Smartwin++ - Status

Status of SmartWin self-tests and Samples

This is a matrix on the different samples we provide with SmartWin++ and how (if) they work in the different compilers we support and the different platforms we support.
Note that this the current CVS version. The latest download version may differ. It mostly should function as a basis to see what you can expect from the NEXT version of SmartWin++ or what you will get if you use the CVS version through anonymous access.

iolib	Works as of 10. Dec 2005 Though when not started from inside the IDE it doesn't find the initialization files so it doesn't display google/ibm etc in the combo box...	Works as of 10. Dec 2005	Doesn't exists with a Win CE sample project	Compiles but MAPI services are not available on Wine, code guarded by the __WINE__ macro (LPMAPISENDMAIL undeclared, does not know about MAPISENDMAIL either.) Had to add -lwsock32 (wininet) as linking library. After commenting out mapi, iolib comes up, Does not show any text in the boxes because the state.html file is missing ! I add state.html back. When loading state.html, the get ( WidgetDataGrid *w)function in html_get.h attempts to set the column width with: w->setColumnWidth( c, LVSCW_AUTOSIZE_USEHEADER ) and that function crashes.(You can comment it out, and iolib will come up.) But put sizing code beforehand and it will come up. Its winebug 3934. InDialog comes up, but should be a bit wider. colors change, date works, scissors rock paper ok, Password attribute fails though... in plaintext. iostream to textbox fails but the tcp iostream actually worked!

(Takes very long on SUSE GCC4) All windows can be created, but after around 4-5 child windows, it crashes. Edit: has squigles instead of _][ X symbols for minimize, maximize, and close buttons. The Ftp read works . There is a bug in the test when adding a column when there is already some row data. Column deletion crashs. Tree: adding element results in last chars being chopped.
swDll	Works as of 10. Dec 2005	Works as of 10. Dec 2005	Doesn't exists with a Win CE sample project	Untested in wine. The source is too new for the release version used to tryWine. ASW Nov 13, 2005

WidgetMenu	Works as of 10. Dec 2005 Icons doesn't show up if started from the debug folder instead of through the IDE since it relies on finding the bmp/icon files which exists in the sample root directory and not within the debug folder.	Works as of 10. Dec 2005	Doesn't exists with a Win CE sample project	works, but the new fancy menu does not appear at all. ( Line 244 of MenuExtended.h: int count = ::GetMenuString( handle, wrapper->index, &buffer[0], length, MF_BYPOSITION ); returns 0.

General Notes on the OS dependent portions of SmartWin++

Windows

As the base OS, Windows supports all features of SmartWin++

Windows CE

Certain features are missing from Windows CE such as:

Animation of closing and opening of windows.

Also the screen sizes are smaller, thus layouts should not assume wide widths are available.

Wine (Linux)

Certain features are missing from Wine such as:

Animation of closing and opening of windows.

mapi support for email.

The existing source needs these generic changes to make it Wine compilable.

Most .rc files have #include "afxres.h" instead of "winres.h". Apperntly afx is MFC specific, and winres.h is not. We could just change all the .rc includes but then perhaps the MSVC++ resource editer would get confused or put them back ?

The case of #includes must be exactly correct, ie #include "SmartWin.h" not "smartwin.h" or "Smartwin.h". Hopefully all are fixed in the latest CVS now. Likewise with #include "Resource.h" instead of #include "resource.h"

File paths and name in Unix are of the pattern /dir/dir/filename, and on windows c:\dir\dir\filename. The file selection dialogs under WINE on Linux have been compile time defined to produce a Unix type filepath. So if the program expects a Windows type pathname and wants to parse the file path itself it should handle this situation in __WINE__ conditional code.
