182 3.14 Progress Bar Control
183 -------------------------
185 Original implementation by Dimitrie O. Paun.
186 Fixes and improvements by Eric Kohl.
189 Almost finished (should behave like the original).
192 WM_GETFONT and WM_SETFONT are not implemented yet. They seem to be
193 useless because progress bars usually don't display any textual
194 information. But if M$ implemented an undocumented flag to display
195 textual information (e.g. percentage) these messages would make sense.
201 Anders Carlsson <anders.carlsson@linux.nu>
204 - Development in progress.
208 Tab control must be implemented first.

294 Original implementation by Dimitrie O. Paun.
295 Some minor changes by Eric Kohl <ekohl@abo.rhein-zeitung.de>.
301 - Have a look at controls/updown.c for a list of bugs and missing
304 - The status is unknown, because I did not have a close look at this
305 control. One test-program looked quite good, but in Win95's
306 cdplayer.exe the control does not show at all.
311 4. Additional Information
312 -------------------------
317 5. Undocumented features
318 ------------------------
320 There are quite a lot of undocumented functions like:
321 - DSA (Dynnamic Storage Array) functions.
322 - DPA (Dymnamic Pointer Array) functions.
323 - MRU ("Most Recently Used" List) functions.
324 - other unknown functions.
326 Have a look at relay32/comctl32.spec.
329 5.1 Dymnamic Storage Array (DSA)
330 ---------------------------------
331 The DSA functions are used to store and manage dynamic arrays of fixed size
332 memory blocks. They are used by TASKMAN.EXE, Explorer, IE4 and other
333 Programs and DLL's that are "parts of the Windows Operating System".
334 The implementation should be complete.
336 Have a look at the source code to get more information.
339 5.2 Dynamic Pointer Array (DPA)
340 ------------------------------------
341 Similar to the DSA functions, but they just store pointers. They are used by
342 Explorer, IE4 and other Programs and DLL's that are "parts of the Windows
343 Operating System". The implementation should be complete.
345 Have a look at the source code to get more information.
348 5.3 "Most Recently Used" - List (MRU)
349 -------------------------------------
350 The function 'COMCTL32_157()' could be called 'CreateMRUListEx32A()'.
351 Only stubs are implemented to keep Explorer from bailing out.
353 No more information available at this time!
361 5.5 GetEffectiveClientRect
362 --------------------------
368 The official documentation provided by MS is incomplete.
372 Both values of the first pair must be the handle to the applications main
377 5.7 Other undocumented functions
378 --------------------------------
379 Several other undocumented functions are used by IE4.
381 COMCTL32_11, COMCTL_385, COMCTL32_386 and COMCTL32_388.
382 Their stubs are implemented to keep IE4 from bailing out.
387 You see, much work has still to be done. If you are interested in writing
388 a control send me an e-mail. If you like to fix bugs or add some
389 functionality send an e-mail to the author of the control.
