Winelib article in this month's C/C++ User's Journal
by Matthew Bloch March 6, 2003

March 6, 2003

http://www.cuj.com/current/feature.html?topic=current An immodest plug for my introductory Winelib article that the CUJ editor Joe Casad was soliciting through thist list back in December. It's now in the print journal and on their web site at the (temporary, by the looks of things) link above. Thanks to the people who offered criticism before publication; hopefully in the three months since I wrote it the information isn't too out of date! cheers, -- Matthew Bloch Bytemark Hosting tel. +44 (0) 8707 455026 http://www.bytemark-hosting.co.uk/ Dedicated Linux hosts from 15ukp ($26) per month

Also, it's typically better to ask the positive question: inline static BOOL SCROLL_IsScrollBarInfoValid(SCROLLBAR_INFO *infoPtr) { /* ... */ } -- Dimi.

Re: PATCH: Inserting an item in a listview sometimes generates incorrect messages

I'd rather have a special way to avoid the notification in the case of shifting items, rather than clutter the interface that's used all over the place to pass a strange TRUE that's rather opaque. I've tried hard to not extend the interface beyond what's documented for the messages. It makes the code simpler to follow. -- Dimi.

Delphi with Wine

Hi, My environment is three layers. On second layer (Applications Server), I'm not getting to run the TSimpleObjectBroker and TSocketConnection Delphi components in my application with wine. The client BD and BDE application works perfectly. Somebody can help me? Thanks.

Re: winedbg b0rken on FreeBSD?

> Is there anything I can do? hard to tell from here... from the things you could do is try to do is: 1/ winedbg diablo 2/ then when winedbg seems to hang, try to attach gdb to it (to the winedbg process, not the diablo's as you did). it may tell us where it fails another option is to run with --debugmsg +server,+relay but you will get lots of traces... but it may show where things stop and the third one is to run gdb thru winedbg (run winedbg -- --gdb diablo, and see what gives) A+ -- Eric Pouech

Re: Add wineconsole FIXME

I think we should add it to wineconsole documentation too... once it gets written :-( > Any solution to that problem? not really. do you know what your app does after getting the window handle ? in some cases, it's used to either: - check if the app is running - or send messages (minimize/maximize, show/hide, quit) I don't see very good solutions here... curses backend is intended to be run without USER loaded... so that would break this rule... even, if we create a dummy window in wineconsole, without requiring USER to be loaded (using bare server requests), I'm not sure it'll cover all aspects of the issues (esp. what the app does once it gets the handle) BTW, XP introduced a new API to implement in a sane way this window lookup 'GetConsoleWindow' (for the console attached to the current process) (in the same type of issues, GetWindowThreadProcessId() will return bogus results) A+ -- Eric Pouech

Resources and more with Darwin
by Pierre d'Herbemont March 5, 2003

March 5, 2003

Hi all! I am trying to build wine onto Max OS X/Darwin. I am getting trouble with windres and the *.res files. I would like to know if it would be possible to have winelib running without those resources, I mean, could I build a program and link it fine without those resources? In a second time I would like to know if you plan to use wrc as the only (without windres) resource manager. I have read in the list something like that, could you give me the confirmation? Also I would like to know in which measure is the Elf file format implicated in wine (in opposition to darwin's mach-o). Thanks, Pierre

Boolean functions should return TRUE or FALSE, unless you have evidence that Windows does it differently. Yes, I know any non-zero value is true in C, but you can't rely on every Windows programmer to get it right. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

The main problem with the way you attached this is that it has modified a lot of the "special" characters, which you normally don't see because your mail reader has displays them ok. So you should do a "view source" of what you have attached. For example, it starts out: diff -u -r1.49 sysparams.c --- windows/sysparams.c 19 Feb 2003 22:04:46 -0000 1.49 +++ windows/sysparams.c 5 Mar 2003 10:39:39 -0000 @@ -1662,17 +1662,26 @@ } =20 case SPI_GETMOUSEHOVERWIDTH: /* 98 _WIN32_WINNT >=3D 0x400 || _W= IN32_WINDOW > 0x400 */ Notice the "=20", "=3D", and "=<cr>". Not only has the mailer changed some of the characters, but it has inserted line feeds. For many of us, all this is invisible. I use Mozilla, and it recreates the file correctly as long as I Save As... text. But I don't think we should assume that everyone can do that.
