tips needed for implementing the common control ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES

[James Hawkins]

Hi,

I've had a lot of people ask me about how well kazaa lite runs in
wine, so I will be working on getting it to work.  The install file is
called klitekpp243e.exe, and the setup works great.  (NOTE: im trying
to get the app to work without having to use any native dlls) After
the installation of klite, a program called KLConfigWizard.exe is run.
 It's a dialog box with some text initially, then when you click the
next button, the user encounters a fatal error and we're sent to the
debugger.  The error is:

fixme:commctrl:InitCommonControlsEx Unknown class! dwICC=0x4000

The unknown class is one of the two control classes left to be
implemented in commctrl: ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES.  I would like to
implement this class, but I have no idea where to start.  I've
searched msdn for ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES, but it only turned up a link
to the INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX structure.  If anyone has any ideas or
hints that they can give me, I would really appreciate it.  Thanks for
your time.

I'm reading through msdn some more and they say ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES should

"Load one of the intrinsic User32 control classes. The user controls
include button, edit, static, listbox, combobox, and scrollbar."

If I'm remembering, those controls are already implemented in
wine/controls.  Maybe ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES just loads one/several of
these controls for the user.  I'm really not sure though, and I'm sure
someone on wine-devel knows a lot more about this than me.

This is all just speculation, but maybe it's possible that Kazaa uses a
non-standard control in it's code?  That wouldn't surprise me,
especially when one considers the complex peer-to-peer concepts behind
how it works.

ditto, probably.

By without native dlls, are you referring to without all standard
windows dlls, (meaning you can use the dlls supplied with kazaa lite) or
without all dlls, period, end of story?  The former should be easier,
right?

You could be right about this, but I'm pretty sure it's
ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES that's needed, because the error I get when I try
to run wine is:

fixme:commctrl:InitCommonControlsEx Unknown class! dwICC=0x4000

I looked through wine/include and in commctrl.h we have:

ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES   0x00004000

and in dlls/comctrl32/commctrl.c we have:

* FIXME
 *     implement the following control classes:
 *       ICC_LINK_CLASS
 *       ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES

in the docs of InitCommonControlsEx.

Yea if kazaa gives us dlls to use...we'll use em.

If it works on Windows 2000, for example, (or using comctl32.dll v5.81 
instead of v6) then this is not the cause.

It doesn't use common controls to implement its peer-to-peer concepts.

Could you send me the backtrace and/or try the patch in this message:

Assuming that the program works on operating systems older than XP, this 
message is not the cause of your problems.

To implement ICC_STANDARD_CLASSES would mean copying a bunch of code 
from user32 (or being really clever and somehow reusing it) and then 
implementing the few new messages, which usually involve being able to 
use image lists and using themes.

Here is the output of the program and the backtrace.

I did a full cvs update on the wine tree, recompiled and installed,
and the kazaa lite wizard does not crash when you click next.  I'm not
exactly sure what caused this, but it is great to be able to move on. 
Thanks for all the help.
