Hi we are trying to port a windows native application compiled in visual studio
6 to an ubuntu lucid linux distribution.
The windows native application works well without problems into the XP, Windows
7, W2K8 R2 native Windows environments.
The windows native application is a legacy application solution composed by
three components that at the moment we can port to linux and use it with Wine.
Nice job Wine team.
We have tested the native windows application using the lastest builds version
(1.3 && 1.4) and a new compilation from the 1.5 sources about Wine
The tests has been performed in Wine desktop mode.
The native windows application is started under a W2K8 R2 enviroment enclosed
in a 1024x768 desktop mode using Wine.
The native windows application requires the mfc42 dll library downloaded with
winetricks
The components are installed locally into the ".wine" home user profile
The general application is executed remotely under a network share mounted
locally into the operating system
I only can say that the program works well in all version built or compiled but
we got a weird problem...
Lets me formule a hipotesys
We,
1) Deploy and install the native windows application's components under the
".wine" home use profile
2) Configure the native application windows enviroment. Environment variables.
Windows register. Network shares. Etc.
3) Runs the main application.
4) After the single sign-on into the main application the application display a
main window into the screen as desktop background. The components are loaded
over the displayed main window.
5) The displayed window have an menu bar and lets  start up subprocess for each
item available. 
6) For each subprocess started, the application start up another window that is
loaded into the main application desktop
7) Internally, each subprocess is an exe program run by wine
...Here is the problem...
8) The mouse lost the focus over each new subprocess about window 
9) The mouse can not pick buttons into the new window. The buttons can not be
pressed.
10) The mouse can no pick fields into the new window. The fields can not be
selected for input.
11) But the mouse can expand a drop-box menu field. We can select an item from
the drop-box menu field.
12) The mouse cannot check/uncheck a checkbox menu field
13) We can move between fields, drop-box, menu checkbox, button, etc using the
TAB key for input or select purposes.
14) But we always can use the principal main menu bar about the main window for
open new subprocess / windows loaded into the main window
15) When we select a different window loaded into the main window. We can not
select the previous window. We can not active the previous windows manually. We
windows remains opened and we can not close them.
We think that the mouse loses the focus control over the windows, fields,
buttons for each new instance loaded into the main window.
The wine execution do not reports any errors. If we increase the debug level we
can not see any considerable errors.
Seems that everything is working well but we are experimenting troubles with
the mouse.
Someone can help us?
