by Detlef Riekenberg Oct. 9, 2013

Oct. 9, 2013

Hi. >From which configuration does the "ERROR_INVALID_NAME" came from, when calling GetDefaultPrinter(NULL, &size) and no Printer is installed? This Test is Present in the current "dlls/winspool/tests/info.c". MSDN told us, that we receive an "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND", if no Printer is installed: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_0hma.asp I get the "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND" on win98se, winme, w2k and win2003 in this Situation. -- By By ... ...

The status of the wintab dll
by Robert North Dec. 24, 2007

Dec. 24, 2007

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I think after the 10 or more patches to the Wintab dll that I submitted last month, I should say something about it's status... And of course thank Alexandre for applying those patches. P.S. I won't be available from the 15th for about a week or so. So, if you have any questions, I'm afraid you might have to be patient. Hope this is of interest to someone -Rob. ******Applications: Current status*********** ***In Painter 5 *Cursor pressure works. (Therefore is usable by most) *Cursor orientation is a little odd: The orientation maths needs to be re-done. *No eraser. Haven't yet cracked what enables the eraser. *Doesn't work in desktop mode: Need to map to desktop coordinates. *Repeats windows bugs where cursor looses pressure/orientation info almost bug for bug (Is this a feature? ;-) *Cannot detect pressure/orientation int the "Brush Tracking" window: The tablet context is attached to the main window, so no events get to the popup, even if they overlap. This is not how windows wintab functions. ***In Photoshop 6. *Can only get tablet data in desktop mode: This is because the tablet context is attached to the desktop. Which generates/receives no wine events outside desktop mode. * Eraser and pen pressure working. *But* to get them working, you must have 3 XInput devices listed in your XF86Config file, They need to be the last entries in the "ServerLayout" section and the following order: eraser, tablet mouse. This is a far from ideal way of specifying the devices Wintab should use :-/ I'll document this if someone can point me to a good place to put the docs. *******To Do************* 1. Look at X11 errors. There appear to be some errors that deny some users the ability to access Wintab enabled apps. (I think I know how to fix this) 2. Improve orientation data. Orientation comes in as X-Y coords (Implicit Z), and has to leave as spherical coords. This calculation needs to be re-done. 3. When tablet context is on top, let it read XInput events from all the app's top-level windows. (This simulates the fact that the context is usually designed to cover the whole screen) 4. When tablet context is attached to desktop, read XInput events from all the app's top-level windows. 5. Tests ~ --My current philosophy on tests is... ~ Use Photoshop & Painter, any formal tests ~ can be written if anyone else gets involved in patching Wintab, to avoid regressions, and conflict. **********Long term to do (Anyone interested?):********* There's a lot of work that could be done here, but what gets done and who does it probably depends upon whether anyone finds an app that needs these features. I'd love to implement these, but realistically, I don't foresee doing this unless someone hires me to do so ;) 1. Improve configuration of wintab. Wintab could probably do with some information entered into the config file, to avoid the user having to hack their Xfree86cfg file. 2. Handle Z-Order of context properly. This entails *sharing Z-Order between apps. *Working out exactly what role windows have in determining tablet context z-orders. *Allow tablet contexts that don't cover the whole screen/tablet. *Handle inter-application clipping of tablet contexts *Allow all application's windows to receive tablet events when tablet context is on top 3. Implement non-system tablet contexts (Where system cursor not moved by pen or mouse) 4. Unicodify 5. Implement various wintab extensions. 6. Implement wintab manager functions. 7. Tests. *********Unknowns********* 1. How are wintab contexts are raised lowered? Contexts have their own z-order independent of windows, and their own viewport concept, based upon the tablet's coordinate system, not that of the OS. It appears that entering, or clicking on the window the tablet context is attached to will raise/lower the context. But I haven't done much testing on this. In particular, what happens if more than one app request their tablet context is attached to the desktop? 2. How Painter detects the eraser. Have 3 possibilities i. Windows can detect an eraser, and sends specific messages. (I'm sure I've seen this, but can't work out where!) ii. Only works if tablet and cursors are named correctly. (Probably linked to wacom tablets only). iii. I've missed something 3.

comctl32.dll: Running siap and modules under wine, first steps
by Maximiliano Curia June 12, 2006

June 12, 2006

Hi, I'm trying to use a program called "siap"[1] under wine. It's the required program to pay taxes that the Argentinian government uses. So, it's quite important for the free software community in Argentina to be able to use it in a free software environment. However, I haven't heard of any real success on it, so far. I've been trying to make it run using winetools[2], and differents versions of wine. The furthest I've gone, has been with version 20050310 and all the "plugins" that winetools provides, installed. Only then, could I install the application, run it, switch between the different modules (although it worked only sometimes), but I can't really use it. There are a couple of important widgets that seem to be incompatible with wine. But as I'm not an expert neither in Windows nor in wine, the one I could really track down is a TreeView widget (from comctl32.dll) (from the main window of the program), that is not fully implemented in wine, and by using a native comctl32.dll (I tried using the win98, winme, win2k libraries) the widget would work but some of the other stuff, like switching to one of the modules wouldn't. I made a screenshot to make this clearer, the wine version[3] and the w2k version[4]. So, what should I do next? Is there some documentation of how to implement a certain Windows widget in wine? Is anybody working in this dll, or has worked on this widget? I'd appreciate any comments. Thanks, [1] http://www.afip.gov.ar/programas/siap_main.asp (spanish only) [2] http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/ [3] http://gnuservers.com.ar/~maxy/wine/siap-wine.png [4] http://gnuservers.com.ar/~maxy/wine/siap-w2k.png -- Saludos, /\/\ /\ >< `/

