Common Controls
The common controls include both comctl32.dll and riched20.dll. This page contains any common controls related TODOs and bugs that need to be fixed.
Comctl32.dll
- Implement these controls and dialogs:
Does anybody seriously care about this control? It apparently has no use whatsoever except looking more 1998 than a regular scrollbar --MikeHearn
This is just a hack around not having font-linking. In Windows2000 and upwards it does nothing as these OSes have support for automatic font-linking --RobShearman
- Smooth Scroll
- (Re)audit these controls:
- Use the MS Control Spy test application to look for problems:
- Implement conformance tests for the following source files in dlls/comctl32:
- animate datetime draglist dsa flatsb hotkey ipaddress nativefont pager rebar smoothscroll status string syslink theming trackbar
- Some more details about controls:
Rebar
Rebar is a layout control in comctl32.dll, but it's big and hairy, so it has its own bugzilla component.
- rebar doesn't have a conformance test yet.
rebar is pretty horribly broken, these bugs utterly trash (for instance) WinSCP and cause problems with the left-hand sidebars in IE.
riched20.dll
Richedit is in its own dll, but is considered part of the common controls.
MatthewFinnicum has good information on what remains to be done here.
