4 and their UNDOCUMENTED features and functions

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.

77 - Nothing done at all.
80 3.8 Image List (no control)
81 ---------------------------
83 Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>
89 Most of my test programs work as expected. But when image lists are used
90 in other controls (e.g. Toolbar) they don't seem to be error-free.
91 It looks like I have to do a major re-write (use DIB's instead of DDB's).
94 3.9 IP Address Control
95 ----------------------
97 - Nothing done at all.
100 3.10 List View Control
101 ----------------------
103 James Michael Mastros <root@jennifer-unix.dyn.ml.org>
106 - Development in progress.
109 3.11 Month Calendar Control
110 ---------------------------
112 - Nothing done at all.
118 Dummy written by Eric Kohl.
121 Dummy control. No functionality.
124 Author needed!! Any volunteers??
127 3.13 Progress Bar Control
128 -------------------------
130 Original implementation by Dimitrie O. Paun.
131 Fixes and improvements by Eric Kohl.
134 - Almost finished (should behave like the original).
137 WM_GETFONT and WM_SETFONT are not implemented yet. They seem to be
138 useless because progress bars usually don't display any textual
139 information. But if M$ implemented an undocumented flag to display
140 textual information (e.g. percentage) these messages would make sense.
146 Anders Carlsson <anders.carlsson@linux.nu>
149 - Development in progress.
153 Tab control must be implemented first.
156 3.15 Rebar Control (Cool Bar)
157 -----------------------------
159 Dummy written by Eric Kohl.
162 - Dummy control. No functionality.
165 Author needed!! Any volunteers??

171 Original implementation by Bruce Milner.
172 Fixes and improvements by Eric Kohl.
178 - Unicode support is still missing.
179 - Tooltip integration is almost complete.
185 Anders Carlsson <anders.carlsson@linux.nu>
188 - Development in progress.
195 Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>
198 - Development in progress.
199 - Basic functionality is almost done. (dll version 4.0)
202 Bitmaps are not correctly displayed.

233 Dummy written by Eric Kohl.
234 Alex Priem (alexp@sci.kun.nl)
237 - Dummy control. No functionality.
240 Author needed!! Any volunteers??
246 Original implementation by Dimitrie O. Paun.
247 Some minor changes by Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>.
253 - Have a look at controls/updown.c for a list of bugs and missing
256 - The status is unknown, because I did not have a close look at this
257 control. One test-program looked quite good, but in Win95's
258 cdplayer.exe the control does not show at all.
263 4. Additional Information
264 -------------------------
269 5. Undocumented features
270 ------------------------
272 There are quite a lot of undocumented functions like:
273 - DSA (Dynnamic String Array?) functions.
274 - DPA (Dymnamic Pointer Array?) functions.
275 - MRU ("Most Recently Used" List) functions.
276 - other unknown functions.
278 Have a look at relay32/comctl32.spec.
281 5.1 Dymnamic String Arrays ??? (DSA)
282 ------------------------------------
283 Most of the DSA functions are implemented. I used TASKMAN.EXE to write them.
284 Since TASKMAN.EXE doesn't bail out or crash I think I've done it right.
286 Have a look at the source code to get more information.
287 Further documentation will be written...
290 5.2 Dynamic Pointer Arrays ??? (DPA)
291 ------------------------------------
292 Similar to the DSA functions, but they just store pointers. I have written
293 some stubs and semi-stubs. They are used by Explorer and IE4 but the
294 implementation is still incomplete since both programs seem to crash because
295 of other incomplete functions.
297 Have a look at the source code to get more information.
298 Further documentation will be written...
306 5.4 GetEffectiveClientRect
307 --------------------------
313 You see, much work has still to be done. If you are interested in writing
314 a control send me an e-mail. If you like to fix bugs or add some
315 functionality send an e-mail to the author of the control.
