[ros-kernel] RE: Port for Comdlg32

[Steven E. <Ste...@kn...>]

Eric Kohl and I were discussing this a few weeks back, One of the problems I
had when I was working on doing a port was with the unicode support. Here is
the thread -

The common controls should only use 'windows.h', 'commctrl.h' and perhaps
dll internal header files. Declarations that are missing in the reactos
header files should be added to the reactos sdk header files. Unfortunately
we are still using the old mingw header files. Extensive rework is needed to
update the header file structure.

No, it is not that hard! Last week I had a long discussion with Guy
Albertelli about missing and undocumented features in the common controls.
We agreed on a method to implement the Unicode messages in ListView and
TreeView. But this will take a few weeks since we are both busy with other
tasks. Another problem is that someone (me!?) will have to check which
controls are up-to-date and what is missing (e.g. balloon tooltips).

At present it is a waste of time to port comctl32 or shell32 to reactos. :-(

Hi,
Who has done the comdlg port from Wine? If so, where is it?
Thanks,
James
