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.

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

Re: Software patents
by gslink Aug. 24, 2005

Aug. 24, 2005

The whole business of software patents is very likely to explode at any time. There are several software patents on cds and dvds which are so vague that it is impossible to tell exactly what is going on. The licenses to use these patents allow the company issuing the patent to control cd content and to examine it. The first time one of these companies tries to use the license to access DOD classified information there will be a resolution. The easiest way to resolve this business with Borland is to contact Borland. They may also have an interest in Wine. If they have no objection to what Wine wants to do then there is no one else to complain. They might even help Wine. Borland probably doesn't even realize that Wine exists although some of the people in Borland are probably very familiar with it. I think you will find this to be true of all big software companies such as IBM and Microsoft.

World of Warcraft
by cyrix12＠cox.net Aug. 13, 2005

Aug. 13, 2005

It's me again. The latest WoW patch (1.5.1) broke stuff again, and now I'm unable to click on anything outside of menu items in game. The issue seems to be related to camera angle, as I am able to click on items/people when I have my camera positioned just right. It's basically unplayable at the moment though. Anyway, I'd appreciate it if one of the OpenGL/D3D guys (it's most likely something that would be easily fixed by one of you) could take a look at it if they have some free time. Thanks again, Darckness

ownerdraw paint recursion in listbox
by Alexander Yaworsky Aug. 4, 2005

Aug. 4, 2005

Hello, recently i tried to install some application and it hung when i tried to select options. It uses listbox with ownerdraw items with checkboxes. When listbox is initially painted everything is ok. But when i try to select other item, an extra WM_PAINT is sent to listbox when application draws item. This causes infinite recursion. I've been implemented a simple workaround adding boolean to listbox structure but i have doubts. I briefly looked at some other controls and had not noticed similar countermeasures. Have somebody ever seen such behaviour? It would be interesting to test other controls sending WM_PAINT from ownerdraw handler but i'm short of time to do it soon. Should this workaround implemented in this way or something is wrong deeper with WM_PAINT handling? Thanks.

This option clearly belongs with the similar ones in the config file, probably even as a special case of RelayFromExclude. The fact that it doesn't work properly on startup is not a reason to invent a new mechanism, the other config options don't work on startup either, and this needs to be fixed. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

dlls/ntdll/cdrom.c breakage

Possible regressions in IE6 SP1 install
by James Liggett July 3, 2005

July 3, 2005

Hello all, I've noticed some problems installing Internet Explorer 6 SP1 with any version of WINE newer than 20050310, and that includes CVS as of yesterday. Apparently, I'm not the only one; many other are also having issues with 20050419 and 20050524. With my current setup, I get this error repeatedly at 81% during installation: fixme:thunk:__regs_CommonUnimpStub generic stub: ? It keeps looping like that on and on forever, and the install never finishes, but the UI stays responsive. I've had many issues installing IE in the past, but nothing like this. Can anyone give me any leads as to what might cause this? If it might help, I've applied Oliver Stieber's latest DX9 patch, and have tried both Wine Tools and Sidenet. Thanks very much, James Liggett

Bug in dlls/comctl32/comctl32undoc.c
by Sascha Cunz July 3, 2005

July 3, 2005

Hi, playing around a bit with wine, i found a thing that is obviously a bug. In lines 1944 and 1977 of dlls/comctl32/comctl32undoc.c the value "0x7FFF" is used to check for the boundary of a 32 bit integer. However, there should be used MAX_INT instead. By the way: Looking at current MSDN, DPA and DSA looks rather documented than "undoc" :-) Regards Sascha P.S.: Please CC me on answers as i'm not subscribed here.

