4 and their UNDOCUMENTED features and functions
5 -----------------------------------------------------
10 The information provided herein is based on the dll version 4.72 which
11 is included in MS Internet Explorer 4.01.
13 All information about common controls should be collected in this document.
15 All Wine programmers are encouraged to add their knowledge to this document.
18 2. General Information
19 ----------------------
20 Further information about common controls can be found in the MS Platform SDK
21 and the MS Internet Client SDK (most recent). Information from these SDK's
22 will NOT be repeated here. Only information which can NOT be found in these
23 SDK's will be collected here. Some information in the SDK's mentioned above
24 is (intentionally???) WRONG. Corrections to wrong information will be
30 This paragraph describes the development status of the common controls.
37 - Nothing done at all.
40 3.2 Combo Box Ex Control
41 ------------------------
43 - Nothing done at all.
46 3.3 Date and Time Picker Control
47 --------------------------------
49 - Nothing done at all.
52 3.4 Drag List Box Control
53 -------------------------
55 - Nothing done at all.
58 3.5 Flat Scroll Bar Control
59 ---------------------------
61 - Nothing done at all.

76 - Nothing done at all.
79 3.8 Image List (no control)
80 ---------------------------
82 Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>
88 Most of my test programs work as expected. But when image lists are used
89 in other controls (e.g. Toolbar) they don't seem to be error-free.
90 It looks like I have to do a major re-write (use DIB's instead of DDB's).
93 3.9 IP Address Control
94 ----------------------
96 - Nothing done at all.
99 3.10 List View Control
100 ----------------------
102 - Nothing done at all.
105 This control id NEEDED in many places. Any volunteers??
108 3.11 Month Calendar Control
109 ---------------------------
111 - Nothing done at all.
117 - Dummy control. No functionality.
121 The dummy source code is available from the author.
124 3.13 Progress Bar Control
125 -------------------------
127 Original implementation by Dimitrie O. Paun.
128 Fixes and improvements by Eric Kohl.
131 - Almost finished (should behave like the original).
134 WM_GETFONT and WM_SETFONT are not implemented yet. They seem to be
135 useless because progress bars usually don't display any textual
136 information. But if M$ implemented an undocumented flag to display
137 textual information (e.g. percentage) these messages would make sense.
143 - Nothing done at all.
146 - This control id NEEDED in many places.
147 - Tab control has to be implemented first.
151 3.15 Rebar Control (Cool Bar)
152 -----------------------------
154 - Dummy control. No functionality.
158 The dummy source code is available from the author.
161 3.16 Status Bar Control
162 -----------------------
164 Original implementation by Bruce Milner.
165 Fixes and improvements by Eric Kohl.
171 - Tool tips need to be added, but since they are not done yet...
174 Have a look at controls/status.c for a list of bugs and missing features.
180 - Nothing done at all.
187 Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>
190 - Development in progress.
191 - Basic functionality is almost done. (dll version 4.0)
197 Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>
200 - Development in progress.
201 - Not yet published, but will be published soon.
204 3.20 Trackbar Control
205 ---------------------
207 Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>
210 - Development in progress.
211 - Not yet published, but will be published soon.
214 3.21 Tree View Control
215 ----------------------
217 - Nothing done at all.
224 Original implementation by Dimitrie O. Paun.
225 Some minor changes by Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>.
231 - Have a look at controls/updown.c for a list of bugs and missing
234 - The status is unknown, because I did not have a close look at this
235 control. One test-program looked quite good, but in Win95's
236 cdplayer.exe the control does not show at all.
241 4. Additional Information
242 -------------------------
247 5. Undocumented features
248 ------------------------
250 There are quite a lot of undocumented functions like:
251 - DSA (Dynnamic String Array?) functions.
252 - DPA (Dymnamic Pointer Array?) functions.
253 - MRU ("Most Recently Used" List) functions.
254 - other unknown functions.
256 Have a look at relay32/comctl32.spec.
259 5.1 Dymnamic String Arrays ??? (DSA)
260 ------------------------------------
261 Most of the DSA functions are implemented. I used TASKMAN.EXE to write them.
262 Since TASKMAN.EXE doesn't bail out or crash I think I've done it right.
264 Have a look at the source code to get more information.
265 Further documentation will be written...
268 5.2 Dynamic Pointer Arrays ??? (DPA)
269 ------------------------------------
270 Similar to the DSA functions, but they just store pointers. I have written
271 some stubs and semi-stubs. They are used by Explorer and IE4 but the
272 implementation is still incomplete since both programs seem to crash because
273 of other incomplete functions.
275 Have a look at the source code to get more information.
276 Further documentation will be written...
284 5.4 GetEffectiveClientRect
285 --------------------------
291 You see, much work has still to be done. If you are interested in writing
292 a control send me an e-mail. If you like to fix bugs or add some
293 functionality send an e-mail to the author of the control.
