This would be great but how do you do with COM objects. What did you do 
for your direct3d hooking.

BTW, I remember I had a problem with a registry key that was closed and 
read afterwards.
I've never figured out why the app closes this key. API hooking would 
have been usefull.
Is there something available for doing that?

Well, this is a pet project I had for a long time (and maybe will do the day
I will have a faster PC and QEMU runs any Windows version in a reasonnable
speed :-) ).

Basically, take the Wine DirectX framework (i.e. all the COM object methods
+ TRACEing) and just use it to 'wrap' the real API. The only stuff to be
careful are the functions returning new COM objects (either creation
functions or QueryInterface) and callbacks.

A part from that, it's something that is definitely doable in a day hacking
session :-)

D3D8_GetCreationParameters fix

[Christian Costa]

Hi,

From what I'm hearing, there is some code that is usefull and not part 
of the Wine project.
Does it worth adding it to Wine so every one can use it to ease 
debugging of apps under Windows?

Bye,
Christian

I remember someone on the ReactOS team gave me the hook related stuff. 
(I cant remember who)
What I do is to modify the target to load the hook dll instead of the 
normal dll. The hook dll then loads the normal dll and hooks whatever 
direct3d functions you like...
