Bug ID: 43669
           Summary: Add proper implementation for IUIFramework
           Product: Wine
           Version: 2.16

IUIFramework has stubs now, but no working implementation.

This is hard to implement though, because the ribbon xml files need to be
compiled with a program called UICC.exe from the windows SDK, the resulting
resources have some proprietary binary format. If we want to load and display a
ribbon, we'll have to understand it.

Luckily the UICC compiler works under wine (with msxml3 msxml6), so at least 
compiling is easily. But the binary format is hard to understand, so probably 
it'll take a long while until it finally works naively in wine.

Workaround:
-Get uiribbon.dll and uiribbonres.dll from win7 and override uiribbon in
winecfg
-Get uxtheme.dll from win7 and override it, too (crashes if you don't)
-Get propsys.dll and override it (Unimplemented function)
-Get patch https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/136868 (or wait until the
problem is fixed)
-Start the program from the linked URL, it'll work

AutoCAD report seems more useful than this one.

How so? Is there any information there we don't have here? I'm not even sure if
the AutoCAD report is a UIRibbon problem.

Yes, real world application to test against.

Why did you resolve it as a duplicate then?

I linked one in the URL, this one is way easier to test since it doesn't need
workarounds and is free, including source.

I didn't, I just changed the bug it duplicates. It was already duplicate of Bug
29958, since that's fixed I just moved it over.
Didn't want to leave it there, if it's not really fixed, but I can't just
reopen it either. Sorry if I did that wrong.

I asked on the AutoCAD report if someone can test it, then we can be sure.

Since current git tree (or wine-2.18) the following workaround is enough:

-Get uiribbon.dll and uiribbonres.dll from win7 and override uiribbon in
winecfg
-Get uxtheme.dll from win7 and override it (crashes if you don't)
-Start the program from the linked URL

Still present in wine-4.0-rc2, and I'm still on it. Long way to go though.

Does anyone know of any freely downloadable program one could test with?

Maybe win movie maker https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44040

Not 100% sure though, better test yourself ;)

Obviously still present as of wine-4.14. It's still on my list, but it's a lot
of work and I'm currently not having a lot of time.

TortoiseMerge is free software that comes bundled with TortoiseSVN which is
also affected by this issue.

Here's the related bug report which has a download link:
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50778

I am not sure how to add an "App affected by this bug".

It needs to be done via the AppDB side.
