[Bug 2097] Unable to start game Rites of War
by Stephen Torri April 27, 2005

April 27, 2005

Can a developer take a look at Bug #2097? I need some assistance on figuring our what is wrong with this game. In particular I would like to have someone that can tutor me in trouble shooting problems running applications. I want to be more of an active solution contributor than a problem generator. Stephen

Window don't stay minimized problem
by Vitaliy Margolen April 27, 2005

April 27, 2005

I'm still having this problem. Here is what I found so far: - All Delphi apps don't minimize properly because they depend on WM_SYSCOMMAND SC_MINIMIZE, SC_RESTORE etc. - If I insert these messages before WM_SHOWWINDOW in X11DRV_MapNotify / X11DRV_UnmapNotify it still doesn't work. App makes few more steps but does not minimize. Instead it changes size of the main window and shows an extra window (hidden Delphi Application window). - Comparing messages received by app I see WM_ACTIVATEAPP sent prematurely and WM_KILLFOCUS too late. Does any one have suggestions where to insert this messages? Also, could someone enlighten my on how and where do we handle window management stuff? I see to many places (server, x11drv, user). I guess what I'm trying to find how they all are link together? Here is a comparison of messages received by hidden application window while handling minimize request. wine native WM_SYSCOMMAND SC_MINIMIZE WM_SYSCOMMAND SC_MINIMIZE Minimize start WM_QUERYNEWPALETTE WM_ACTIVATEAPP WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING WM_NCACTIVATE WM_NCACTIVATE WM_ACTIVATE WM_ACTIVATE WM_SETFOCUS WM_SETFOCUS WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING WM_NCCALCSIZE WM_NCCALCSIZE WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED WM_MOVE WM_MOVE WM_SIZE WM_SIZE WM_KILLFOCUS WM_GETTEXT WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING WM_NCCALCSIZE WM_NCCALCSIZE WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED WM_MOVE WM_MOVE WM_SIZE WM_SIZE WM_NCACTIVATE WM_GETTEXT WM_ACTIVATE WM_ACTIVATEAPP Minimize end WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGED WM_MOVE WM_NCACTIVATE WM_ACTIVATE WM_KILLFOCUS -- Best regards, Vitaliy

msn webcam status
by Maarten Lankhorst April 26, 2005

April 26, 2005

just thought I'd drop by and say how things are going.. i submitted a lot of patches already, and trying to get those commited, although they are not directly required for webcam support, they are meant to increase general stability, and fix some bugs: - dlls/avicap32: wrote a basic capgetdriverdescription (Trying to get it committed) - dlls/devenum: wrote videoinputdevice enumeration based on capgetdriverdescription (Trying to get it committed) - dlls/quartz: wrote some general fixes for filtergraph.c/pin.c added capturegraphbuilder interface (Trying to get those committed) of course, there's also the vfwcapture interface itself, after trying to get it to work with a real webcam, instead of the very flexible bttv driver, i came to the conclusion i needed to do some major background changes the vfwcapture interface itself won't change, because that part is now near perfect, but the stuff behind it is messy on itself, the interface is not useful, it needs the other fixes I posted above, so now I'm just waiting until those patches are implemented, my disk is getting too full with all those patches (only semi joking, i'm losing track of them..)

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. . .
