Even if the window is not in fact a child? Please excuse my ignorance here; I am still a little shaky on terminology. Surely if it is a top level window then its parent is the desktop and always will be. Or are you saying that it reparents to the desktop (and so the problem is down in the SetParent code)? > > But top level windows created by Visual Vasic are special: > they have no parent, > but only owner according to Spy++.

Careful. In our particular case, according to Spy++ the owner of the ThunderRT6FormDC is a third-generation window. viz. the actual window requested, not one of its ancestors. i.e. I see the call to SetWindowLong (30056 (The ThunderRT6FormDC), -8, 10046 (The ThunderRT6UserControlDC)) I guess an important point here is that in our case the Visual Basic is an OCX sitting inside a container and so the ThunderRT6UserControlDC is not first generation. > > -- > Dmitry. > > > > Hope this helps.

Hi What is the easiest way to view/print the wine-help files that are in sgml? I fiddled around with sgmltools but couldn't get a useful output (I guess I just gave up too early, don't want to consider the other option :). What do others use for viewing them? Thanks Fabi

[Help] When one application internally invokes another application?
by leanne Aug. 14, 2002

Aug. 14, 2002

Dear all, I wonder wine's config would help if one application needs to invoke another application, say, Notes Client to open attachment with notepad.exe. I fail to open the attached txt file and it complained no such program. I have put notepad.exe on /usr/share/wine-c/windows/ and /usr/share/wine-c/windows/system :-( Anyone could help is much appreciated. Thanks. Leanne

If you select the memo field > then the Category field gets cleared. Well, after a day of wading through a whole lot of --debugmsg +all logs, I've figured out what's going on with this... EDIT_WM_GetText (in controls/edit.c) is "blindly" setting the last byte of the string buffer being past to it to NULL: textA[count - 1] = 0; /* ensure 0 termination */ Apparently, in this particular case, the buffer size (the 'count' veriable) is not correct, and the location of textA[count - 1] just happens to correspond to the first byte of the Category field, which (obviously) CHANGES IT TO A NULL STRING! Voila! Now, since I have just found this, I have not had a chance to determine of the erroneous value of "count" is a bug in Wine, or in Quicken! Doing so may take an awfully loooooong time, particularly since I don't have the source for Quicken. (Since this does not seem to be a pervasive bug, I'm suspecting Quicken...) So, here's what I see as my choices... 1) Forget the origin of the bug, and change EDIT_WM_GetText to only set the last byte to a NULL only if there is not a NULL byte prior to [count - 1]. I'm guessing the most efficient way (I'm no C guru) would be to change the line to something like: if (strlen(textA) >= count) textA[count - 1] = 0; If this is reasonable, the question that I would have is "What functions should I use in place of the strlen() above [for A and W strings] (or is strlen() good enough for both)?" 2) Take some time to try to track down if the bug is Wine related. I'm willing to spend a day (maybe two) on this, but my gut tells me it's futile. Obviously, if I find a related Wine bug, I'd fix it, which indirectly would fix this issue. But if I don't find a related bug, I guess I would have to revert to (1) anyway... Suggestions?? Comments?? Carl

As usual, I tried to update the cvs version I had before the crash. cvs update -APd the 7 cvs updates that appear on wine-cvs at Aug 12 don't come. I could patch it manually, but I prefer a clean cvs tree, updated with the normal way to proceed. --- Paul Millar <paulm(a)astro.gla.ac.uk> a écrit : > On Tue, 13 Aug 2002, [iso-8859-1] Sylvain Petreolle wrote: > > I checked the CVS to have last changes from August 12 that I see on > > wine-cvs and didn't get anything updated.

Just an FYI but this bug is also what is reported under bug#825 (and 961). I have indicated under 825 a hack which prevents the problem from occurring, and there was a recent discussion where Alexander indicated it may not be correct to actually call SetParent for GWL_HWNDPARENT, which is exactly what my hack changes. Note bug#825 also has an attached testcase already Jason
