3.14 Progress Bar Control
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
Author:
|
|
Original implementation by Dimitrie O. Paun.
|
|
Fixes and improvements by Eric Kohl.
|
|
|
|
Status:
|
|
Almost finished (should behave like the original).
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
WM_GETFONT and WM_SETFONT are not implemented yet. They seem to be
|
|
useless because progress bars usually don't display any textual
|
|
information. But if M$ implemented an undocumented flag to display
|
|
textual information (e.g. percentage) these messages would make sense.

Some minor changes by Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>.

Status:

- Unknown.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
- Have a look at controls/updown.c for a list of bugs and missing
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
- The status is unknown, because I did not have a close look at this
|
|
control. One test-program looked quite good, but in Win95's
|
|
cdplayer.exe the control does not show at all.

4. Additional Information
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Has to be written...
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Undocumented features
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
There are quite a lot of undocumented functions like:
|
|
- DSA (Dynnamic Storage Array) functions.
|
|
- DPA (Dymnamic Pointer Array) functions.
|
|
- MRU ("Most Recently Used" List) functions.
|
|
- other unknown functions.
|
|
|
|
Have a look at relay32/comctl32.spec.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.1 Dymnamic Storage Array (DSA)
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
The DSA functions are used to store and manage dynamic arrays of fixed size
|
|
memory blocks. They are used by TASKMAN.EXE, Explorer, IE4 and other
|
|
Programs and DLL's that are "parts of the Windows Operating System".
|
|
The implementation should be complete.
|
|
|
|
Have a look at the source code to get more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.2 Dynamic Pointer Array (DPA)
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
Similar to the DSA functions, but they just store pointers. They are used by
|
|
Explorer, IE4 and other Programs and DLL's that are "parts of the Windows
|
|
Operating System". The implementation should be complete.
|
|
|
|
Have a look at the source code to get more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.3 "Most Recently Used" - List (MRU)
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
The function 'COMCTL32_157()' could be called 'CreateMRUListEx32A()'.
|
|
Only stubs are implemented to keep Explorer from bailing out.
|
|
|
|
No more information available at this time!
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.4 MenuHelp
|
|
------------
|
|
Has to be written...
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.5 GetEffectiveClientRect
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Has to be written...
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.6 ShowHideMenuCtl
|
|
-------------------
|
|
The official documentation provided by MS is incomplete.
|
|
|
|
lpInfo:
|
|
...
|
|
Both values of the first pair must be the handle to the applications main
|
|
menu.
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.7 Other undocumented functions
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
Several other undocumented functions are used by IE4.
|
|
|
|
COMCTL32_11, COMCTL_385, COMCTL32_386 and COMCTL32_388.
|
|
Their stubs are implemented to keep IE4 from bailing out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Epilogue
|
|
-----------
|
|
You see, much work has still to be done. If you are interested in writing
|
|
a control send me an e-mail. If you like to fix bugs or add some
|
|
functionality send an e-mail to the author of the control.