The aviplay program has yet to work because the 128x128 AVI file I was using for the test in one machine (apparently) mandates a 128x128 screen resolution which is (yet) unsupported by my X configuration, and the ideal 640x480 test AVI is on the other (currently inaccessible) machine: trace:x11settings:X11DRV_Settings_AddOneMode initialized mode 128: 320x240x16 @60 Hz (XRandR) trace:x11settings:X11DRV_Settings_AddOneMode initialized mode 129: 360x200x16 @85 Hz (XRandR) trace:x11settings:X11DRV_Settings_AddOneMode initialized mode 130: 320x200x16 @85 Hz (XRandR) trace:x11settings:X11DRV_Settings_AddOneMode initialized mode 131: 320x175x16 @85 Hz (XRandR) trace:x11settings:X11DRV_Settings_CreateDriver Setting up display settings for DDRAW (XRandR) fixme:avifile:AVIFileInit (): stub!

(I could submit a patch to do it, but see next questions) * Is this the correct usage of avifil32.dll? The loading of this dll occurs via SHCoCreateInstance in shell32/shellole.c, and the comment on the usage of the LoadWithoutCOM key goes like this: //* if a special registry key is set, we load a shell extension without help of OLE32 *// bLoadWithoutCOM = (ERROR_SUCCESS == SHQueryValueExW(hKey, sLoadWithoutCOM, 0, 0, 0, 0)); Is this the correct (or even supported) usage for avifil32.dll? This LoadWithoutCOM kludge does not appear anywhere else in my registry, and it looks like it is intended for shell extensions only. What is the meaning of "shell extension" here? Does avifil32.dll qualify? (I think not, because avifil32 is concerned with AVI file handling, not with user interface. However, I might be wrong.) The last thing I want is to submit a patch, only to be rejected because it attempts to use a DLL in a way not intended by its design. So, is this approach correct (adding LoadWithoutCOM as part or regsvr32 initialization of avifil32.dll), or should an apartment actually be initialized in full COM style? Do you know if LoadWithoutCOM is used anywhere else in Wine? Alex Villacís Lasso

winecfg audio question
by Robert Reif July 1, 2005

July 1, 2005

Here is a patch that adds an audio driver configure button and tries to send a DRV_CONFIGURE message to the selected audio driver. It doesn't work because it can't find the audio driver. However, hard coding the driver name to "joystick.drv" does display the joystick config dialog so it should work. Any ideas why it doesn't work? Once this works, it should be possible to implement a real config dialog for each audio driver.

Steam Problems

I am experiencing two problems w/ Steam: 1) It's always on top of all other windows,on all workspaces of GNOME, which is very annoying, and makes it impossible to try HL2. If clicked while HL2 is on startup screen it will crash the game. 2) If you click on any game, go to Update News, it will crash every time. If there are Update News when Steam is started, it will crash (but it will work after that).

You still can only access the parts of the filesystem, which are accessible by a wine drive.

unixfs registered by default now in cvs
by Michael Jung June 30, 2005

June 30, 2005

Hi, With the current CVS version, the unixfs shell namespace extension is now registered by default at the desktop. So if you do a 'regsvr32 shell32' you will see the unix filesystem in the file dialogs. It's probably still quite buggy though. It would be cool if we could get the biggest problems sorted out before the next release. So if you have an application, which doesn't work due to unixfs, please report to wine-devel. If you don't want to use unixfs, because you don't like it or because it totally breaks your setup, you can delete the following registry-key and you should be back to the old behaviour: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\Namespace\ {9D20AAE8-0625-44B0-9CA7-71889C2254D9} This will also help you to figure out if a problem is due to unixfs. If you do 'regsvr32 shell32' again, the key will be re-created. Bye, -- Michael Jung mjung(a)iss.tu-darmstadt.de

Anybody looking for a pet Wine project?
by Mike McCormack June 30, 2005

June 30, 2005

Hi All, If anybody is looking for a small project, I've got just the thing for you! hh.exe and hhctrl.ocx are two components of the Microsoft HTML help engine. hh.exe is a small wrapper around hhctrl.ocx, which is the HTML help viewer. hhctrl.ocx embeds IE and feeds it HTML documents decoded from .chm files with itss.dll (the Infotech storage system). Implementing hhctrl.ocx would make an excellent test case for IE embedding that Jacek is working on, and for itss.dll. So most of the components are already in place (or will be soon) to make HTML help work... any takers to fill in the dots? The reward is, like most of Wine code, to say "I made that work" :) Let me know if you're interested. Mike

