Programming Windows (Fifth Edition)

2.9.1. Chapter 9 - BtnLook

Last updated: 2001/2/28

Description

The left part shows one button of each kind and the right part displays the messages received when you click/double-click on these buttons. Note that the ownerdrawn button is not fully implemented.

Wine tests

Each button should be displayed on a gray rectangle as shown in this snapshot. But in Wine the background is white which makes the last button, an ownerdraw button, invisible. See bug #54.
The messages check out.

Winelib tests

Same as with Wine.

2.9.2. Chapter 9 - Colors1

Last updated: 2001/2/28

Description

Splits the window in two parts. The left part contains three scrollbars: one for the red, one for the green and one for the blue. The right half shows the resulting color.

Note that if you resie the window so that the scrollbars don't have a thumb anymore or so that the scrollbars are very narrow, then there are big problems with the blinking caret. You can even go so far as to make the scrollbars disappear but the caret will still be visible.

Wine tests

The scrollbars don't show until I resize the window or click on them.
The scrollbars normally have a grey border on the sides. See this screenshot. In Wine there is no border.
The scrollbar's thumb caret overlaps one pixel of the thumb's border on each side. Furthermore it should be a checkboard pattern, not a uniform gray pattern.
In managed mode, the minimum horizontal window size is not respected.
Under extreme resizing, the scrollbars have problems displaying the caret that are similar to those windows has.

Winelib tests

Same as with Wine.

2.9.3. Chapter 9 - Environ

Last updated: 2001/2/28

Description

Displays the names of the environment variables sorted alphabetically in a listbox. Selecting one of them displays its value in a text label right above.

Wine tests

Works just fine.

Winelib tests

Same as with Wine.

2.9.4. Chapter 9 - OwnDraw

Last updated: 2001/2/28

Description

This example implements two ownerdrawn buttons. These buttons decrease and increase the size of the window by 10% respectively. There is a minimum window size and once you reach it the window size will remain constant and the window will shift to the right!

Wine tests

Works just like on Windows.

Winelib tests

Same as with Wine.

2.9.5. Chapter 9 - PopPad1

Last updated: 2001/4/1

Description

This is a simple text editor with scrollbars, right-click menu offering one-level undo, cut, copy, paste, delete and select all functionality. The usual keyboard shortcuts also work (Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Ins,...)

Wine tests

The bottom right corner normally shows the '/.' resizing zone. It is not visible in Wine (I saw it some time ago on other programs but it did not work anyway, was it removed because of that?).
In Windows there is a black border around the edit area. This border is not there in Wine. Also there is a bevel in Wine (right inside the window's border) that is not there in Windows.See the screenshot.
If I have done some copy/paste, I get the following message on program exit:
```
err:clipboard:X11DRV_CLIPBOARD_LaunchServer Could not create wait object. Clipboard server won't start!
    
```
Note that you may need to first add '$WINE_ROOT/windows/x11drv' to the path, so that wine can start wineclipserv.

Winelib tests

Same as with Wine.

2.9.6. Chapter 9 - head

Last updated: 2001/2/28

Description

Allows you to navigate the current disk using a listbox. Double-clicking on a directory shows the contents of this directory in the listbox. Double-clicking on a file displays the start of that file in the rest of the window.

Wine tests

The listbox should have a black border. It is recessed instead. See the screenshot. See also bug #56.

Winelib tests

head.c passes a pointer to an int instead of a DWORD (unsigned long) to ReadFile which generates a well deserved warning:
```
head.c: In function `WndProc':
head.c:179: warning: passing arg 4 of `ReadFile' from incompatible pointer type
    
```