Grand Theft Auto... requires mscoree?
by Ivan Gyurdiev March 9, 2006

March 9, 2006

Grand Theft Auto... the never ending struggle to get it working. First I thought it was broken because of OLE...subsequently found out the installer was freezing, because of hidden message boxes. Now I've managed to install it in Desktop mode, but it dies when ran, with no output of any kind... Investigating shows: 000b:Call kernel32.SetUnhandledExceptionFilter(2027f1a8) ret=0115fbe9 000b:Ret kernel32.SetUnhandledExceptionFilter() retval=0115fb7c ret=0115fbe9 000b:Call kernel32.GetModuleHandleA(015459f4 "mscoree.dll") ret=0115ae6b 000b:Call ntdll.RtlInitAnsiString(7fcaf528,015459f4 "mscoree.dll") ret=2018d4fc 000b:Ret ntdll.RtlInitAnsiString() retval=00000000 ret=2018d4fc 000b:Call ntdll.RtlAnsiStringToUnicodeString(7fffcbf8,7fcaf528,00000000) ret=2018d55b 000b:Ret ntdll.RtlAnsiStringToUnicodeString() retval=00000000 ret=2018d55b 000b:Call ntdll.RtlInitUnicodeString(7fcaf52c,7fffcc00 L"mscoree.dll") ret=201a554d 000b:Ret ntdll.RtlInitUnicodeString() retval=00000018 ret=201a554d 000b:Call ntdll.LdrGetDllHandle(00000000,00000000,7fcaf52c,7fcaf534) ret=201a555b 000b:Ret ntdll.LdrGetDllHandle() retval=c0000135 ret=201a555b 000b:Call ntdll.RtlNtStatusToDosError(c0000135) ret=201a558a 000b:Ret ntdll.RtlNtStatusToDosError() retval=0000007e ret=201a558a 000b:Ret kernel32.GetModuleHandleA() retval=00000000 ret=0115ae6b 000b:Call kernel32.ExitProcess(00000001) ret=0115ae8f 000b:Call ntdll.LdrShutdownProcess() ret=201b03bd Looks like it doesn't like the missing mscoree.dll. I thought the .NET framework was not a core windows dll? Why would it require it? Also, installing a native dll doesn't seem to help...

Re: Small CVS-Update-Script
by Christian Lachner Feb. 12, 2006

Feb. 12, 2006

I know that there is something like my script out there but i did (again) spend some time on rewriting my own one since i like it better ;). This one is compeltely different from my first one - it works the same, but does some checks before doing anything , the code is written nicer and cleaner and the output is also very nice now :D. Have fun with this piece of code!

Window geometry problem
by Pavel Troller Nov. 28, 2005

Nov. 28, 2005

Hi! I would like to report a long lasting problem with an application, which renders its main window incorrectly in wine. The app is "iRiver caption editor" and it can be freely downloaded at http://www.iriveramerica.com/download/ce.zip . Installation of the program is easy and proceeds and the program itself runs well, but its window looks like a total mess. For a snapshot, look at http://www.sinus.cz/~patrol/ircape.png . I think it's not necessary to write more, what's wrong, simply the widgets are misplaced, incorrectly sized, the window has scrollbars, which it IMHO shouldn't have etc. The window is not resizable. It's the only app known to me which exhibits such a behaviour. I don't have a possibility to test it on a real windoze system, I don't have it. I'm about to file a bug for it, but I'm asking first here to verify that it's not an easily resolvable problem with my setup etc., and also whether a similar (or the same) behaviour isn't already registered. With regards, Pavel Troller

GTA installer - hidden message boxes [ user32 ]
by Ivan Gyurdiev Nov. 22, 2005

Nov. 22, 2005

I think I'm on the right track to figuring out why I can't get GTA to install. I thought ole was at fault, but now I suspect user32. It seems that the installer pops up various message boxes (or at least, it supposed to...but it doesn't). Then it waits for a reply, and it never receives one, because I don't see any message boxes. That's why it "freezes", imho. One box it's supposed to show is "out-of-space", if I don't have enough hard drive space for the components (which apparently I don't..when the audio is installed). Another one has empty contents at msgbox.OnInit (not sure what that means - is the text set later? - I see ignored event 0006 (setText)). I can't see the boxes in question, but I see calls to msgbox to create them. The WM_SHOWWINDOW event is propagated down to DefWindowProc, where it is blocked. In "custom install" mode, the out-of-space box shows up, but the second "mystery box" doesn't. In "complete install" mode I see neither box. If I free up enough hard drive space, it still fails, because of this second box that I can't see. More detail here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3108

You should *never* have to do this if you use the right functions (isspaceW, etc). Is there some other bug lurking that made this change necessary? -- Rob Shearman

DirectDrawEnumerateExW calls DirectDrawEnumerateExA
by Saulius Krasuckas Nov. 8, 2005

Nov. 8, 2005

DirectDrawEnumerateExW (dlls/ddraw/main.c) calls DirectDrawEnumerateExA, which uses ddraw_driver struct (dlls/ddraw/ddraw_private.h), which has a member DDDEVICEIDENTIFIER2 struct (include/ddraw.h), which is defined this way: typedef struct tagDDDEVICEIDENTIFIER2 { char szDriver[MAX_DDDEVICEID_STRING]; char szDescription[MAX_DDDEVICEID_STRING]; LARGE_INTEGER liDriverVersion; DWORD dwVendorId; DWORD dwDeviceId; DWORD dwSubSysId; DWORD dwRevision; GUID guidDeviceIdentifier; DWORD dwWHQLLevel; } DDDEVICEIDENTIFIER2, * LPDDDEVICEIDENTIFIER2; As this struct keeps base information about a driver and it uses char strings, I guess %Subject% cross call should be marked invalid in the wiki. Right?
