Hi, I would like some advice about Ole function redirection. The winsock16 dll maps some operations to ws2_32 dll, I thought I could do the same with Ole16disp to Oleaut32. For example the function SAFEARRAYALLOCDESCRIPTOR in Ole16disp have a similar counterpart named SafeArrayAllocDescriptor in Oleaut32. There are dozens of functions like this if you look in the spec files of these dlls. I added oleaut32 to the imports and started mapping by making one line functions, for example SAFEARRAYALLOCDESCRIPTOR simply return calling SafeArrayAllocDescriptor from Ole32. Is it ok to do it like this?
I implemented SafeArrayAlloc[Descriptor/Data] and SafeArrayDestroy[Descriptor/Data] and they seem to be working, then I started implementing some of the others and testing with the application winverbs from bug #28113. Is there any msdn documentation like to these old functions? I would like to compare the function parameters in some cases.
Thanks in advance, Bruno

Hi
No, both the function API and the structure fields for the 16 bit SAFEARRAY* functions are different from the 32 bit versions. 16 bit OLE in Wine looks like a complete rewrite.
There is no MSDN documentation for any Win16 functions. Even OpenWatcom doesn't have headers or API documentation for 16 bit OLE. The only compiler I know of that does, is the commercial version of Digital Mars (http://www.digitalmars.com/shop.html).
