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

• Open bugs in component wine-comctl32

• Implement these controls and dialogs:

  • Flat Scroll Bar

    • Does anybody seriously care about this control? It apparently has no use whatsoever except looking more 1998 than a regular scrollbar --MikeHearn

  • Native Font

    • 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:

  • Header msdn reference

  • Tab msdn reference

  • Tree-View msdn reference

• Use the MS Control Spy test application to look for problems:

  • Bug 239: Test Wine with the Common Control Spy Samples

• 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:

  • HeaderControl

Rebar

Rebar is a layout control in comctl32.dll, but it's big and hairy, so it has its own bugzilla component.

• Open bugs in component wine-Rebar

• 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.

  • Bug 239 Control Spy tool: Rebar.exe

• msdn ref, msdn ref2

riched20.dll

Richedit is in its own dll, but is considered part of the common controls.

• Open bugs in component wine-richedit

• msdn reference

• MatthewFinnicum has good information on what remains to be done here.