Wine avitools/aviplay fails with CO_E_NOTINITIALIZED for any AVI file
by Alex Villacís Lasso June 30, 2005

June 30, 2005

I recently downloaded Wine-20050628 (self contained install with fake Windows drive) and tried to use the aviplay program in programs/avitools directory. However, this program fails with this odd error trace: [bash$] WINEDEBUG=shell,ole wine ~/temp/wine/wine-20050628-patch/programs/aviplay.exe.so blur24.avi ... trace:shell:SIC_IconAppend L"c:\\windows\\system\\shell32.dll" 37 0x1126 0x112e trace:shell:SHAlloc 20 bytes at 0x65f43068 trace:shell:SIC_IconAppend L"c:\\windows\\system\\shell32.dll" -38 0x1126 0x112e trace:shell:SHAlloc 20 bytes at 0x65f430d0 trace:shell:SIC_Initialize hIconSmall=0x65f2f5e0 hIconBig=0x65f31190 fixme:avifile:AVIFileInit (): stub! trace:shell:HCR_RegOpenClassIDKey CLSID\{00020020-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} trace:shell:HCR_GetClassNameA -- trace:shell:HCR_RegOpenClassIDKey CLSID\{00020000-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} trace:shell:HCR_GetClassNameA -- Microsoft AVI Files trace:shell:SHCoCreateInstance ((nil), {00020000-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} (Microsoft AVI Files),unk:(nil), {00020020-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} (unknown),0x65cbf8fc) trace:shell:SHQueryValueExW (hkey=0x64,(null),(nil),(nil),0x65cbf338,0x65cbf330=520) trace:shell:SHQueryValueExW (hkey=0x64,L"LoadWithoutCOM",(nil),(nil),(nil),(nil)=0) trace:shell:PathFindFileNameW (L"avifil32.dll") trace:shell:SHCoCreateInstance WithoutCom=0 FromShell=0 trace:shell:HCR_RegOpenClassIDKey CLSID\{00020020-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} trace:shell:HCR_GetClassNameA -- trace:shell:HCR_RegOpenClassIDKey CLSID\{00020000-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} trace:shell:HCR_GetClassNameA -- Microsoft AVI Files err:shell:SHCoCreateInstance failed (0x800401f0) to create CLSID: {00020000-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} (Microsoft AVI Files) IID: {00020020-0000-0000-c000-000000000046} (unknown) err:shell:SHCoCreateInstance class not found in registry trace:shell:SHCoCreateInstance -- instance: (nil) AVIFileOpen: 0x800401f0 I looked up in the include files, and the value of 0x800410f0 is CO_E_NOTINITIALIZED. This is confirmed by a check in the source code that indicates that the apartment was not initialized (please correct me if I get the terminology wrong). The code for aviplay and aviinfo does not attempt to initialize any apartment prior to calling AVIFileOpen with /pclsidHandler/ set to NULL. I looked up in MSDN, and the documentation for AVIFileOpen does not suggest (to me at least), that an apartment should be initialized by the caller. This seems odd, since this means that the program should never have worked in the first place, yet the comments in the source suggest that it worked at least once. Are these avitools maintained? If so, does this result from a misconfiguration (the same one in two different machines so far), or from a genuine incomplete implementation? I would like to hear any comment on this. The original purpose of messing with aviplay was to test whether the Indeo video codecs are actually usable after being installed under Wine, but this problems affects even files not encoded with Indeo.

That's a feature ;-) We can't support loading builtins as datafiles, so the idea is that it's more likely that the app will be happy with loading the native as datafile than loading the builtin in normal mode. It does make the behavior a bit surprising I agree. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Not very useful it seams. Cheers, Paul.
