instance problem in CreateWindowEx{A,W,16}
by Peter Oberndorfer Dec. 28, 2003

Dec. 28, 2003

Hello Trying to run PEview.exe i found a problem. First i create a window with CreateWindowEx and pass 0 as instance. When trying to read the instance with GetWindowLong(hWnd,GWL_HINSTANCE) # Wine returns 0 as passed to the function. # Win 98 returns 0x400000 which is what GetModuleHandle( NULL ) gives me. For the CreateWindowEx{A,W} it can easily be fixed by adding this two lines at the beginning of the function: if (instance == 0) instance = GetModuleHandleW( NULL ); But For CreateWindowEx16 i'm not sure how to check. But i had a look at some code in class.c, where similar checks are performed and constructed following: if (!HINSTANCE_32(instance)) instance = HINSTANCE_32(GetModuleHandle16(NULL)); So does the code for CreateWindowEx16 look right? Greetings Peter

Hello, if i use a debugger to find the number of parameters of an undocumented function, will a patch based on this knowledge be accepted in wine ? Is this the normal way to deal with undocumented stuff? Or is it better to make a test program that prints the stack pointer before and after the call to the undocumented function? Bye Stefan

>Was anybody already working on a control panel like applet for Wine? >That would be a panel in which you could configure Wine without having >to edit the text files... There already is such a tool, winesetuptk, but it's never been included in the wine source. A new and more advanced one, called winecfg is in preparation. Look in the wine source tree in programs/winecfg. AFAIK it needs a lot of work done, so I'm sure your help will be welcome. It works within wine, and doesn't change settings yet. Ivan.

HTML Doc generation...
by Joshua Walker Dec. 28, 2003

Dec. 28, 2003

Hi all, Well, I've pulled down a CVS copy of wine and I'm currently at work overhauling the API documentataion. I do have some nitpicks. 1) I'm using the HTML documentation (make doc-html) to check my work. An issue I kind of have with this is an index.html isn't generated. This would be most trivial as all it has to be is an alphabetical link to a.html, b.html, c.html etc...unless there is an index and I'm not seeing it. Also, in the lettered indexes, a delemiter, like a <hr> tag between the API function calls and the dll names would be nice. My perl-foo is quite weak. I'll see what I can hack togeather myself... -Joshua

Initial feedback

Hello, I've just started to work my way through your Wine User Guide. I'm not a complete newbie (I've been playing with Linux for a while on a dual boot PC), but I'm certainly not a specialist. It looks like my RedHat 8.0 default installation came with Wine-20020605. I searched for the check & configuration tools you recommend on pages 16 and 17, but they were missing. I found the winecheck script, but that returned an appallingly low score of only 1.78% after I copied the default config file on a freshly created /.wine directory. So I'm now trying to figure out wether I try to get the configuration right for the existing default Wine installation or just throw it away and restart from scratch with the latest source code. So far your user guide is quite helpful, but it looks like I have a loooong way to go to a working Wine setup. Thanks for the starting text anyway, I'll let you know suggestions for improvement, Best Regards, Tom Alderweireldt

Mouse cursor doesn't switch correctly...
by Robert van Herk Dec. 27, 2003

Dec. 27, 2003

Hi folks, I may be asking for a needle in the haystack, but: While playing Warcraft III under Wine, I noticed something odd. Warcraft uses both a hand as a mouse cursor as a target (circle with cross in the middle) icon. In ordinary Win32, these two seem to switch. Under wine, however, only the target cursor is visible. That means that I as a user have to click to right below to the spot i would click intuivily, since I see a target, but the program thinks I'm using the hand as a pointer. I would like to solve this issue by creating some kinda patch, but I have no idea what might be going wrong... Do you have any clues? Grtz, Robert

Thanks (Monkey Island 4 success)
by Robert Bihlmeyer Dec. 26, 2003

After abstaining from commercial games for a couple of years I found three Windows games under the Christmas tree this time. I was a bit nervous as I no longer have a working Windows partition. I only tried one game (Esacape From Monkey Island) so far and it was a shattering success. I did have to read some Wine docs and fiddle around with settings for half an hour, but after that the game runs flawlessly in its OpenGL mode. I'm skipping further details[1] as this mail's main purpose is to *thank* you all for the great piece of work that Wine is! Merry Christmas, or whatever makes your holiday, -- Robbe [1] I'll post these to appdb.winehq.org, and of course will answer mail if anyone wants to know more.
