A more detailed look at Wine's builtin DLLs...
Written by Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>
(Extracted from wine/documentation/common_controls)
The information provided herein is based on the dll version 4.72 which is included in MS Internet Explorer 4.01.
All information about common controls should be collected in this document.
All Wine programmers are encouraged to add their knowledge to this document.
Further information about common controls can be found in the MS Platform SDK and the MS Internet Client SDK (most recent). Information from these SDK's will NOT be repeated here. Only information which can NOT be found in these SDK's will be collected here. Some information in the SDK's mentioned above is (intentionally???) WRONG. Corrections to wrong information will be collected here too.
The common controls have been continously improved in the past. Some of the orignal structures had to be extended and their size changed. Most of the common control structures include their size as the first parameter. If a control gets the wrong size in a message or function a failure is very likely to occur. To avoid this, MS defined new constants that reflect the structure size of older COMCTL32.DLL versions. The following list shows the structure size constants that are currently defined in the original COMCTL32.DLL.
Note: Some stuctures are NOT defined in wine's COMCTL32 yet.
The size of the HDITEM structure in version 4.00.
The size of the LVCOLUMN structure in version 4.00.
The size of the LVHITTESTINFO structure in version 4.00.
The size of the LVITEM structure in version 4.00.
The size of the NMLVCUSTOMDRAW structure in version 4.70.
The size of the NMTTDISPINFO structure in version 4.00.
The size of the NMTVCUSTOMDRAW structure in version 4.70.
The size of the PROPSHEETHEADER structure in version 4.00.
The size of the PROPSHEETPAGE structure in version 4.00.
The size of the REBARBANDINFO structure in version 4.70.
The size of the TOOLINFO structure in version 4.00.
The size of the TVINSERTSTRUCT structure in version 4.00.
This section describes the development status of the common controls.

Quite usable already.

Unknown.
Notes: Have a look at controls/updown.c for a list of bugs and missing features.
The status is unknown, because I did not have a close look at this control. One test-program looked quite good, but in Win95's cdplayer.exe the control does not show at all.
Any volunteers??
There are quite a lot of undocumented functions like:
DSA (Dynamic Storage Array) functions.
DPA (Dynamic Pointer Array) functions.
MRU ("Most Recently Used" List) functions.
other unknown functions.
Have a look at relay32/comctl32.spec.
The DSA functions are used to store and manage dynamic arrays of fixed size memory blocks. They are used by TASKMAN.EXE, Explorer, IE4 and other Programs and DLL's that are "parts of the Windows Operating System". The implementation should be complete.
Have a look at the source code to get more information.
Similar to the DSA functions, but they just store pointers. They are used by Explorer, IE4 and other Programs and DLL's that are "parts of the Windows Operating System". The implementation should be complete.
Have a look at the source code to get more information.
Only stubs are implemented to keep Explorer from bailing out.
No more information available at this time!
