text edit box not painting text ( on form startup )
by Doug Herbert March 9, 2005

March 9, 2005

( I have posted a similiar question in wine-users, don't flame me for doing so, just thinking about this some more, perhaps it may be more a developer question ) Ok, I have a windows app, that runs under wine fine - not quite. This app has a form, with many text field edit boxes on. Quite often these edit boxes already have text values, ie. they are not empty - there is a database behind the form. Anyway, the form shows on the screen, but the text within the edit fields is invisible, until you activate each edit box component. When you leave one edit box to the next, the text remains visible. It seems like the repainting is not working, on initial startup of the form. As a way to debug this database app ( I don't have the source code for it ) I wrote a real basic form app in Visual Studio, with two edit boxes, with data in each. Now this basic app shows the text values immediately on startup. So there must be something different that the database app is not doing. I then ran wine using 'wine --debugmsg +edit programname' for both app's. I see both logging 'Creating ANSI edit control, style = xxxxx' but the style reference is different between apps - I am not sure if this the cause or not. The problem app reports style = 54011104 and the basic app shows style = 50010080. Can somebody explain what this style reference means and how do I force an app to use a certain style of edit box ? What other wine class debugmsg types should I use to narrow down the source of this problem ? Is there anyway I can check to see how the database app is repainting text within the text edit components ? Regards Doug Herbert. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Wine history draft
by Brian Vincent (C) Jan. 27, 2004

Jan. 27, 2004

I put together the following: http://users.theshell.com/~vinn/wine-history.html There's two major additions I'd like to see and I don't think I'm capable of doing them: 1) Wine history from 1994 - 1999 with a specific emphasis on changes to the architecture, design decisions that got discarded, developers who've come and gone. 2) Specific quotes from over the years. I sort of put some examples of that in the document above. Humorous quotes would be especially nice. If no one has any suggestions then I'll likely just remove the existing ones and add the information to the relevant paragraphs. I'm also thinking of adding a paragraph on the tools and programs developed for Wine. Comments / suggestions / criticisms? --------------- Brian Vincent Copper Mountain Telecom vincentb(a)coppercolorado.com

new old winetests
by Ferenc Wagner Dec. 21, 2003

Dec. 21, 2003

Hi there, I've got a more or less standalone version which can run the tests and submit the results to a CGI script, if possible. It also differentiates between libwine and cross builds. I would be grateful for a review. One week point is its integration into the build system: I hacked something together which works, but not sure at all if that's the right way. One other is that I did not notice that the tests return the number of tests failed as their exit status. It adds a couple of lines to the output... Anyway: programs/winetests directory: Cross-compiled .exe without the dsound tests: http://afavant.elte.hu/~wferi/wine/tests.zip Submission point (for now you won't see anything and submissions overwrite each other, but this must be contactable for automatic submission): http://afavant.elte.hu/~wferi/cgi-bin/winetests.cgi Pretty much deuglifying work remains, but it does something (for me). Sorry for the slow progress... Feri.

Added support for inter-process GetWindowLong on the window extra bytes
by Phil Krylov Dec. 13, 2003

Dec. 13, 2003

Hello, This change prevents IBM Translation Manager from working correctly. It has a dialog named "Export Folder" which used to contain three buttons and a tabbed notebook with various options. After this update, the pages of the tabbed notebook are no longer displayed (and created). Hope I can provide some more details like a debug log if someone will tell me which channels should be traced.

Forte Agent 2.0 (closed beta)
by Boris 'pi' Piwinger Dec. 9, 2003

Dec. 9, 2003

Hi! I am new to the list and have Linux at home since last Thursday. I am still having some problems getting Forte Agent to work under Wine, but I am involved into (closed) beta testing for Forte Agent for many years and we just got the first shot at 2.0 which will change a lot anyway. Some problems are gone, but some serious problems are new. It is the aim of Forte to have Agent run under Wine. So they asked me to invite Wine developers to join the beta testing people so both sides can see what needs to be done. People on the Agent beta list are in very close contact (I really enjoy it) to the progammer Mark Sidell, he really get's the things done we suggest:-)) If you are a Wine developer and would like to join, please let me know, I'll forward it to the guys at Forte. pi

Second, why is your static method any faster than the real CharNextA()? Third, it's not correct to replace CharNextW() with an array increment. While it is true that currently our CharNextW() simply does the same thing, it should be fixed in the long run to properly deal with Unicode Surrogate Pairs: http://uk.geocities.com/BabelStone1357/Unicode/surrogates.html In other words, I don't think the patch is acceptable. What I'd suggest: -- figure out why the real CharNextA() is slow, and try to fix that -- figure out why it takes so long to call CharNextW() -- Dimi.

