Empowering QA volunteers to add keywords...

Sept. 24, 2005

I'd like to help out too, to get the bugzilla database managed a bit. I think you have to contact dustin navea; i've sent him a mail but got no response. Anyone suggestions? Regards In the OpenOffice.org QA project, volunteers who have proven themselves by adding helpful comments to a few bug reports can then request to be given the ability to change all fields of a bug report (see http://qa.openoffice.org/helping.html) IMHO Wine might want to try that out, too. I hereby request those privileges ;-) I'm doing some bug triage, and I'd like to be able to add e.g. keyword 'download' to http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2632 but I'm not suitably empowered. Who can grant my request? Thanks, Dan ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!

Sorry about that, patch is completely wrong. Forget about it and don't apply.

Need help copying and painting with BitBlt
by James Hawkins Sept. 24, 2005

Sept. 24, 2005

Hey guys, I'm working on implementing the SizeBar in HTML Help, but I'm running into troubles with BitBlt. The expected behavior is as follows: * User left-clicks on the SizeBar window. WM_LBUTTONDOWN - Copy the contents of the SizeBar window to a bitmap. * User "drags" the SizeBar left or right. WM_MOUSEMOVE - Draw the bitmap containing the SizeBar contents with XOR so the old position is erased and the new position is drawn. * User releases the SizeBar. WM_LBUTTONUP - Release bitmap resources. - Resize internal windows. The only thing not working is the color of the moving SizeBar. The color in the bar is black with very few specks of white here and there. Also, when the bar passes over text, the parts of the bar with text under it turns white. Another problem is that the bar is drawn 23 pixels too high, so the bar starts at y=26 even though I specify y=49 in BitBlt. Right now I'm using a couple global variables temporarily until I can get the feature to work, but the following is the function that copies the bits from the SizeBar window into the bitmap: static void SB_CopySizeBar(HHInfo *pHHInfo) { HDC hdc = GetDC(pHHInfo->hwndSizeBar); RECT rc; hdcMem = CreateCompatibleDC(hdc); SB_GetSizeBarRect(pHHInfo, &rc); hbm = CreateCompatibleBitmap(hdc, rc.right, rc.bottom); SelectObject(hdcMem, hbm); BitBlt(hdcMem, rc.left, rc.top, rc.right, rc.bottom, hdc, 0, 0, SRCCOPY); } When I paint the bar I use: BitBlt(hdc, rc.left, rc.top, rc.right, rc.bottom, hdcMem, 0, 0, SRCINVERT); I've attached a screen shot of what it should look like, and what it actually looks like. If anyone has any ideas about getting this to work, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, James Hawkins

Ditto for the >other (excellent) Wine pages you have there. Sorry, I'm allergic to wikis. I much prefer editing in vi. I'd be happy to add it to the winehq.org web site once I've gotten it up to snuff. [ If the wiki stored its files in the same cvs archive as winehq.org does, we'd have the best of both worlds... wonder why no wikis are set up like that.] By the way, do you happen to know how one gets permission to modify bugzilla reports? That's kind of needed so the more experienced bug triage volunteers can add keywords, etc., and I'd like to add that info to my page. - Dan

memory leak detection patch
by Mike McCormack Sept. 23, 2005

Sept. 23, 2005

Hi, This patch is written for MSI, but could be adapted to other code. It keeps a linked list of allocated memory and removes free'd memory from the list. It requires that you change all the HeapAlloc's or mallocs in a dll to msi_alloc (for example), but can detect unfree'd memory and invalid free's. I have discovered quite a few problems in my own code with this patch, so hopefully somebody else will find it useful too. Mike

oh, and a question about old config options
by Robbert Xerox Sept. 23, 2005

Sept. 23, 2005

Hi, i also would like to ask the following question: I've sent in a patch to add an option to run applications in Managed mode (or not). My question is : what is the status of this option (and others from the old config file) in current wine: is there a policy to get rid of these options, or will they remain in wine. ATM this option still helps some apps (like winamp) to run in a better way. Furthermore: will there be an option added to winecfg where you can set the debug options (like RelayExclude) or do we have to do this for eternity in the registry now (which i find rather annoying) At least: what i as i user would find very handy is some kind of environment variable where you can set the searchpath for native dlls. Again, atm this has to be done in the registry, but a more userfriendly way would be better i think. Any thoughts? ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo! Security Centre. http://uk.security.yahoo.com

ntsepkg.h and security.h missed in wine
by Peter Lemenkov Sept. 23, 2005

Sept. 23, 2005

Hello, All! I'm trying to compile Miranda-IM with Winelib (main module already compiled) and find oud that these two necessary headers are missed in Wine-includes. In order to compile miranda-im, I took 'em from MinGW win32api distribution: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/mingw/w32api/include/ntsec… http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/mingw/w32api/include/secur… Are there any ways to officially include these files into Wine? -- With best regards, Peter Lemenkov.
