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, /\/\ /\ >< `/

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

Has anyone even gotten it to start or even play? James Liggett

Release plans
by Alexandre Julliard Oct. 11, 2005

Oct. 11, 2005

Folks, I just released 20050930, this should be considered the pre-0.9 release, so please give it some good testing. In particular, please test the things that new users will encounter first, like the automatic .wine creation and winecfg. Even if you normally build from source, please for once try the binary package for your distro and check if you spot anything the packager is doing wrong. Bugzilla has had a good cleanup lately (thanks guys!) and most of the irrelevant bugs have been closed, so please have a look at the remaining ones to see if there's anything you know how to fix. We also still need many documentation updates, so please consider helping with that. If you have scripts that handle releases, now is the time to ensure they can cope with a version number not in the YYYYMMDD format... If all goes well, and if the documentation is updated by then, the real 0.9 should be released in a couple of weeks. In the meantime we should consider ourselves in a code freeze, so please don't submit new features or large changes, only small bug fixes will be allowed in. Thanks everybody for your help, it has been a long trip but we are getting there... -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Oct. 9, 2005

Hi, It seems there is something wrong with DosDefineDevice. If we consider a drive declared as F: -> /mnt/win_e Remapping the drive F: to G: with this function leads to F: -> G: with G: non defined. This makes, in my case, my app to break all my drives assignement. It's seems the code lacks a level of inderection as shown below: Logical drive -> Real drive -> unix dir Any idea? Bye, Christian

Office97 Install issue
by Steven Edwards Oct. 9, 2005

Oct. 9, 2005

Hi, As some of you might know I really would like to see Office 97 be able to at least install and parts of it sort of work on Wine 1.0. One of the things I hope to contribute to the 1.0 effort is fixing this. I'm wondering if anyone could give me a pointer or two as to the problem. There are two issues with Winehq that prevent Office 97 from installing and I need help with issue #2 if anyone has ideas. 1. Wine needs to have the "PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE"="x86" string in the Key in HKLM\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment On CrossOver we are hard setting this (and we install in a Win98 bottle so it does not really matter) but for Winehq we need to properly detect and report the CPU due to Winehq default mode being Win2k. I'll try to make 30mins or so in the next couple of weeks to submit a patch that does this as I think I know where it needs to be implemented. 2. Wine is not properly handling some of the default values in key HKLM\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment If you notice from the diff CrossOver uses "%SystemRoot% where the default Wine system.reg had the values hard coded. My wifes Win2k box has these values set with "%SystemRoot% also. Is there a reason that Winehq is setup this way? Should they strings in the wine.inf just be changed for those values? With the default Winehq registry you get a message box error that says something along the lines of "This setup program is not supported under your version of Windows" -[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment] 1126302066 -"ComSpec"="c:\\windows\\system32\\wcmd.exe" -"PATH"="c:\\windows\\system32;c:\\windows" -"ProgramFiles"="c:\\Program Files" -"SYSTEMROOT"="c:\\windows" -"TEMP"="c:\\windows\\temp" -"TMP"="c:\\windows\\temp" -"USERPROFILE"="c:\\windows\\profiles\\sedwards" -"windir"="c:\\windows" -"winsysdir"="c:\\windows\\system32" +[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Environment] 1126301456 +"ComSpec"=str(2):"%SystemRoot%\\System\\wcmd.exe" +"PATH"=str(2):"%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\\System" +"PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE"="x86" +"SystemDrive"="C:" +"SystemRoot"="C:\\Windows" +"TEMP"=str(2):"%SystemRoot%\\Temp" +"TMP"=str(2):"%SystemRoot%\\Temp" +"USERPROFILE"="C:\\windows\\profiles\\sedwards" +"windir"=str(2):"%SystemRoot%" +"winsysdir"=str(2):"%SystemRoot%\\System" So if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate feedback.

RH8 spec for 20050830

Can someone who understands wine build issues review this RPM spec file for me, please? The RPMs for Redhat 8 are getting pretty long in the tooth on the Wine downloads page... dating back to May 24. I wanted to build a source RPM to work with, so I modified the 20050524 spec file for 20050830. It seems that there are changes in fonts and documentation. I removed some lines that were keeping rpmbuild from working. But I feel like I am tampering with issues beyond my grasp. Do the attached changes to the spec file look ok (temporarily marked with "todo")? Any gotchas? Anything missing?

