 2002

July 10, 2002

Is there a way to set the font used by winedbg? The font that it is using on my machine is too small with the monitor resolution set at 1600x1200 (which I want to keep). I'd like to bump the size up a few points... Thanks for the help, Carl
