Three is the number, now I finally come to the reason of my questions :)
In our application we have a streaming mechanism where we save all info
about a window (title, size, position, styles...) so upon loading we can
recreate it exactly as it was before. On Windows I get some styles
back, save them and can use them to create the window with
CreateWnd(Text, ExtStyle, Style, WndRect, MinPos, Parent);
On wine the extended styles are different as described above. If I now
try to create a window with these different flags it fails for both Windows
and wine. But it works if I mask them out.
As these flags are only wine internal I don't know if it's right to give
them to the user. On the other hand (if this is needed/usefull) wine should
be capable of disregarding them if they are given to the CreateWnd
function. As it is now I need to change my application for wine (which
I did to continue work) but that shouldn't be desirable.
Thanks
