Fantastic. This is good work. I haven't reviewed the code in depth,
but I think the way forward is to submit an implementation of
dlls/riched20 then make that work, and after it's debugged and worked
out, rip out the old dlls/riched32 code and forward it to the new
completed riched20 code.
Code review notes:
You've writen the code to deal with unicode as default, which is good,
but you need to deal with both ASCII and unicode messages in the window
procedure.
It might be better to use libwineunicode and kernel32 unicode string
manipulation functions rather than msvcrt ones. eg lstrlenW, lstrcpyW,
etc. instead of wcslen, wcscpy, etc. Avoid the TCHAR type in Wine code.
Similarly, you'll need to use "winbase.h" and friends instead of
"windows.h".
From what I can see in the old riched32 code, the rtf parser looks
quite good, so don't try rewrite that (which from my quick check you
haven't). We can merge the parser into the riched20 code quite
easily... it's just enters the text into the existing control using
EM_SETSEL and some formatting messages.
I have a test I can send to you if you wish. Again, my preference is to
get this into the Wine CVS sooner rather than later, so others can start
helping improve it.