Organizing more Wine bug triage
by dank＠kegel.com Oct. 5, 2005

Oct. 5, 2005

Wine's bugzilla has 375 unconfirmed bugs reported since the beginning of the year. A fair number of these are worth fixing, but don't have good recipes for how to reproduce them. I think it's time to make a concerted effort to recruit more Wine users to help triage bug reports, so wine developers can spend less time sorting through poor bug reports. As a first stab, I've created a web page, http://kegel.com/wine/qa describing bug triage and giving easy steps for people who are interested in helping. Please have a look. Comments and suggestions for improvement welcome. Thanks, Dan

Problem Resolve

Hi, I had a problem with Wine20050830 compilation. Error: error parse before "BerElement"; in lines: 289, 290, 322, 323 in "wine/dlls/wldap32/winldap_private.h" file. In file winldap.h I found declaration of BerElement type. This header is not included in winldap_private.h. I put declaration of BerElement type to winldap_private.h and it resolved the problem. I tried add line: #include "winldap.h" to winldap.h too, but it makes double declaration errors. I'm sorry if my English is horrible :) Well I hope my letter will be helpful. Perhaps this error appear only on my computer (?) :D Fun of your Wine.

headless question, and IPC question
by Ken Larson Oct. 3, 2005

Oct. 3, 2005

I'm using wine to access a particular proprietary DLL (I don't have the source for it) on Linux. The way I'm doing this is to write an EXE that wraps the DLL, and makes all of the functions available via socket request and response messages. My linux program has access to the functions of the DLL by sending socket messages to the EXE running under wine. 2 questions: 1. My DLL/EXE uses no calls to pop up graphical windows, so theoretically no display is needed. Of course wine needs a display because it does not know that an EXE won't make such calls. Is there a way to run wine with a null or dummy display - so that it is effectively running headless? 2. The sockets trick was the simplest way I could figure out how to do IPC between a linux process and a wine process. However, is there are any better or faster way to do this? As far as I know I can't use winelib because I don't have the source to the DLL. Thanks, Ken Larson

Single sign-on SoC project summary
by Kai Blin Oct. 3, 2005

Oct. 3, 2005

Hi folks, Dimi asked me to give a little status about the single sing-on summer of code project I was doing to the list, and I'm happy to oblige. Applications running on win32 can use the Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) to handle authentication via a number of protocols, like kerberos, NTLM, Negotiate and Schannel. My project was to implement the NTLM and Negotiate protocols, using Andrew Bartlett's GENSEC implementation from samba4. Samba offers a command line tool to provide NTLM ( and, in samba 4, Negotiate ) style authentication for other programs, so my task was to get wine to use ntlm_auth. Things that got done: --------------------- * Base64 codec ntlm_auth was first designed as a helper for squid. Squid talks to it's helpers using base64, wine just had an encoder for it. * Code to run ntlm_auth ntlm_auth doesn't store all the state information needed for the protocol handshake, so some wrapping code was needed. * Code that implements the security support providers for NTLM and Negotiate. To make the sspi functions behave properly, the api functions have to do the right thing. Work still left to do: ---------------------- * Getting the code into cvs: While most of the code was already submitted to the wine-patches list, a lot of it was still in need of improvements. I'm currently working on this. * Getting more of the stubs to actually do something While the code that exists so far can handle the basic NTLM and Negotiate authentication, a lot of functions defined in the API still are stubs. Conclusion: ----------- As soon as the code is in cvs, wine should be able to do basic NTLM and Negotiate authentication, server and client side. Client side just requires ntlm_auth, server side also requires samba to be set up correctly, and when using samba 3, access to the winbindd named pipe for the user running wine. Real use of this code seems limited, as most use cases also use the schannel protocol, which isn't implmented yet. Juan Lang is working on this, but needs to get more of crypt32 implemented for that. I will continue to work on this, there's still a lot of providers to go. I would like to use this summary to extend my thanks to Google and Chris DiBona for getting the whole Summer of Code set up. Also, I'd like to thank you guys, particularly Juan, for the help I have recieved so far. It's really fun to work with the project, I hope to keep doing so for a while.

I have a question though what should I call this release in bugzilla? 20050930 20050930 pre beta 0.9.0 0.9.0 pre beta (20050930) other suggestions???? Obviously we should decide now how our release nameing structure is going to be called and I did not want to just put it in without some feedback... -- Tony Lambregts

Re: [Bug 3148] Mouse: multi-file "selection" & drag behavior broken

Looks like someone else is having this problem. I've tried looking at listview.c and the treeview equivalent as well, but I can't made heads or tails of it. I have no experience with C. Anybody on this list make any changes to listview or treeview in the last few months?

WSACleanup() again?
by JustFillBug Oct. 1, 2005

Oct. 1, 2005

I saw the bug described in: http://winehq.com/hypermail/wine-users/2001/01/0516.html happened again to a program I was trying to use. At least the behavior is the same. I have no access to the source code. It seems the problem was fixed in revision 1.42 of socket.c. But now at 1.139, WSACleanup again return 0 forever on repeating calls.

Documentation on DIBENG.DLL exported functions
by Alex Villacís Lasso Sept. 30, 2005

Sept. 30, 2005

Could somebody please point me to an online documentation on the functions exported by DIBENG.DLL and how an userspace application could use them? I want to evaluate whether a possible DIB engine for Wine could use the DIBENG.DLL API. I googled and all I find are reports of GPFs involving DIBENG.DLL. Same issue when searching MSDN. Of course, DIBENG.DLL might not be the best model to implement for a DIB engine, so I wait for suggestions. I was planning on writing a C program that would load DIBENG.DLL via LoadLibrary() and call its functions in order to build tests for it. Alex Villacís Lasso
