Re: #3 - shell32/systray.c

[Mike Hearn]

Hi Steven,

I have a pretty big patch against the system tray code, and it's going
to get bigger.

Hopefully in the next few days I will get time to properly reverse
engineer (if it's not already documented) the interaction between
shell32 and explorer, so we can implement this using a separate
wineshell executable.

Is there anything you need from us for ReactOS? If the message protocol
is documented I guess you guys can just implement server support in your
explorer for it, am I right?

thanks -mike

I am not 100% sure but I think your patch will be enough. We already
have some systray support in our Explorer when running on Windows. Take
a look at running explorer under WINE and see if it will help any.

Thanks
Steven

Could you send me an EXE of that, if it's convenient? I have no idea how
easy/hard it is to build ReactOS but I doubt it's a configure, make,
make install :)

I am having trouble running the latest build under WINE but you are
welcome to try. You can also try building it as a Winelib app. Martin
has provided a Winelib Makefile so you can just checkout the source for
explorer and build it under Linux.

Here is his site that provides the CVS information:
http://www.sky.franken.de/explorer/

And here is a Win32 binary:
http://mail.gleneagle.net/sedwards/explorer.exe

Thanks
Steven

Cool!  I had no idea it is so complete.  Works wonderfully in Windows XP.
I'm thinking about using it instead of Total Commander.
