WinMM/MIDI problem? (/dev/mixer1 error message)
by Abdul-Haseeb Ahmad 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

This again is related to NHL2004 but I felt it needed to be in a different psot as I think its more related to the way WinMM works... When the HTML files w/MPEGs embedded in NHL2004 load (via IE6) theres a crash.. and it seems to be related to WinMM: ----- fixme:ole:CoCreateInstance no classfactory created for CLSID {6c736db1-bd94-11d0-8a23-00aa00b58e10}, hres is 0x80040154 No debug information in 32bit DLL 'Z:\MNT\D\NHLDEMO\BECONTROLS_PC_Z.DLL' (0x48390000) err:ole:ITypeInfo_fnInvoke did … [View More]

Posix Subsystem for ReactOS - Project 2010
by Steven Edwards 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

Hello All, Now that the word is out its time to fill you guys in. Over the past few months I have been working with a Project called Cooperative Linux. Cooperative Linux allows you to the Linux kernel as a process under Windows NT/2K. With CoLinux you can run any linux application under Windows. http://www.colinux.org/?section=screenshots My plan is to work with the CoLinux team to integrate CoLinux in to Windows and ReactOS as a POSIX subsystem. They are very interested in working with us on … [View More]

Wineconf notice
by Jeremy White 31 Jan '04

31 Jan '04

Hi all, Barring disaster, we're going to start Wineconf tomorrow morning at 9:30 am. It looks like we'll have streaming video working; I've updated the wineconf page with some instructions, and a Wine tarball that Works For Me (TM) with the Quicktime player (although mplayer works quite well also). See http://www.winehq.org/wineconf/ for more info. We should also have good 'net connectivity, so feel free to join in via irc. Cheers, Jeremy

Re: desktop mode again

I can do that, if it would get applied. :) I sent an earlier version of the sysmetrics patch by itself a long time ago, and it was not applied because it could give incorrect results in desktop mode. This version is cleaner that that one, and I think that by itself it would at least give correct … [View More]results for an application running in the one desktop that changed its size.

X doesn't allow inter-process operations right? Actually, I think X doesn't care. It has no problem with me having one process create the desktop window and another process creating a "normal" window inside it.

Yes. The problem is that the winedesktop app thinks the "root" X window is the desktop, while all other apps think the window winedesktop created is the desktop. For convenience, winedesktop is just calling PaintDesktop when appropriate. I did not want to just copy the body of that function into winedesktop because it depends on other variables in the file where it is located. I guess the alternative would be to have the set wallpaper, set pattern, and paintdesktop functions simply send a message to the winedesktop process (if it's running), which would then contain the implementations. If that sounds more reasonable I can certainly change it to that way. >>+/*********************************************************************** >>+ * BecomeDesktop >>+ * >>+ * Tell the server to make our window the desktop. >>+ */ >>+static BOOL BecomeDesktop() >>+{ >>+ BOOL res = TRUE; >>+ SERVER_START_REQ( set_desktop_window ) > > > This is bad. There shouldn't be a direct server call in a normal wine program. We should try and find the right Windows API to do this, or create our own export from user32. Only user32, gdi32, ntdll and x11drv should need to use server calls (and kernel32 out of convenience). I guess I have no opinion about whether it would be worse to create a new export or just call the server. I was not happy about doing either, but I am not aware of anything in the "real" API that would do this. This application is not really "normal" anyway. I see it more as an extension of x11drv. > Why do you need two windows procedures? If you're sure you do need both of them, a comment in the code explaining why would be good. It's not at all obvious to the casual observer (i.e. me) otherwise. That I can add. The basic thing is that the "main" window created by winedesktop is just a normal ordinary window, and it can be minimized, etc. The child window came in because an app should be able to ask for the size of the desktop window and always get the right answer. I thought it was better to create a child window than to have to put code in the server to intercept calls to get the size of the desktop and fudge the results if it was minimized. > It appears you don't launch winedesktop anywhere and you don't remove any options from the config file. It will be a bit confusing for people who do use the wine desktop when it doesn't do anything after applying your patch (until they launch winedesktop). Do you plan to launch winedesktop at startup (possibly just after wineserver is launched) if the desktop setting is enabled? This was described when I originally posted a version of this a long time ago. The general idea is that if no other Wine apps are running, you can start winedesktop. While it's running, all Wine apps that get started get trapped inside the desktop. I would like to find a way to have multiple desktops or desktop coexisting with non-desktop, but that would be a ton of additional bookkeeping in the server. Alex [View Less]

TransparentBlt
by Kevin Koltzau 30 Jan '04

30 Jan '04

I noticed Warren Baird has submitted an implementation of TransparentBlt back in Feb 2003.. http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-patches/2003/02/0029.html I'm curious what was wrong with that implementation to keep it from being committed, and what might be done to get it up to par..or maybe it was just missed? Reason I ask is I need this function for uxtheme
