Tab Controls without name

Hi
I found something that would be easy to fix in case it really should be
fixed. Working with tab controls I have the case where I set the tab name
to empty because it's too big to be shown. In the TCITEM structure I set
the text pointer to NULL instead of a "". Thus Wine stopped at some point
doing a strlen on a NULL pointer. Obvious. Then I checked MSDN if this is
allowed or not. It always says string pointer, never is a NULL pointer a
possible value. Ok, so my code is wrong, easy to change.
But still (the often cited sentence): It used to work in Windows. So now I
don't know if Wine should be clean (and NULL pointer in tab name is not
allowed) or if it should behave as Windows (no matter what docs say) and a
NULL pointer is just an empty name...
bye Fabi
