Support wintab messaging for child windows
I could not apply this patch, using a different version of wine than it was created for I believe, or maybe just not understanding well enough how to apply it. I usually work through the package managers for software. However I do think that it is a child window problem. All of my windows painting programs that hold another window inside themselves as a canvas do not have pressure sensitivity under wine. Windows drawing programs that have the canvas as a part of the program window instead such as ArtRage 2.5 have full pressure sensitivity for me. I have tested out the default wine installation and the 1.0-rc3, Pixia, OpenCanvas, ArtRage and Corel Photopaint. I had not thought to look for that simaliarity before reading this bug.
I used to have pressure sensitivity in Pixia and OpenCanvas 1.1 in Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (when that installation package was new), but I hadn't been running any updates, and I had done some tweaking with the wine installation, I think I just compiled it from source, but I have forgotten. (Compiling (./configure, make, etc.) vs. package installation doesn't change the behavior of the current versions.) Unfortunately I upgraded to Hardy Heron, and broke it. I then assumed that the problem was with Ubuntu, however, I believe now that this bug is on a closer track with the problem.
Bug #151448 is one I created back when I found the last key that I believed fixed the problem when I was running Feisty. I think it should be closed or linked to this bug. I appologize for my poor bug ettiquette, I'm learning, but slowly.
Sai's pressure sensitivity problem is still not resolved...Your report fits another bug report of wine- the one where when you upgrade to hardy heron,tablet pressure sensitivity gets borked. I had a simular problem (if not exactly the same) with wine on vector linux 5.9., which is the same as slackware 12.* (curent). Tablet pressure sensitivity in wine did not work.But somebody released a patch for an older version of wine that has it fixed on both slackware and the latest ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=745102
i had exactly the same issue under vectorlinux 5.9 and this patch on wine 0.9.61 fixed it. I can confirm that the patch has not been included in wine 1 rc2,as pressure sensitivity did not work there.
I hope they implement pressure sensitivity in sai soon.I see Sai as a worthy competator of Photoshop,its brushes are superior for cg.
