controls/edit.c not so clean - help please
by Carl Sopchak 11 Nov '02

11 Nov '02

The following code is in the EDIT_MakeFit() function: if ((es->buffer_limit > 0) && (size > es->buffer_limit)) { EDIT_NOTIFY_PARENT(es, EN_MAXTEXT, "EN_MAXTEXT"); return FALSE; } if ((es->buffer_limit > 0) && (size > es->buffer_limit)) size = es->buffer_limit; Obviously, the second IF condition is never true, since it's the same as the prior IF, which does a 'return FALSE'. EDIT_MakeFit() is ONLY called by EDIT_EM_ReplaceSel(), so it sppears that the second IF is attempting to limit the amount of text that is replaced to the buffer_limit. Obviously, the first IF just notifies the parent that the limit would be exceeded, then returns without modifying the edit control. Although EDIT_MakeFit() is only called from one place, EDIT_EM_ReplaceSel() is called all over the place, enumerated below. Can anyone tell me if any of these invocations should (a) fail without replacing, (b) replace the limited amount of text, or (c) ignore the limit? EDIT_WM_Clear() - Processes WM_CLEAR message - I assume it's moot here... Processing of EM_REPLACESEL message. See note below... EDIT_EM_Undo() - Processes EM_UNDO and WM_UNDO messages EDIT_WM_Char() - Process WM_CHAR message EDIT_WM_Create() - Processes WM_CREATE message - I assume it's moot here... EDIT_WM_Paste - Process WM_PASTE message EDIT_WM_SetText - Process WM_SETTEXT message. See note below... Note: Under the message EM_LIMITTEXT, MSDN states that WM_SETTEXT will not adhear to the limit, but doesn't mention any other text modification messages. The man pages for the other messages do not mention how it's action is effected by the limit. MSDN does state "The EM_LIMITTEXT message limits only the text the user can enter." Unfortunately, I don't have a MS Windows box readily available to test some of these things out on... - - - - - - - - - Another question about this code from controls/edit.c/EDIT_WM_Char(): /* Protect read-only edit control from modification */ if(es->style & ES_READONLY) return; /* BECAUSE OF THIS... */ control = GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL) & 0x8000; switch (c) { case '\r': /* If the edit doesn't want the return and it's not a multiline edit, do nothing */ if(!(es->style & ES_MULTILINE) && !(es->style & ES_WANTRETURN)) break; case '\n': if (es->style & ES_MULTILINE) { if (es->style & ES_READONLY) { /* ... WE NEVER GET HERE! */ EDIT_MoveHome(es, FALSE); EDIT_MoveDown_ML(es, FALSE); } else { static const WCHAR cr_lfW[] = {'\r','\n',0}; EDIT_EM_ReplaceSel(es, TRUE, cr_lfW, TRUE, TRUE); } } break; The place that I marked "/* BECAUSE OF THIS... */" means that the code marked by "/* ... WE NEVER GET HERE! */" will never get executed. My question: In a read only multiline edit control, should a newline move the cursor to the beginning of the next line of text in the control? (I could make this change, but don't have any way of testing it...) - - - - - Thanks for the help, Carl

