11 is included in MS Internet Explorer 4.01.
13 All information about common controls should be collected in this document.

18 2. General Information
19 ----------------------
20 Further information about common controls can be found in the MS Platform SDK
21 and the MS Internet Client SDK (most recent). Information from these SDK's
22 will NOT be repeated here. Only information which can NOT be found in these
23 SDK's will be collected here. Some information in the SDK's mentioned above

166 3.14 Progress Bar Control
167 -------------------------
169 Original implementation by Dimitrie O. Paun.
170 Fixes and improvements by Eric Kohl.
173 Almost finished (should behave like the original).
176 WM_GETFONT and WM_SETFONT are not implemented yet. They seem to be
177 useless because progress bars usually don't display any textual
178 information. But if M$ implemented an undocumented flag to display
179 textual information (e.g. percentage) these messages would make sense.
185 Anders Carlsson <anders.carlsson@linux.nu>
188 - Development in progress.
192 Tab control must be implemented first.

279 Original implementation by Dimitrie O. Paun.
280 Some minor changes by Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>.
286 - Have a look at controls/updown.c for a list of bugs and missing
289 - The status is unknown, because I did not have a close look at this
290 control. One test-program looked quite good, but in Win95's
291 cdplayer.exe the control does not show at all.
296 4. Additional Information
297 -------------------------
302 5. Undocumented features
303 ------------------------
305 There are quite a lot of undocumented functions like:
306 - DSA (Dynnamic Storage Array) functions.
307 - DPA (Dymnamic Pointer Array) functions.
308 - MRU ("Most Recently Used" List) functions.
309 - other unknown functions.
311 Have a look at relay32/comctl32.spec.
314 5.1 Dymnamic Storage Array (DSA)
315 ---------------------------------
316 The DSA functions are used to store and manage dynamic arrays of fixed size
317 memory blocks. They are used by TASKMAN.EXE, Explorer, IE4 and other
318 Programs and DLL's that are "parts of the Windows Operating System".
319 The implementation should be complete.
321 Have a look at the source code to get more information.
324 5.2 Dynamic Pointer Array (DPA)
325 ------------------------------------
326 Similar to the DSA functions, but they just store pointers. They are used by
327 Explorer, IE4 and other Programs and DLL's that are "parts of the Windows
328 Operating System". The implementation should be complete.
330 Have a look at the source code to get more information.
333 5.3 "Most Recently Used" - List (MRU)
334 -------------------------------------
335 The function 'COMCTL32_157()' could be called 'CreateMRUListEx32A()'.
336 Only stubs are implemented to keep Explorer from bailing out.
338 No more information available at this time!
346 5.5 GetEffectiveClientRect
347 --------------------------
353 The official documentation provided by MS is incomplete.
357 Both values of the first pair must be the handle to the applications main
362 5.7 Other undocumented functions
363 --------------------------------
364 Several other undocumented functions are used by IE4.
366 COMCTL32_11, COMCTL_385, COMCTL32_386 and COMCTL32_388.
367 Their stubs are implemented to keep IE4 from bailing out.
372 You see, much work has still to be done. If you are interested in writing
373 a control send me an e-mail. If you like to fix bugs or add some
374 functionality send an e-mail to the author of the control.
