Winword, StorageImpl_Commit, Crossover and Wine
by Uwe Bonnes April 29, 2003

April 29, 2003

Hallo, running MS Word 2000 with builtin dlls doesn't allow to write files, because of at least StorageImpl_Commit and WriteFmtUserTypeStg still stubs? Does Crosover Office still require the native OLE dlls or has it some implementation?

Ah OK. Minor problem. :-( Why can't they make Qt/Win32 GPL:ed as well with the exception of the drawing primitives that have to become LGPL:ed. They released Qt/X11 under the GPL, since the GPL according to their interpretation will protect them from "free commercial use". Why not release Qt/Win32 under the GPL as well? > Bah.

Well, the point is that i'm pretty sure that both Trolltech (and the KDE project) would very much like to Qt themed Wine in order to compete in the desktop market so I'm sure it would be possible to get some sort of "deal" somehow. Perhaps just releasing the Qt drawing primatives implementation under the LGPL would be a solution that would be acceptable to all parties. I can't see Trolltech losing very much from doing that. No work at all (except convincing Trolltech to do that).

bugs.winehq.com

April 29, 2003

Hi all, I am not sure if this is the place to disscuse it but I have mailed bugs(a)winehq.com and web-admin(a)winehq.org and have yet to get a replay So my question is: "Am I the only one who can not retrive his password?" I mean it's saying mail sent and stuff but I am not getting it. I tried it a few times doing the last few days and I do not get any mail. I think it can be becouse of some configuration on the new server or it can be my sf.net filltering (it claimed to have one when I first registered a long time ago but with no details)....

Well, I can't see why Trolltech (the owners of Qt) would object. Presumably the main reason that you would want a Qt skin for Windows application running under Wine is that you run several other Unix applications using Qt... So I can't see why they wouldn't give us special permission if we for some reason would need it... The alternative a GTK skinned only Wine would not benefit them at all, quite the opposite.

FindWindow timeouts
by Mike Hearn April 29, 2003

April 29, 2003

Hi, After chatting to some people on IRC about windows message handling, I remembered a bug I hit where a frozen window could kill everything because FindWindow sends a message to every window with no timeout (to get the window text). Is this right? Wouldn't it be better to make FindWindow more robust by sending messages with a timeout so if one window in an app (or anothe process) has frozen, it doesn't kill the caller? thanks -mike

Re: Crash in BeginPaint running Sams Photofact index, a free VB app
by Dan Kegel April 29, 2003

April 29, 2003

That did it. And yes, the workaround was needed in EndPaint, too; I tried Mike's patch first, and added the EndPaint workaround myself before I noticed Dmitry's patch. The app isn't very functional, but at least it doesn't crash. I encourage anyone who is working on Visual Basic compatibility to give http://www.servicesoftware.com/sams/SAMSINDEX.exe a spin.
