VARIANT_ValidateType ?
by Marcus Meissner Nov. 13, 2003

Nov. 13, 2003

Hi Jon, Can you please explain why VARIANT_ValidateType rejects for instance VT_SAFEARRAY variants (and more) with DISP_E_BADVARTYPE? Why does it handle the whole range VT_HRESULT - VT_CF as invalid (except VT_RECORD) ? We got one InstallShield regression from this patch (where it wants to clear a VT_SAFEARRAY I think). Ciao, Marcus

Anybody have a feeling if that's a no-no under > Wine? ActiveX and COM are mostly supported under Wine, if it doesn't work you can try using native DCOM - this is documented in various howtos/faqs, like the #winehq channel faq.

Native Dll x Built-in Dll - why everything doesn't work with native dlls
by Leonardo Luiz Padovani da Mata Nov. 13, 2003

Nov. 13, 2003

Hello all!! My name is Leonardo, and i'm working in a project that will migrate thousands of windows NT4 machines to Linux. In this project we will do some wine impplementations, if needed. The apps that we are testing is some VB6/5 apps and DataBase client apps. None of the apps executed correctly. So we will impplement wine. I need to know why when we use Native DLL these apps doesn't work. How does wine open the native dll files? Where are the doc about that? thanks. -- _ ,^. _ Leonardo Luiz Padovani da Mata ,'/ -' '- \`.

Wine 20031016 "Wingdings" font encoding problem?
by Parzival Herzog Nov. 13, 2003

Nov. 13, 2003

I have wine-20031016 built from source installed on Mandrake 9.1 Programs that had displayed certain characters from the Windows "Wingdings" font, now display the box that signifies that the character code is not present in the font. With the standard wine (20030315) installed with Mandrake, these characters used to showed up as the astrological zodiac signs, i.e. Aries, Taurus, etc., just as they do when my program is run natively. The font is copied from windows, the Wingdings Truetype font. The character codes are (decimal) 94 - 105 (hex) 0x5E - 0x69 (ascii) "^" - "i" I have installed these Windows fonts under KDE, and, if I select the Wingdings font in, say KDE Kwrite, and type "^_`abcdefghi", all the expected character glyphs show. is this a bug, or a configuration problem? (I use some other non-Microsoft fonts as well, and some of these work, for the codes used, and some don't, although with earlier versions of wine, they all worked. Since Wingdings is a well-known and used font, I hope that solving the problem for it, will solve it for the others as well.) -- Parzival Herzog

Re: declare some missing string functions

You probably need to switch to the msvcrt headers to make things work right in your case. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

I don't think it makes sense to use the normal mapping code for such files, we should really have a separate loader for the NT kernel stuff (which can of course re-use some lower level functions of the current loader). -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

suggestion: Get native uxtheme and native common controlls working on WINE and ReactOS
by Jonathan Wilson Nov. 12, 2003

Nov. 12, 2003

Is such a thing possible or not? i.e. getting uxtheme, the existing themes and the common controls dll (various versions of it) working on ROS or Wine fesable?
