[Bug 33149] New: Visual Studio 2010 startup popup/dialog windows are always hidden behind splash screen

Bug #: 33149 Summary: Visual Studio 2010 startup popup/dialog windows are always hidden behind splash screen Product: Wine Version: 1.5.25 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: focht@gmx.net Classification: Unclassified

Hello folks,

some people have reported "freezes" on startup but in most cases it's just a dialog hidden behind the startup splash that requires dismissal (ok button). You have to press "ENTER" in the dark (while the splash is in focus) to get further.

Regards

Unchecking "Allow the window manager to control the windows" properly places the dialog window before the splash screen.

Fedora 16 with XFCE, xfwm4

Sounds similar to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648079 (although that one has been reported for Metacity). As the bug subject says, setting dialog parent with XSetTransientForHint or group leader with XSetWMHints fails if the window in request is not mapped. It needs to be verified that it's the same problem.

Hello Dmitry,

attached is a log file created with following debug channels (to keep output small):

WINEDEBUG=+tid,+seh,+loaddll,+process,+x11drv,+win,+msg,+msgbox wine ./VCExpress.exe

"trace:msgbox" where the hidden message box is shown. "fixme:x11drv" where I put additional trace messages when Wine calls XSetTransientForHint() or XSetWMHints() return non-zero values.

Even without VC2010 I now see "fixme:x11drv:set_style_hints XSetWMHints() failed: retval=1" when starting Wine builtin programs, e.g. 'winecfg'...

The doing 'winetricks windowscodecs' (to workaround bug 32654, although AppDB doesn't mention this step as a requirement) and then 'cd .wine/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0/Common7/IDE' 'wine VCExpress.exe' leads to "Cannot create the window". AppDB mentions the same problem. Is there a way to workaround it?

Sorry for the sloppy comments, apparently that bug is about a crash.

Regarding the MessageBox below the splash problem: splash at some point gains WS_EX_TOPMOST style set, that's not something that application does, it's a wineserver action.

wineserver does that in response to SetWindowPos(HWND_TOPMOST, splash), so apparently that's an application desire to make the splash top most.

It's not clear whether MessageBox code should cope with such situations, or WS_EX_TOPMOST should be removed at some point from splash.

Do you have Windows around to check with Spy++ or similar tool what styles MessageBox and splash windows have there?

Sure, "WinSpector" is a nice Spy++ like tool (see screenshots attached to the bug that shows the tool in action).

Unfortunately the application is discontinued (abandoned?) ... though the last version still works fine.

As pretty much expected, under Windows both MessageBox and spash windows have WS_EX_TOPMOST style set.

Probably that's MessageBox code, who does that. There is even MB_TOPMOST style defined (which Wine doesn't support yet), but it appears that MB_TOPMOST is not passed to MessageBox by the application.

--- Comment #14 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,

revisiting, still present.

You now need to remove read permissions to 'C:\users\$USER\my documents\Visual Studio 2010' to reproduce the bug.

The settings folder is now present with recent Wine versions hence the error dialog is not shown along with the splash.

$ wine --version wine-1.7.24-151-g4703ced
