I am a delphi developer (not limited to this language, I have done several projects in C, C#, as well as assembly but for the purposes of this email I am a delphi developer). I am experiencing some weirdness in regards to the richedit control in regards to database access (Specifically TDBRichEdit), Since I am a delphi developer using wine this means I have access to A) My programs source code, B) Delphis VCL source code (So i can view how delphi manages the richedit control which in this case is split up among 3 files) and C) The Wine source code. I have two questions 1) Since Delphi does not actually implement any of richedits features, merely wraps around them I should be in the clear to create a patch to wine to correct this functionality correct? and 2) What method is best to watch the api interaction going on in my application so I can see if wine is returning any weirdness that it shouldnt (do normal windows api spy programs work under wine?).