Quicken 2000 / edit.c MakeFit() bug...
by Carl Sopchak 11 Nov '02

11 Nov '02

I'm having the following problem with Quicken 2000 Deluxe under wine (CVS as of Thursday morning [and all prior versions]): When I open an investment account, then click on the security name in an existing transaction, and that security name is fairly long (say, 20+ characters), the name gets replaced by the trandaction date! This does not happen with MS Windows. (Before I go any farther, I must say that I know virtually NOTHING about windows programming, and only a small bit more about Wine coding and debugging...) After spending two days drudging through --debugmsg +all logs, I think I have a pretty good idea what's happening. It appears that Quicken uses a single Edit Control for all of it's input fields. When the account is opened, the initial editable field is the date of a new transaction. Quicken sets the maximum input length (with EM_LIMITTEXT) to 10. (Makes sense for a date...) This sets buffer_limit in it's EDITSTATE to 10. Now, when you then go and click on the security name in that existing transaction, Quicken uses WM_SETTEXT to set it's value. Under Wine, this fails, because the size of the string is greater than es->buffer_limit (checked near the top of EDIT_MakeFit() in controls/edit.c). Now, EDIT_MakeFit() does notify Quicken with EN_MAXTEXT, but Quicken doesn't seem to respond in any sensible manner (like getting a bigger control and trying again). (I have not followed this path past this point, but I know that the security name gets wiped out...) Quicken will, AFTER issuing the SETTEXT, try to re-size the field with EM_LIMITTEXT to 30, a security name length. I quote from MSDN (EM_LIMITTEXT Message Remarks section): "The EM_LIMITTEXT message limits only the text the user can enter. It does not affect any text already in the edit control when the message is sent, nor does it affect the length of the text copied to the edit control by the WM_SETTEXT message. If an application uses the WM_SETTEXT message to place more text into an edit control than is specified in the EM_LIMITTEXT message, the user can edit the entire contents of the edit control. " So, according to MSDN, the WM_SETTEXT should successfully set the text to the full length, regardless of the value of buffer_limit. I am in the process of making this change and testing it. I guess my main concern at this point is, "Are there any other ramifications to making this change that I should be concerned about?" If anyone wants to point me in a direction here, I'll follow through... Carl

Well, I for one (though as i'm not writing the code this is just my comments) would not be willing to choose a rendering engine based on whether it works or not on platform X. Both Mozilla and KHTML work quite well on a large number of platforms. I'd need to know a lot more about why Mozilla doesn't work well on OpenBSD before ruling out gecko - like, is it due to something missing on OpenBSD itself. In particular due to the very few numbers of people using it on the desktop, I'd say if Mozilla doesn't work on that platform it's the problem of obsd or mozilla, not Wine. On the other hand, I don't really think Gecko is right for this anyway, so it's something of a moot point. Generally though I'd say that making decisions based on what certain platforms can and cannot do is a bad idea when said platform is in the minority of usage (esp when it's all open source).

Probably it would be helpful to add that even under NT based OSes Win32 is implemented (emulated) on the top of the Native API. In other words even Microsoft platforms has another layer of APIs under Win32 API. -- Dmitry.

Dear Wine, I have been discussing using WINE as an alternate platform for our company as a way of porting our code to Linux. Something I belive is in the interestes of all centient companies. I have been told that there is a problem of running .OCX visual controls though Wine. Can somebody clarify this for me? With thanks, Ben Clewett.

Question regarding the debate over whether Wine Is Not an Emulator or not..
by Dustin Navea 11 Nov '02

11 Nov '02

In the wine users guide intro it says, and I quote: The former method uses emulation to connect a Windows application to the Wine libraries. You can run your Windows application directly with the emulator, by installing through Wine or by simply copying the Windows executables onto your Linux system. Should I change this or no, because AFAIK, to some people "emulators have not and will not ever un things as fast as the original" and that would give them a bad idea about wine. -Dustin __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

For end-user documentation, make {doc, allseparate} is the way to go. Actually, the advantage of make_winehq is to be able to cvs co wine/documentation only, and still be able to build the doc.

Re: int21 move a0-a7
by Jukka Heinonen 10 Nov '02

10 Nov '02

Patch a1 is wrong and must not be applied. Function 0x0c is really a recursive call and cannot be handled this way. Simple fix would be to call DOSVM_Int21Handler from function 0x0c handler after AH register has been modified (and lets add a detailed comment here this time so everybody understands what 0x0c really does...). Call me blind, but I fail to see how DOSCONF_config gets initialized after patch a2. This set of patches break DOS3Call and calling INT21 using VXDs and DeviceIoControl. I have no idea how much these interfaces are used but I guess this will be fixed in a future patch? Actually the same problem exists with all those interrupt handlers that can be invoked through VXDs. However, other handlers do still work because I have not yet posted patches that touch those handlers. I already know how to fix this issue but I want to work slowly and wait until pending interrupt patches either get applied or rejected before posting anything new. Nogs patches already modify the same files as my patches and I want things to stabilize a bit. Anyway, I don't have time for reviewing patches of this size; those above comments were produced by quickly scanning through the patches and they were really easy to spot. I give up and leave fixing int21 stuff to Nog. -- Jukka Heinonen <http://www.iki.fi/jhei/>

