<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would have asked this question on the wine-devel
list but winehq made it quite clear that list was not for user
questions but for developer use only so I ask it here.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am attempting to run a native windows VB6 app
(United Devices) in wine, fake windows,</FONT> <FONT face=Arial size=2>and
continue to encounter an unimplemented API "CreateRemoteThread" call to
kernel32 error using any and all RH distro kernels using any wine
version. I was simply wondering as to when that API call might be
implemented. I am in the process of filing a bug report to winehq in the
hopes an engineer will be motivated to take it on so here is what my
investigation has shown to date.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The function appears to be properly declared in
winbase.h (wine of course) as is the already implemented function
'CreateThread' along with the structure type
SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES common to both calls. The kernel32.spec file
shows CreateRemoteThread apparently stubbed "@ stub CreateRemoteThread" but
the implemented CreateThread shows "@ stdcall CreateThread (ptr long ptr
long long ptr)". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I wish I knew C and patch submission procedure as I
would gladly volunteer to work on this one but I only know some VB and am
attempting to code this call in a simple VB6 procedure to replicate the error
and, if sucessful, will provide the exe and source to winehq.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any advice where I go from here as I want to dump
win, get more hd space but I need this app?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks, Roger</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
