can windows be reparented?
by Medland, Bill Aug. 13, 2002

Aug. 13, 2002

Can anyone help me with this? I am trying to track down a problem with our software, relating to Visual Basic and its forms. We launch a container executable which then loads one of hundreds of OCXes (compiled from Visual Basic). One of the things that then happens within those OCXes is that they use the Visual Basic "load" instruction to load a different form in a modal way. Under Windows the form (which is generally larger than the original OCX form) comes up on the main display, with full usability (you can click on windows etc). However under Wine it comes up within the client area of the original and only responds to keyboard input. (Luckily Alt+C maps to the Close button so we can close it). If I use Spy++ under Windows I can see that when the "popup" form is up then its parent is 0 but its owner is the ThunderRT6UserControlDC under the ATL window that is the container. Under Wine if I watch the CreateWindow calls I see that the ThunderRT6FormDC parented by the ThunderRT6Main and the ThunderRT6UserControlDC parented by a STATIC under the ThunderRT6Main. Unfortunately I know of no way to see what parent was originally specified under windows. I presume that it is unlikely that the parentage was altered after the windows were created. Does anyone know differently? Anyone now what might be going on? Bill

Bug #931
by Dusan Vujosevic Aug. 13, 2002

Aug. 13, 2002

I seems that the problem I noted in bug #931 goes away when "PerfectGraphics" is set to false (????). I tracked the problem down to implementation of PATINVERT in BITBLT_InternalStretchBlt() (in graphics/x11drv/bitblt.c). It check whether 'perfect_graphics' is on and if it is it actually doesn't do the drawing: case PATINVERT: /* 0x5a */ if (perfect_graphics()) break; Maybe I'm missing soemthing here but I think that test should be: case PATINVERT: /* 0x5a */ if (!perfect_graphics()) break; That would give a more logical behaviour where there would not be any drawing errors when "PerfectGraphics" is set to True. (There are other spots where this is used in similar fashion) Another question is why have the "PerfectGraphics" option at all when it produces drawing artifacts? D.

Incomplete support in Win32
by Shachar Shemesh Aug. 13, 2002

Aug. 13, 2002

Hi all, As you may know (I make a lot more noise than actual work), I am trying to implement BiDi support for WINE. The most promising place to start seemed to be GetCharacterPlacement, that does everything even remotely BiDi related. The most immediate thing to do was to call GetCharacterPlacement from ExtTextOut in order to do the BiDi rearrenging. In typical MS fashion, however, it seems that this will not work. Despite the fact that you are supposed to be able to call GetCharacterPlacement once, and then call ExtTextOut with the result as many times as necessary (speeding up the process, and suggesting that GetCharacterPlacement can do anything ExtTextOut can do), it seems there is one thing that ExtTextOut is expected to know how to do, and GetCharacterPlacement does not know. For those who are really interested, this is specfying the base directionality of the paragraph. I am pretty sure the way Windows implements this is by having a common parent function used for reordering by both ExtTextOut and GetCharacterPlacement. I think such an arrangment is awfully crude. I was considering an alternative solution, and would like your opinion. What I thought of doing was adding a bit to the flags GetCharacterPlacement gets, which says "right to left paragraph, if you'll be so kind". My question is - how acceptable is such a behaviour. Is that a huge no-no, or is that a harmless little tweak? It goes without saying that I will document the fact that this is a WINE only flag, and that there are unused bits in the GetCharacterPlacement current flags set. Another alternative I was considering was to add a directional push at the start of the string in order to achieve this without changing the algorithm. The problem is that I am not sure what affect this will have on the reordering, not to mention the fact that I will then need to copy and widen the string inside ExtTextOut, which is an inconvinence to say the least. Your opinios, please. Shachar

WineHQ.com server crash
by Jeremy Newman Aug. 13, 2002

Aug. 13, 2002

On 10:00:12 CST the wine.codeweavers.com a.k.a www.winehq.com server suffered catastrophic hardware failure. The power supply suddenly decided of its own free will that the motherboard and all of the attached components needed 3x the recommended voltage (or something). wine.codeweavers.com (ver 3.0) on-line and operational. Sorry for the inconvenience of downtime. I now return you to your regularly scheduled mailing list. -- __ _WebGeek/NetAdmin CodeWeavers -= http://www.codeweavers.com | \| |_____ __ ___ __ __ _ _ _ -= http://www.dracowulf.com | .` / -_) | | / ' \/ _` | ' \ -= mailto:jnewman(a)codeweavers.com |_|\_\___|\_/\_/|_|_|_\__,_|_||_| -= ICQ: 1842980 Yahoo: laxdragon

I've included it all even though only the last couple of > lines look pertinent. For a backtrace type 'bt' in the console at the "Wine-dbg>" prompt, no additional debug messages enabled; Relay debugging: run with "--debugmsg +relay" and capture the output in a file. With a texteditor look for the line where the first indication of the crash is (search for something like "starting debugger" or "unhandled exception"). In the lines above this you can see what the program was doing at that moment. To post logs: try to preserve the line-breaks. In Agent I usually use "Paste as Quote (Custom)", Agent doesn't insert additional line-breaks in that case. Attaching as "plain text" is another possibility. Rein. -- Rein Klazes rklazes(a)xs4all.nl

It is possible to get approximately monthly updates to the rpms on RedHat; the LinuxEasy rpm copies available via www.winehq.com/downloads (if they are available) are in the correct version. I would certainly say that you will need to upgrade or replace the one that comes with RedHat 7.3. It's great that RedHat provide it but that version is woefully out-of-date now. However I would seriously advocate building from scratch. (Before doing so, remember to uninstall the wine that RedHat put there). I have been building Wine on RedHat for a year and a half now; on RedHat 7.3 for many months. I find it quite easy. Bill

wine + cvs + proxy = ?
by Fabian Cenedese Aug. 12, 2002

Aug. 12, 2002

Hi all I'd like to stay up-to-date by using cvs on wine. Unfortunately cvs isn't able to go through a proxy if it isn't invisible, I can't enter the proxy info anywhere in cvs (confirmed on cvs mailing list). So I wondered if there is a better solution than to download the wine-snapshots and reinstall the sources every time. Does anyone have similar problems and maybe a solution? Thanks Fabi

WINS support in Wine
by Claudiu Costin Aug. 11, 2002

Aug. 11, 2002

Dear friends, I want to bypass WINS client routines and use LMHOSTS as a mean to "resolve" Windows machines names. Sincerly, on Win2k I haven't success, even I setup the c:\winnt\drivers\etc\lmhosts file. But, I need this to work to surpase the Outlook dialog in Wine which say me that there are networking problems and it cannot resolve/find my "exchange_name" server. My desire is to make Outlook Exchange support work on Wine. You, know, if I succeed this, then I'll not be forced to reboot on Windows when I'm at my job. P.S. Thanks in advance for help have a nice day, -- Claudiu Costin, claudiuc(a)kde.org Linux-KDE Romania http://www.ro.kde.org

Agent crashes on accessing Disk

Howdy, I've just found a problem with Agent when trying to save attachments from email, that I thought I'd share with the devel community. (It's happening in both v1.9 and v1.92.) This is also happening with my just updated today CVS version. When I tried to save an attachment, the following messages appear: ------------------ [olsam(a)friday agent]$ wine ~/bin/Agent/1.9/agent.exe err:mmsys:MMDRV_InitHardcoded You didn't setup properly the config file for the Wine multimedia modules.

And if it's really necessary, shouldn't the install script check for it and create it for me? I as a user don't want to be concerned with those things.
