Maybe so, but it looks obviously incorrect. Not everything that seems to fix problems is a real fix. You maybe hiding a bigger issue. The fix as you sent it can't be right, but you maybe on to something. Someone knowledgable in the area should express a more informed opinion. -- Dimi.

Announcing #winehackers
by Mike Hearn 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

Hi guys, One of the action items decided on at wineconf was to set up an IRC channel for Wine developers. This channel now exists and is #winehackers. Key points to be aware of are: * It's on freenode * It is for developers only, user tech support (how do i run counterstrike?) etc should be/will be bounced to #winehq * There are a lot of ops. This is intentional. Often on #winehq there are problems caused by users but there are no ops around (only like 3 guys have op access to it). Me (TD), Mike McCormack (mike_m) and Francois Gouget (fgouget) have the ability to add people to the auto-op list through virtue of being the first guys into the channel. * The channel is modelled after #gnome-hackers on gimpnet, which has been a great success with buy-in from even their busiest, most core hackers (hint hint alexandre :) * All wine hackers are welcome, this most explicitly includes WineX dudes * No topic is offtopic. Have fun! I'll submit a patch to add mention of it to the WineHQ website, but #gnome-hackers grew to a huge number of people just through word of mouth so there's no real hurry. Tell your friends, rescue budding wine hackers from the helpdesk that is #winehq etc. It's a resource that is there to be used, so use it. thanks -mike

Hi, I searched archives, but not found solution for my problem. I try to run a EMS QuickDesk application on wine, everything going fine until i wan't to connect to database.

On testing purposes i make a simple delphi prog, you can download it from http://eclsoft.no-ip.com/project.exe.gz Help me, please. -- regards Greg

PATCH: SPI_GETGRADIENTCAPTIONS
by J C 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Hi All, I've put together a little patch to allow SystemParametersInfoA to read an actual registry value for SPI_GETGRADIENTCAPTIONS instead of the default 'false' that was returned all the time (got tired of seeing those fixmes). I based the registry information off of this page: http://212.203.14.81/virtualp/html/ui_tips.html How does this patch look? It's the first i've put together for Wine (so be easy ;). I will continue to flesh out the remaining UI settings (at least those that apply in all versions of windows (9x,nt,2000,xp) if there is interest and i'm on the right path here. The only thing i can think of us doing is reading these values from the Window Manager instead of our own registry values. Are there standard ways of detecting this or is it just best left in the registry? I have included the patch as well as the Reg Key for these settings (with gradient captions disabled by default).

GetBitmapDimensionEx() usage in STATIC_PaintBitmapfn()
by Ge van Geldorp 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

The call to GetBitmapDimensionEx() and the use of the returned size as the x and y offset for the BitBlt in controls/static.c function STATIC_PaintBitmapfn (around line 576) looks incorrect to me. Does anyone have an idea what the purpose of that code could be? Gé van Geldorp.

Wineps.drv not a fully windows compliant printer driver?
by ceztko＠libero.it 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

1 week ago, i posted a msg (subject: 16bit app calls wineps.drv, but wine has wineps.dll) in the ml reporting a run-time error 482: Printer Error with a 16 bit app. Weel, that report is not rappresentative of the problem, it seems more complicated than i tought. At MSDN, i found: Printer error (Error 482) There is some problem that prevents printing. This error has the following causes and solutions: * You don't have a printer installed from the Windows Control Panel. Open the Control Panel, double-click the Printers icon, and choose Add Printer to install a printer. * Your printer isn't online. Physically switch the printer online. * Your printer is jammed or out of paper. Physically correct the problem. * You tried to print a form to a printer that can accept only text. Switch to an installed printer that can print graphics. In windows, all is OK with all type of printer. After 2 weeks of attempts, i understood i'm unable to find the origin of the problem and a possible resolution. So, hoping you can help me, i did a snapshot of my wine configuration including the non-working app and the natives dll needed to run it (no problem of dependences: they should be ok). The snapshot is not very big (~7mb), and it's a simple copy of .wine dir with a testapp script (cd ..., WINEDLLOVERRIDES=... wine app.exe) to immediately run the fucking/non-working app. So, a backup of your .wine dir is needed. Weel, there's also the problem of trust: a new non-root user is OK =) My interest in this stupid business app is only to convert my father to linux, but if you can help me, a donation to the wine project is CERTAIN! Here the easy instruction: NB: Use a new non-root user for trust, or at least # mv .wine winebak 1 - Download to your home http://digilander.libero.it/ceztko/testapp.tar.gz 3 - # tar xvzf testapp.tar.gz 4 - # ./testapp The error message i get is this: run-time error '482': Printer Error ( http://digilander.libero.it/ceztko/snapshot-err.png ) Instead, it should be like this http://digilander.libero.it/ceztko/screenshot-ok.png . I'm unable to understand if is a my mis-configuration or a bug in wine (and maybe this snapshot is not weel configured anyway). But, after 2 weeks of attempts without results, using different printer configurations FROM SCRATCH (cups, file, original windows printer driver, ..), i'm almost sure this is a bug, or a sort of... Thanks for your help!

WineConf Webcast
by Uwe Bonnes 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Hallo, when is the webcast supposed to start today? Any chance to get non-choppy sound, even perhaps at the expense of no video stream? If we have a video stream, can the camera OSD perhaps be disables? Any conclusions why the stream yesterday was tagged "non-cachable", perhaps resulting in the choopy sound due to network latencies?

No, that's not a solution, that's a workaround. (And it's -X you want.) Wine should be able to run commandline programs WITHOUT USING X IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM! This is a longstanding bug in Wine, and one that periodically makes my blood boil. The workaround I've used in the past is to create a .winetty directory with special settings to use the tty driver instead of the x driver, but that's a pain in the ass. - Dan

window focus working better?
by Alex Pasadyn 01 Feb '04

01 Feb '04

Greetings all! I just happened to run an installer with Wine and I forgot to trap it inside a desktop, and to my surprise, it did NOT put a big blank window up front, so I was able to use it normally. I had not used one of these in a while, so I tried a couple others, and they worked normally too (outside of desktop mode). Looking back through the logs, I think this patch may have fixed that issue, at least for a lot of cases: http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-cvs/2003/12/0156.html I couldn't see any discussion of this in here, so I was wondering if anyone else has seen similar results. I also tried several full-screen games that historically gave me keyboard focus trouble, and every one of them got keyboard input. I have not changed anything with my window manager, and reversing that patch causes the problem to return. So, is this working now for anyone else? Did I overlook the discussion? Alex
