COMMON CONTROLS
|
|
their development status
|
|
and their UNDOCUMENTED features and functions
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Introduction
|
|
---------------
|
|
The information provided herein is based on the dll version 4.72 which
|
|
is included in MS Internet Explorer 4.01.
|
|
|
|
All information about common controls should be collected in this document.
|
|
|
|
All Wine programmers are encouraged to add their knowledge to this document.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. General Information
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Further information about common controls can be found in the MS Platform SDK
|
|
and the MS Internet Client SDK (most recent). Information from these SDK's
|
|
will NOT be repeated here. Only information which can NOT be found in these
|
|
SDK's will be collected here. Some information in the SDK's mentioned above
|
|
is (intentionally???) WRONG. Corrections to wrong information will be
|
|
collected here too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Controls

This paragraph describes the development status of the common controls.

|
|
|

|
|
- Almost finished.
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
-------------------
|
|
Status:
|
|
- Nothing done at all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.8 Image List (no control)
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
Author:
|
|
Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>
|
|
|
|
Status:
|
|
- Almost finished.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
Most of my test programs work as expected. But when image lists are used
|
|
in other controls (e.g. Toolbar) they don't seem to be error-free.
|
|
It looks like I have to do a major re-write (use DIB's instead of DDB's).
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.9 IP Address Control
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Status:
|
|
- Nothing done at all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.10 List View Control
|
|
----------------------
|
|
Status:
|
|
- Nothing done at all.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
This control id NEEDED in many places. Any volunteers??
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.11 Month Calendar Control
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
Status:
|
|
- Nothing done at all.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.12 Pager Control
|
|
------------------
|
|
Status:
|
|
- Dummy control. No functionality.
|
|
- Not yet published.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
The dummy source code is available from the author.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.13 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
-------------------
|
|
Status:
|
|
- Nothing done at all.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
- This control id NEEDED in many places.
|
|
- Tab control has to be implemented first.
|

Any volunteers??

Have a look at controls/status.c for a list of bugs and missing features.
|
|
|

3.22 Updown Control
|

-------------------
|
|
Author:
|
|
Original implementation by Dimitrie O. Paun.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Any volunteers??
|

|

|
4. Additional Information
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Has to be written...
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Undocumented features
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
There are quite a lot of undocumented functions like:
|
|
- DSA (Dynnamic String 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 String Arrays ??? (DSA)
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
Most of the DSA functions are implemented. I used TASKMAN.EXE to write them.
|
|
Since TASKMAN.EXE doesn't bail out or crash I think I've done it right.
|
|
|
|
Have a look at the source code to get more information.
|
|
Further documentation will be written...
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.2 Dynamic Pointer Arrays ??? (DPA)
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
Similar to the DSA functions, but they just store pointers. I have written
|
|
some stubs and semi-stubs. They are used by Explorer and IE4 but the
|
|
implementation is still incomplete since both programs seem to crash because
|
|
of other incomplete functions.
|
|
|
|
Have a look at the source code to get more information.
|
|
Further documentation will be written...
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.3 MenuHelp
|
|
------------
|
|
Has to be written...
|
|
|
|
|
|
5.4 GetEffectiveClientRect
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
Has to be written...
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
