PATCH: SPI_GETGRADIENTCAPTIONS
by J C Feb. 1, 2004

Feb. 1, 2004

Hi All, I've put together a little patch to allow SystemParametersInfoA to read an actual registry value for SPI_GETGRADIENTCAPTIONS instead of the default 'false' that was returned all the time (got tired of seeing those fixmes). I based the registry information off of this page: http://212.203.14.81/virtualp/html/ui_tips.html How does this patch look? It's the first i've put together for Wine (so be easy ;). I will continue to flesh out the remaining UI settings (at least those that apply in all versions of windows (9x,nt,2000,xp) if there is interest and i'm on the right path here. The only thing i can think of us doing is reading these values from the Window Manager instead of our own registry values. Are there standard ways of detecting this or is it just best left in the registry? I have included the patch as well as the Reg Key for these settings (with gradient captions disabled by default).

GetBitmapDimensionEx() usage in STATIC_PaintBitmapfn()
by Ge van Geldorp Feb. 1, 2004

Feb. 1, 2004

The call to GetBitmapDimensionEx() and the use of the returned size as the x and y offset for the BitBlt in controls/static.c function STATIC_PaintBitmapfn (around line 576) looks incorrect to me. Does anyone have an idea what the purpose of that code could be? Gé van Geldorp.

Wineps.drv not a fully windows compliant printer driver?
by ceztko＠libero.it Feb. 1, 2004

Feb. 1, 2004

1 week ago, i posted a msg (subject: 16bit app calls wineps.drv, but wine has wineps.dll) in the ml reporting a run-time error 482: Printer Error with a 16 bit app. Weel, that report is not rappresentative of the problem, it seems more complicated than i tought. At MSDN, i found: Printer error (Error 482) There is some problem that prevents printing. This error has the following causes and solutions: * You don't have a printer installed from the Windows Control Panel. Open the Control Panel, double-click the Printers icon, and choose Add Printer to install a printer. * Your printer isn't online. Physically switch the printer online. * Your printer is jammed or out of paper. Physically correct the problem. * You tried to print a form to a printer that can accept only text. Switch to an installed printer that can print graphics. In windows, all is OK with all type of printer. After 2 weeks of attempts, i understood i'm unable to find the origin of the problem and a possible resolution. So, hoping you can help me, i did a snapshot of my wine configuration including the non-working app and the natives dll needed to run it (no problem of dependences: they should be ok). The snapshot is not very big (~7mb), and it's a simple copy of .wine dir with a testapp script (cd ..., WINEDLLOVERRIDES=... wine app.exe) to immediately run the fucking/non-working app. So, a backup of your .wine dir is needed. Weel, there's also the problem of trust: a new non-root user is OK =) My interest in this stupid business app is only to convert my father to linux, but if you can help me, a donation to the wine project is CERTAIN! Here the easy instruction: NB: Use a new non-root user for trust, or at least # mv .wine winebak 1 - Download to your home http://digilander.libero.it/ceztko/testapp.tar.gz 3 - # tar xvzf testapp.tar.gz 4 - # ./testapp The error message i get is this: run-time error '482': Printer Error ( http://digilander.libero.it/ceztko/snapshot-err.png ) Instead, it should be like this http://digilander.libero.it/ceztko/screenshot-ok.png . I'm unable to understand if is a my mis-configuration or a bug in wine (and maybe this snapshot is not weel configured anyway). But, after 2 weeks of attempts without results, using different printer configurations FROM SCRATCH (cups, file, original windows printer driver, ..), i'm almost sure this is a bug, or a sort of... Thanks for your help!

WineConf Webcast
by Uwe Bonnes Feb. 1, 2004

Feb. 1, 2004

Hallo, when is the webcast supposed to start today? Any chance to get non-choppy sound, even perhaps at the expense of no video stream? If we have a video stream, can the camera OSD perhaps be disables? Any conclusions why the stream yesterday was tagged "non-cachable", perhaps resulting in the choopy sound due to network latencies?

No, that's not a solution, that's a workaround. (And it's -X you want.) Wine should be able to run commandline programs WITHOUT USING X IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM! This is a longstanding bug in Wine, and one that periodically makes my blood boil. The workaround I've used in the past is to create a .winetty directory with special settings to use the tty driver instead of the x driver, but that's a pain in the ass. - Dan

window focus working better?
by Alex Pasadyn Feb. 1, 2004

Feb. 1, 2004

Greetings all! I just happened to run an installer with Wine and I forgot to trap it inside a desktop, and to my surprise, it did NOT put a big blank window up front, so I was able to use it normally. I had not used one of these in a while, so I tried a couple others, and they worked normally too (outside of desktop mode). Looking back through the logs, I think this patch may have fixed that issue, at least for a lot of cases: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-cvs/2003/12/0156.html I couldn't see any discussion of this in here, so I was wondering if anyone else has seen similar results. I also tried several full-screen games that historically gave me keyboard focus trouble, and every one of them got keyboard input. I have not changed anything with my window manager, and reversing that patch causes the problem to return. So, is this working now for anyone else? Did I overlook the discussion? Alex

Hel debugging windows app with wine(dbg) + gdb
by Leo Jan. 31, 2004

Jan. 31, 2004

Hi, I don't know if this is the place to ask this, but anyway here it goes: I'm trying to debug a windows application using wine. The app is compiled with mingw (www.mingw.org) and I tried using -gstabs and -ggdb debug info but same problem happens. The problem is: 1) Using winedbg as server for remote gdb debugger, when execution stops (sigfault, or whatever), and I type 'bt' in the gdb client, no debug info is shown, just lines like this one: #0 0xdeaf1005 in ?? () 2) Running 'wine <myapp.exe>' and then using gdb client to debug the process with the 'attach' command, when execution stops (sigfault, or whatever), and I type 'bt' in the gdb client, debug info IS shown, but line numbering shows always just the first line in the function. For example, say I have this function: void f() { int a=123; *(char *)0=a; } then when sigfault is caught, gdb shows backtrace like this: #0 0x0040130b in f() () at f.cpp:2 even though exception occurs in line 4. Either way, I can't debug a windows app correctly. May I be doing something wrong. I've read the docs and followed instructions for DDD, KDbg, and just plain gbd. I'm using latest wine 2004 rpm under Redhat 9. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks, Leo.