Just so people don't double up, I'll let everyone know I'm working on a CHM viewer. Although I still havn't worked out how I will do the actual HTML viewing, my first priority is to actually build code to parse the file :) I might even ponder implementing a simple IWebBrowser implementation based off of Konq-Embedded/khtml, which would be -extremely- easy... and best of all, light-weight (there is NO way I'm going to install Mozilla/Win32 to have large portions of WINE working, I can't afford the diskspace!) Of course the whole GPL vs LGPL thing is a bit of an annoyance. - Ender

Re: ddraw fix

> Probably application bug: it called DIB_DirectDrawSurface_Blt > with .bottom > 36000, seems like DirectDraw sanitized the values. Well, I would prefer the fix to be different... For example, it seems to be valid to have negative top values as long as 'bottom - top' is valid (as it seems that DDraw will clip the blit for you). Problem is that if negative top is valid, then bottom being bigger than dwHeight should be valid too. And your patch will thus prevent this case to work. Did you try to simply return an error message (instead of doing the assert) to see if you see any graphical glitches ? Anyway, I am installing Mingw + the DirectX SDKs to do some test apps on a Win2K laptop. I will try this case to see if I manage to see what real Windows does.

This is what I did. the gcc included in dev-c++ is a statically linked that doesn't need the cygwin1.dll to run. But that I looked particularily at compiling cygwin under wine. Using the cygwin under is difficult for the moment, as bash and sh both refuse to run today. > I presume this is possible, although the other interesting approach > would be > to run the gcc binary from mingw/cygin under wine itself.

Resolving winelib dll dependencies
by Nix N. Nix 10 Nov '02

10 Nov '02

I have an application that consists of a single DLL and the EXE. I have the sources required for the DLL in one directory and I have used winemaker --dll to create the infrastructure for building the winelib dll. It worked. So, now, I have "nix_ctls.dll.so". My problem is that I cannot, for some reason use nix_ctls.dll.so as I would, say comctl32.dll.so . What I mean is this: The sources for the EXE are in another directory. Both are subdirectories of the "project" directory. The name of the EXE is supposed to be "iconmake.exe", if it were compiled under Windoze. So, naturally, my Makefile contains a setting called "iconmake_DLLS". To this setting I have appended "nix_ctls.dll" and to the "iconmake_DLL_PATH" I have appended "-L../nix_ctls". This makes everything work, except the spec thing. This is what that one says: gcc -c -g -O2 -fPIC -D_REENTRANT -DWINELIB -I../common -I. -I/usr/wine/include/wine -o iconmake.spec.o iconmake.spec.c gcc -shared -Wl,-Bsymbolic -o iconmake.so dlg_box.o filedlgs.o mdi_icon.o ../common/helper.o ../common/debugmsg.o ../common/instance.o ../common/dynarray.o mdichild.o toolbars.o iconmake.spec.o -L/usr/wine/lib -lwine -lwine_unicode -lwine_uuid -lm dlg_box.o: In function `PickIconDlg': /home/nix/source/mdi_icon/iconmake/dlg_box.c:396: undefined reference to `InitPicPick' mdichild.o: In function `ChildWndProc': /home/nix/source/mdi_icon/iconmake/mdichild.c:86: undefined reference to `InitEditorWindow' toolbars.o: In function `CreateTheRebar': /home/nix/source/mdi_icon/iconmake/toolbars.c:23: undefined reference to `InitColourControl' Where do I specify "nix_ctls.dll" and the corresponding path "../nix_ctls" in the Makefile so that it will be added to this command as it is added to the command before it, which is: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/wine/lib:/usr/wine/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:../nix_ctls" /usr/wine/bin/winebuild -fPIC -o iconmake.spec.c -res mdi_icon.res -L/usr/wine/lib -L../nix_ctls -L/usr/wine/lib/wine -ladvapi32.dll -lcomdlg32.dll -lgdi32.dll -lkernel32.dll -lodbc32.dll -lole32.dll -loleaut32.dll -lshell32.dll -luser32.dll -lcomctl32.dll -lnix_ctls.dll -lwinspool.drv -m gui -exe iconmake dlg_box.o filedlgs.o mdi_icon.o ../common/helper.o ../common/debugmsg.o ../common/instance.o ../common/dynarray.o mdichild.o toolbars.o This command works fine, because the library paths and -l settings are all there. Thanks for your help.