WineX 3.2
by Ivan Leo Murray-Smith Dec. 1, 2003

Dec. 1, 2003

As you probably already know, Marek Lipovcan and I build RPMs of WineX for Linux Red Hat, Suse, Mandrake and compatible distros, and host them (With a bz2 of the source) on www003.portalis.it/115/ I think this is a fact that could interest a lot of people, would it be OK for me to add a link to the site in the Commercial Wine Versions section under the link to Transgaming in the wine binary download page? BTW I've just published the MDK and Suse RPM of winex 3.2, but only geeks read this list, so if you're going to try winex it you'll probably compile from source anyway.

RE: Supported Applications List - Screenshots
by Tom Dec. 1, 2003

Dec. 1, 2003

Hi, You will need two screenshots one 200x150 and one 800x600 without scaling it down if possible. I believe the characteristics should be, No clutter & make the app as prominate as possiable. You will also want to reduce the size of the 200x150 shot as much as possible (but not to the point that its ugly) as it will be on the front page. To help save on bandwith, load faster ect. I would send them to wine-patches under WineHQ: Then if Jer wants to pick them up and put them in the que they would be there.. Is this correct? Tom

cvs access && updating news items
by Brian Vincent (C) Dec. 1, 2003

Dec. 1, 2003

Guess I need to be more careful what I wish for.. Jeremy was kind enough to set me up with CVS access to the web site. As such, I won't be mailing a copy to wine-patches any more unless someone thinks it's useful. The real good news is each WWN will be posted as soon as I get done writing it and it should appear more regularly (famous last words..) Back in March I made this post: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/03/0685.html If no one objects I'd like to post more stuff to the front page news section. In some ways it will repeat items that will be covered in more detail in each WWN issue. The idea is to keep more current with Wine-related press releases and maybe generate more traffic/interest in Wine. News items would definitely include commercial products. Also, I can get away with more than Jeremy could - it would have looked kind of shady if he posted something about Codeweavers but forgot something about TG. Instead I'll just use my own judgement to figure out if it's related to Wine. If someone disagrees they can just deal with it^H^H^H^H^H^H send me an email. -Brian Vincent

There is a very simple solution: Don't run winetests.exe from the desktop, and the desktop icons will stay intact, at least on win2k3. It would be a good idea to put a warning in the readme and on the download page.

Better to get documentation for it, such as from WinCrypt.h from the SDK.

[GS]etLastError oddness
by Juan Lang Nov. 30, 2003

Nov. 30, 2003

Howdy again. I've been running into a problem where I call SetLastError() in kernel32 to indicate a particular failure to an app, but the app gets 0 when it calls GetLastError(). I call GetLastError() within kernel32 as a sanity check, and it returns what I set it to. Any clues what gives?

Resolution switches in full screen mode
by Ciprian Enache Nov. 30, 2003

Nov. 30, 2003

My first post! Here we go: To make resolution switches work OK in Wine full-screen apps (mostly games) there are a couple of SYSMETRICS that need to be kept updated (SM_CYSCREEN, SM_CXSCREEN - the vertical and horizontal resolution) There are 2 ways to do it: 1. Call SYSMETRICS_Set from x11drv when the resolution changes and update the values of SM_CXSCREEN, SM_CYSCREEN etc. Disadvantage: probably breaks DLL separation. 2. Add 2 calls to USER_Driver GetWidth and GetHeight (in x11drv) - and dynamically call those when we are asked about SM_CXSCREEN and SM_CYSCREEN. I wrote a patch for this. Any feedback?

Nice work - OpenOffice 1.1 under WINE

Nov. 30, 2003

Hello, I have just compleated a full install of OO 1.1 under WINE. No outsite packages are required to install and configure OpenOffice for Win32 under Wine. There are a few minor bugs with some of the strings in menus but I would rate it at 99%. If anyone is interested in a good hobby project a Winelib port of this would be nice to see. With a little luck we may be able to have this running for WineConf under ReactOS. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
