Wine, WineLib and "Programming Windows 95"

2.9.1. Chapter 10 - grafmenu

Last updated: 2003/5/4

Description

This example shows how to put bitmaps and menu items with weird fonts and sizes in the menus. Note that the bitmap is actually put in the system menu. Here are some screenshots showing what the application looks like in Win95 and Win98:

Win95 - disabled window
Win95 - active window with a popped up menu
Win98 - disabled window
Win98 - active window with a popped up menu

Wine tests

The look of the items when they are selected or highlighted is different between Win95 and Win98 and... Wine. The best is to check out the screenshots. I have also made Wine screenshots to show how they now look in my modified Wine tree:
Win95 look screenshot
Win98 look screenshot

Winelib tests

grafmenu.c is incorrect. It uses NULL where we should really have a '0', thus this compilation warning (same as on Windows). Since it's just a warning it does not warrant a patch, we can just ignore it:
```
grafmenu.c: In function `WinMain':
grafmenu.c:75: warning: passing arg 3 of `AppendMenuA' makes integer from pointer without a cast
    
```
Works just like with Wine.

2.9.2. Chapter 10 - menudemo

Last updated: 2003/5/4

Description

Opens a window with a menu. Most menu items are unimplemented and simply produce a beep. You can change the background color, start a timer which will produce a beep per second, or display the about and help.

Wine tests

Works just like on Windows.

2.9.3. Chapter 10 - nopopups

Last updated: 2003/5/4

Description

This example uses a weird system of replaceable menus. When you click on "File..." the menu is replaced by the contents of the file menu. The las item "(principal)" allows you to go back to the main menu.

2.9.4. Chapter 10 - poormenu

Last updated: 2000/12/2

Description

This example shows how to use the system menu.

Wine tests

This example does not work in managed mode. This is normal. In that case the menu is handled by the window manager and there is no garanteee that it will let us modify it.
