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

289 Original implementation by Dimitrie O. Paun.
290 Some minor changes by Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>.
296 - Have a look at controls/updown.c for a list of bugs and missing
299 - The status is unknown, because I did not have a close look at this
300 control. One test-program looked quite good, but in Win95's
301 cdplayer.exe the control does not show at all.
306 4. Additional Information
307 -------------------------
312 5. Undocumented features
313 ------------------------
315 There are quite a lot of undocumented functions like:
316 - DSA (Dynnamic Storage Array) functions.
317 - DPA (Dymnamic Pointer Array) functions.
318 - MRU ("Most Recently Used" List) functions.
319 - other unknown functions.
321 Have a look at relay32/comctl32.spec.
324 5.1 Dymnamic Storage Array (DSA)
325 ---------------------------------
326 The DSA functions are used to store and manage dynamic arrays of fixed size
327 memory blocks. They are used by TASKMAN.EXE, Explorer, IE4 and other
328 Programs and DLL's that are "parts of the Windows Operating System".
329 The implementation should be complete.
331 Have a look at the source code to get more information.
334 5.2 Dynamic Pointer Array (DPA)
335 ------------------------------------
336 Similar to the DSA functions, but they just store pointers. They are used by
337 Explorer, IE4 and other Programs and DLL's that are "parts of the Windows
338 Operating System". The implementation should be complete.
340 Have a look at the source code to get more information.
343 5.3 "Most Recently Used" - List (MRU)
344 -------------------------------------
345 The function 'COMCTL32_157()' could be called 'CreateMRUListEx32A()'.
346 Only stubs are implemented to keep Explorer from bailing out.
348 No more information available at this time!
356 5.5 GetEffectiveClientRect
357 --------------------------
363 The official documentation provided by MS is incomplete.
367 Both values of the first pair must be the handle to the applications main
372 5.7 Other undocumented functions
373 --------------------------------
374 Several other undocumented functions are used by IE4.
376 COMCTL32_11, COMCTL_385, COMCTL32_386 and COMCTL32_388.
377 Their stubs are implemented to keep IE4 from bailing out.
382 You see, much work has still to be done. If you are interested in writing
383 a control send me an e-mail. If you like to fix bugs or add some
384 functionality send an e-mail to the author of the control.
