No more Office 11 for Win98/ME
by Uwe Bonnes Oct. 30, 2002

Oct. 30, 2002

Hallo, e.g. on www.heise.de there is the news that MS announces to drop support for Win98/ME for the next office version. That's probably a point in time when many people will look for alternatives. Hopefully Wine and Linux are in good shape then.

For more API stats you can check out the following page (and disclaimer): http://fgouget.free.fr/wine/winapi_stats-en.shtml While I'm writing I will just mention some other links relevant to the 'Wine perception' aspect: * Contributing to Wine Trying to present ways to get started helping Wine. More work is needed on this section and it needs to be made much more visible. http://www.winehq.com/about/index.php?contrib * Why Wine is so important Many people have a primitive 'say no to Windows software' attitude because they do not understand why Wine is important. http://www.winehq.com/about/index.php?why * Debunking Wine Myths These myths are quite common and detract to Wine's image http://www.winehq.com/about/index.php?myths Here's my thoughts on getting more developpers: * I think step one is fixing Wine's perception issues by improving the Web site to make the above more visible, add screenshots and make it easier to navigate. * Step two is to add more resources geared towards new developpers to make it easier for them to get started (e.g. taslets bug list, finish the conformance testing guide, update the developer's guide, etc.). * Step three is to be more outgoing. Do a better job at describing the tasks that need to be done for instance. Let people know that we need help, that with done much with less than one tenth the number of developpers that the Linux kernel has. Someone suggested making Wine presentations at local LUGs. I think that's a goog idea too. I have done some work on the above items (all committed) but I'm not a technical writer so it takes me a lot of time to write documentation and I'm rarely happy with the result. And free time is in very short supply currently. Plus I'm not familiar with PHP which would be required for some of the Web site changes (again a time issue). So please, if anyone feels like updating the web site or writing documentation, go ahead. Wine needs you! -- Francois Gouget fgouget(a)free.fr http://fgouget.free.fr/ $live{free} || die "";

Treeview Notifications Fix (found cause), now I need some help...
by Dustin Navea Oct. 30, 2002

Oct. 30, 2002

Hey everyone, after about 3 hours of adding traces to treeview.c, I have found the line that is causing all of my headaches! in /wine/dlls/comctl32/treeview.c: in function TREEVIEW_NOTIFYFORMAT i = SendMessageA(GetParent (infoPtr->hwnd), WM_NOTIFYFORMAT, (WPARAM)infoPtr->hwnd, NF_QUERY); SendMessageA is returning 2 (NFR_UNICODE) on the StarCraft installer window. This is incorrect, the return should be 1 (NFR_ANSI). I don't know of any way to get it to return 1 myself as I dont know windows API, so I am asking for some help. can anyone that has some free time and knows the WM subsystem help me out? Please add yourself to CC on bug 1073. TIA -Dustin __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? HotJobs - Search new jobs daily now http://hotjobs.yahoo.com/

by Rein Klazes Oct. 30, 2002

Oct. 30, 2002

Dimitri, The missing last column in newsbin seems to be caused by this line: | if (!lpColumn || nColumn < 0 || nColumn > infoPtr->hdpaColumns->nItemCount) return -1; | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ removing the marked part of the test result in a couple of error messages: | err:listview:LISTVIEW_InsertColumnT nColumn=4, nNewColumn=3 | err:listview:LISTVIEW_InsertColumnT nColumn=4, nNewColumn=3 | err:listview:LISTVIEW_InsertColumnT nColumn=4, nNewColumn=3 but otherwise runs fine. Do you see any objections removing the test and error message? Rein. -- Rein Klazes rklazes(a)xs4all.nl
