MFC TreeCtrl display problem #2
by Green, Shaun E. April 26, 2005

April 26, 2005

Sorry, I need to be more specific here. The top (very first) folder icon is the only invisible item. The text is legible. For all other nodes except the top one, folder icons and text display just fine. Shaun

MFC TreeCtrl display problem
by Green, Shaun E. April 26, 2005

April 26, 2005

I'm running an MFC app using Wine-20050419 and the very top node of a TreeCtrl is not displayed. All the children and siblings look fine, when I expand the tree. This could be another one of those 2.6.x series display bugs I've seen, but this same .exe does not exhibit this problem using Wine-20050310 so I'm back to using that for now. Shaun

DirectX 9
by Oliver Stieber April 26, 2005

April 26, 2005

Hi all, I've been moving house over the past couple of weeks which is why I dropped off the face of the earth for a while. Between moving I've managed to get a lot more DirectX 9 work done, Roller coster tycoon, Warhammer 40K, tenage mutat ninja turtles and the increadables are now the same under WINE as Windows. Evil genius, Kohan 2 and Axis and Allies have a few graphics problems but are still playable and colin McRea raley 2004 now plays ok, but there are lot of graphics issues. i expect Settlers Heritige of the King and Myst 4 will work but I haven't been able to test since I lost the demo disk. hopefully the problems with Halflife2 and world of warcraft are fixed, but again I don't have coppies to test. The majority of the interface seperation work has been completed and development is starting to stabalize, I'll try to get the patches in as soon as I've synced with winecvs, it should be a lot quicker as I'm now only going to be chasing the moving target or winecvs, previously I was chasing winecvs, and changes Alixander made to the patches I sent and my DirectX work which was a little too hectic.

Why is this important? Because the reality is that beyond the generic USB hardware (scanner, webcam, mouse, etc.), there won't be a Linux equivalent driver for a specialized piece of hardware (Guitarport, DVC100, MP3 Player, etc.) Of course, this is "easier said than done", but I think its a good starting point for the ambitious. . .

Re: Add strncpyW to unicode.h
by Jeff Latimer April 26, 2005

April 26, 2005

I have just been reading the lists and realise that strncpyW/strncpy is bad news for some reason. Please consider this patch withdrawn. Wouldn't it be better to implement strncpyW as a wrapper for memcpy? Given that all the other string functions are implemeted with the (W) version, having strncpyW missing is a bit confusing.

ComboBoxEx focus bug
by felix.nawothnig＠t-online.de April 26, 2005

April 26, 2005

Hi. I'm trying to fix PR 1114 and ran into the following problem: The listbox of WinRAR isn't updated because CBN_SELENDOK isn't sent. CBN_SELENDOK is supposed to be sent by CBRollUp() called by the LBN_SELCHANGE handler but isn't because the listbox (of the combobox) is already rolled up when LBN_SELCHANGE is received. The premature CBRollUp() is caused by a click into the combo/listbox which SetFocus()es the listbox which causes a KILLFOCUS sent to the edit control which was holding the focus before and then forwards the KILLFOCUS to it's parent (the ComboLBox) which rolls the listbox up and issues CBN_SELENDCANCEL. (This causes also a visible difference between native and builtin comctl32 - native ComboBoxEx rolls up on mouseup, ours rolls up on mousedown) So the problem is that the editbox has the focus although the listbox is rolled down - this is the case for DROPDOWN comboboxes but only possible since the listbox takes care of this special case and forwards the focus to the edit control. Since a ComboBoxEx is a DROPDOWNLIST with an edit control drawn itself the editbox has to lose the focus when the listbox is rolled down. The listbox code actually takes care of that and sets the focus to the listbox if it's not child of a DROPDOWN CB but the CBN_SETFOCUS handling in comboex.c sets the focus back to the edit control for some reason, stating: * We also need to set the focus back to the Edit control * after passing the command to the parent of the ComboEx. Putting an "case CBN_SETFOCUS:" before the CBN_SELENDOK case (making sure that the focus isn't set to the edit control after a CBN_SETFOCUS) makes WinRAR work, makes the listbox roll up on mouseup (looks exactly like native comctl32) and doesn't seem to cause any problems. However, if the ComboBoxEx receives another CBN_* (except those handled by case statements which all *don't* set the focus to the edit box) I think it will set the focus back to the edit control (although the listbox is still rolled down) and when the user then selects an item it will again roll up and send CBN_SELENDCANCEL. So would it be right to completly remove the focus-forwarding to the edit control? (Since I know nothing about Win32 programming, the comments talk about MSIE4 expecting some specific behaviour and I don't wanna cause a regression I decided to ask here first :) -flexo
