Re: Trackbar size fixes

by Mike Hearn

Odd, I remember doing some work on the trackbar a few months ago (it was pretty broken). Testing against the native comctl32 from Windows 98 showed that I got it pretty close - do you have before/after screenshots for this patch? Perhaps the trackbar looks different in 98 vs 2K. -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ - Malvern Technology Center

I was thinking he was asking about using the examples as kind of a guideline to this does that, etc (writing his own microsoft free code). Of course it is illegal to directly copy code from the MSDN or make any sort of derivative of that code, as the code is owned by MS, just like the code for say shell32.dll is. By the way, the sentence just before this one was basically said (albeit in a different way) in my original reply.. ===== -- Dustin Navea Minor Contributor, winehq.com Buzilla Janitor, bugs.winehq.com Network Admin, irc.blynk.net (down) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Profiling wine

by Jeremy White

Hey Mike, Charles and Mike did a fair amount of work to submit a patch to Wine to enable a profiling mode. Sadly, Mike is on vacation this week, so i'm not sure if he's around to help out. But if you look through the archives (I think Mike mailed it in), you should find it. We'd really like to have other folks using this code...

Re: how cards.dll works

If someone does develop it in our tree then I am sure Alexandre will accept the patch as he didnt seem to have any problem with the idea of implementing that dll. Just the method you used. I have not been able to get your GUID generation program to build right in the ReactOS build system as the w32api headers are incompleate and our system kind of sucks atm. Once this is fixed we can merge that also. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

WineHQ website (lostwages) url changes

by Jeremy Newman

I spent some time today working on the lostwages codebase. I finally discovered how to get PHP to see the PATH_INFO without getting a 404. Seems you need to put "AllowPathInfo On" in the .htaccess. In doing so, I can get rid of the ugly ?page=about urls and instead use /site/about. I updated .htaccess to catch the old urls and put them to the new style. NOTE to template authors, if you want to put a relative link in the site from now on, use {$root} to have the site put the correct path in for you. For example, <a href="{$root}/site/about">About Wine</a>. This also works for images: <img src="{$root}/images/foo.jpg"> -- Jeremy Newman <jnewman(a)codeweavers.com> CodeWeavers, Inc.

mailing lists down 9am - 7pm CST

by Jeremy Newman

The WineHQ mailing lists were down today. There was a message in the queue that caused mailman to bomb. I found and removed the message (it was a spam). I also stayed in late and upgraded our Mailman to ver 2.0.13 from ver 2.0.0. Let me notice if you notice anything unusual happening in the next few days. Also, I am considering putting a SpamAssassin filter into our Mailman using info from this page: http://www.daa.com.au/~james/articles/mailman-spamassassin/ Anyone against this idea? -- Jeremy Newman <jnewman(a)codeweavers.com> CodeWeavers, Inc.

Well it's certainly illegal to directly copy code from the MSDN examples; please don't do that. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

WM_SIZE is usually sent due to a change in the window size in order to notify window and allow it to do some necessary job. Sending a bogus WM_SIZE might easily mess the thing up since the size you are sending might be not a real window size. -- Dmitry.
