what's with WS_OVERLAPPED?
by Medland, Bill Aug. 14, 2002

Aug. 14, 2002

(Regarding the whole issue of windows reparenting) MSDN keeps going on about windows with the WS_OVERLAPPED style. However surely (since WS_OVERLAPPED=0) every window has such a style these days. Is there something I don't understand? Bill

Am I the only one getting replies from RealNetworks?

Aug. 14, 2002

I am getting messages from RealNetworks corresponding to each of my posts to wine-devel. I presume "Mysore Jaisimha" is on the mailing list but no longer works there. Can we do anything about it or do I just throw the messages away? Bill

I mean that (statically, according to Spy++, when the popup form is active) 1. The ThunderRT6FormDC which "is" the form has style WS_OVERLAPPED, no parent (i.e. the desktop) and owner is the ThunderRT6UserControlDC 2. The ThunderRT6UserControlDC which, I believe, "is" the ocx, has style WS_OVERLAPPED and no owner, but its parent is an ATL window 3. That ATL window's parent is another ATL window 4. That second ATL window has no parent. (So, by generations I am talking about the static parent relationship, independent of how it came to be; c.f. old people adopting young ones resulting in skipped generations) > > -- > Dmitry. > > > And I have just noticed the lie in MSDN. It says (Platform SDK - Windows User Interface - Owned windows) that once the window has been created, with an owner, you cannot change the owner. That has to be wrong. A propos. I think there is a related error in CreateWindowEx. At least it disagrees with MSDN. If passed a parent If this is a child set parent to the paremt passed in and leave the owner 0 else set the parent to the desktop and the owner to the GA_ROOT ancestor of the window passed in. Surely it should be (according to MSDN) if passed a parent if style includes WS_OVERLAPPED or WS_POPUP assert style does not include WS_CHILD if the parent is itself WS_OVERLAPPED or WS_POPUP parent is desktop and owner is the parent passed in else if the parent is a WS_CHILD then parent is desktop and owner is the GetAncestor(parent, GA_ROOT) else assert false? else assert WS_CHILD owner is 0 and parent is as specified Comments? One datum of use. In our particular case this fits; the ThunderRT6FormDC is WS_OVERLAPPED with no parent. Its owner is the ThunderRT6UserControlDC which also is WS_OVERLAPPED but has a parent. Bill

My apologies. It seems make clean did not remove some .o files. Manual removal has allowed me to continue the build process. However, can someone please answer my first question?

It correctly shows paerent/owner for my test application playing with SetParent/SetWindowLong. It seems that Windows always sets 0 in the parent field if the parent is desktop. Even after explicit SetParent(GetDesktopWindow()) or SetWindowLong(GWL_HWNDPARENT, GetDesktopWindow()) GetWindowLong(GWL_HWNDPARENT)/GetWindow(GW_OWNER) return 0 in my tests. > > A bit of investigation of Wine source revealed that some places use > > GetAncestor(hwnd, GA_PARENT), while others use GetParent(hwnd). > > And, in the case of WIN_CreateWindowEx, GetAncestor (hwnd, GA_ROOT) > > > Since > > their behaviour is different in respect of top level and > > child windows, > > some major clean up in that area in Wine is needed. > > Careful. > > In our particular case, according to Spy++ the owner of the ThunderRT6FormDC > is a third-generation window. viz. the actual window requested, not one of > its ancestors. > > i.e. I see the call to SetWindowLong (30056 (The ThunderRT6FormDC), -8, > 10046 (The ThunderRT6UserControlDC)) > > I guess an important point here is that in our case the Visual Basic is an > OCX sitting inside a container and so the ThunderRT6UserControlDC is not > first generation. Now I don't understand your terminology. parent - child - sibling are the termings in the Windows world. Who of them was born earlier matters only when Z order and visibility are taken into account (and can be easily changed). -- Dmitry.

Even if the window is not in fact a child? Please excuse my ignorance here; I am still a little shaky on terminology. Surely if it is a top level window then its parent is the desktop and always will be.

Careful. In our particular case, according to Spy++ the owner of the ThunderRT6FormDC is a third-generation window. viz. the actual window requested, not one of its ancestors. i.e. I see the call to SetWindowLong (30056 (The ThunderRT6FormDC), -8, 10046 (The ThunderRT6UserControlDC)) I guess an important point here is that in our case the Visual Basic is an OCX sitting inside a container and so the ThunderRT6UserControlDC is not first generation. > > -- > Dmitry. > > > > Hope this helps.

Hi What is the easiest way to view/print the wine-help files that are in sgml? I fiddled around with sgmltools but couldn't get a useful output (I guess I just gave up too early, don't want to consider the other option :). What do others use for viewing them? Thanks Fabi
