The wine user guide: an idea
by Noam Raphael 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

Hello, First, let me apologize: I am not familiar with wine, and I didn't make a decent research before I posted this message. I just read through the wine user guide, and though of something that could be nice for a user as lazy as I am. Since the introduction asked for comments, I comment. What I would like is a section with common use cases of wine and step-by-step instructions for each of them. It shouldn't be long - it should be mostly links to other parts of the user guide. I think of something like that: CASE: I have a working windows machine, and I would like to use the installed programs from linux. (which happens to be my situation...) WHAT TO DO: 1. Install wine (see ...) 2. Copy all files into your home dir, for example, ~/wine/C 3. Run winecfg (see ...) ... This would give the users (or at least me) a nice warm feeling that what I want to do was already done and isn't so complicated (I hope - I haven't tried it yet). Have a good week, Noam Raphael P.S. if you reply, can you please CC me? I'm not a member of wine-devel.

Re: wine devel documentation reorganization
by Mike Hearn 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

Spiffy. As part of my ongoing quest to make Wine hacking less scary, I've written some docs on SEH. I'll submit them to the kernel modules section when I get net access back. Just a heads up in case anybody else was thinking of covering that topic.

Program To Check System Metrics
by William Poetra Yoga H 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

Hi guys (& gals), if you remember I was working on the caption buttons. I haven't submitted the patch yet (it's still in progress) and I wish to know the relations between system metrics, because I think they are very closely related to drawing on the screen, like borders, sizes, etc. I'm writing an app here, called metrics, but since this is my first Win32 program, I've encountered many problems (and solved only a few :-P). I've read bits of theForge's Win32 tutorial at www.winprog.org (I got the link from Wine), but I just can't figure out how to handle the "Refresh" and "Save" buttons properly. "Refresh" is for refreshing (regetting) the metric values, and save is for saving the values to a file. Please help me with this, and be informed that this is my first Win32 app, so bear with me... File is attached. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Declare Yourself - Register online to vote today! http://vote.yahoo.com

Re: Fix for bug 824 - proper handling of REG_MULTI_SZ

Randy Galbraith <randy.galbraith(a)cox.net> writes: > This proposed patch addresses the concern raised by bug 824. This > patch changes the handling of REG_MULTI_SZ from REG_SZ to REG_BINARY. Do you actually have an app that depends on this? I agree that in theory we should preserve the data exactly, but this means giving up on an easily editable registry format, so it should be done only if something really needs it. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Re: winapi_check and 16 bit -register functions

They could, but that will require some changes to the .spec.c code, right now the calling convention is based on the type specified in the spec file, so pascal register functions have to be WINAPI. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Re: [dx9-12] Major change to desgin

I don't think that's a good idea. If you are using COM interfaces then you need to use them the COM way, this means IWineD3D should derive from IUnknown and freeing it should be done through the Release method. If you don't want to use standard COM then don't declare COM interfaces at all, create your own mechanism. > Instead, when any Direct3D<interface><8/9> is Released to zero, then it > calls a Free method in its WineD3D equivalent interface. I also changed the > IWineD3D interface to contain, as a void *, a pointer to its 'parent' (by > which I mean the Direct3D8/9 interface) plus a function (GetParent) which > returns that pointer. This is bad too, you shouldn't use void*, you should use proper types, at the very least IUnknown*, but preferably define an IWineD3DUser interface or something like that. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org
