What's in it:
some MessageBox tidbits:
- Let all MessageBoxes display an icon
- Introduced NHMessageBox to have messageboxes display a consistent title
- Change icon in mswin_display_file from MB_ICONERROR to MB_ICONEXCLAMATION
for non-fatal error
And to solve #U355: NetHackW won't run on Win2K OS:
- Avoid a crash when closing the main window while the splash screen is
displayed.
- Make sure NetHack starts normal when closed minimized
- Center the splash screen on the screen, not on the parent window
(which may be off-screen)
What's new in it:
- Show copyright banner in textbox in splash screen instead of over the picture
- Show news in splash screen only if iflags.news (solves W341-6)
- show complete version information in splash screen when it is used as about box)
[Also reverse the numkey patch in main trunk]
- My "various Windows refinements" patch from yesterday went into 3.4.x correctly
- My "NumberPad" patch went into 3.4.x, but should be backed out
- My "various Windows refinements" patch from last week was for 3.5.0, but is incomplete; you can safely ignore that.
- I'll make a new "various Windows refinements" patch for 3.5.0 tonight.
(2 troublesome bands removed
and will follow later)
Here's the new patch with the Windows improvements; this should apply to the
3.4.2 tree. Note the changed filename in the diff lines.

- Show news in splash screen only if iflags.news (solves W341-6)
- show complete version information in splash screen when it is used as about

-better handling of "more" prompt for messages that would have scrolled off the window
-support perm_invent
-menu option to add/remove windows captions
This patch is an improvement for menu/text dialogs.
This is a code carried over from Windows CE port. It changes
text and menu windows from "system popup" to plain "child"
windows of the main nethack window. Nethack main window can
now be resized/moved/minimized when menu/text window is up.
Menu/text windows will always stay inside the main window and
move along with it.
<Someone>
- mostly from Yitzhak, with a modification based on subsequent discussion.
After installing everything (mail, cvs, etc) I found the compile was
broken.
Yitzhak: This fixes the compile. I used LONG for the types because using DWORD
conflicted in Borland with signed/unsigned compare mismatches.
[Also works around some perm_invent code destined for a later patch that got
rolled in prematurely]
part 2 touches only port files
Makes Borland happy with current sources.
Fixes bug in WM_PAINT handling in rip/splash code.
Fixes getline() bug (H0009)
Tidies up source.
Fixes up copyright notices.
Adds TODO docs for Borland. (Removes "TODO" note)
Small changes to defaults formatting.
Fixes ALT key on Graphical Port non NetHack mode.
Hilites pet in Graphical Port text mode.
Also Implements windowcolors for status and message window in graphical port.
On graphical port,
tested to see it actually works.
Tested on platforms Makefile MSC/BCC Graphical/Console, MSC IDE for
compile and run and performing hilite pet in graphical text, not
displaying rawio, alt key.
This patch implements Michael's idea to have a "NetHack mode" for
keypresses. It only does the Alt-keys now, but it should be easy
to extend to pressing space in dialogs; I left that out as we still
have to agree on a new dialog look.
The setting that you choose from the menu is stored in the registry.
Reading and writing the registry is done on init_nhwindows and
exit_nhwindows; there also is a menu item to delete the registry
settings (which makes sure they are not stored again this session.)
This provides a framework for future registry settings.
Also,
Alt-tab should show the app title when a menu or text window is up.
I left the app title as it was, although I still favour "Graphical
Version" or "With Graphics"; Anyway, that's only one resource string.
win32gui: more splash screen integration
The Makefile have rip.uu/splash.uu added to them. However, this won't
work if you don't have splash.uu. Instead, just copy rip.uu or another
.uu and name it splash.uu. Make expects to have splash.uu present (at
least Borland's make). It doesn't add splash.uu decoding to the IDE
framework. It does a bit in winhack.rc and Makefile.bcc to bring
winhack.rc up to sync with Borland's compiler. If you don't like the
splash screen, then I'll have to redo that part of the patch apart from
the others.
also corrects a cut-and-paste error that I made in options.c
The following options can be set in the game now:
WC_HILITE_PET
WC_ALIGN_MESSAGE
WC_ALIGN_STATUS
WC_SCROLL_MARGIN
WC_MAP_MODE
WC_FONT_MESSAGE
WC_FONT_STATUS
WC_FONT_MENU
WC_FONT_TEXT
WC_FONTSIZ_MESSAGE
WC_FONTSIZ_STATUS
WC_FONTSIZ_MENU
WC_FONTSIZ_TEXT
- added support for new options
- fixed couple of typos in options.c
- added sunken edge around message window
- added capability to replace font in the font table (if we will want to
change font sizes dynamically later)
Add absent prototypes to some core routines.
Also add some port function() to function(void) in some win32 routines.
Also updates the Borland C Makefile for win32.
The following fixes several bugs:
1) Mismatch between docs and game in definition of what '+' resolved in
favor of docs...
2) When game needs to be recovered a message box is shown. This is a very
deprecated fix. It pretty much answers just the conditions that require
this (a yn question to an erroneous winid), and is not useful for other
purposes.
3) The score file is written.
- added counting to the menu window. I changed the way it works in the TTY
port though ("you hear the rumble of distant thunder..." :) The count
applies to the currently selected item instead of being aplied to the item
to be selected (in other words a12 instead of 12a). It works better this
way in the graphical port since there is a notion of current menu item.
I also notes that the count is ignored for PICK_ONE menu - is this by
design?
- somebode mention that text is not scrollable by default - this is fixed.
- fixed player selection dialog to use initXXXX options
-----------------------
B1028 [reported] win32: popup window is too short
The text in the popup window's top line "What do you want to
call the ..." is cut off. Could the window be bigger, so you
can read the entire line?
Fixed.
---------------------
B1027 [reported] win32: select via traditional class char
In a shop (and perhaps elsewhere), I can autoselect a class of
items to drop: a for all types, b for coins, c for weapons, ...,
A for every item, B for blessed items, ... I like the new
possibilities, but I would like to be able to use the old way of
using ! for potions, ) for weapons, etc., as well.
Fixed.
---------------------
B1026 [reported] win32: setting multiple options
I want to set packorder and pickup_types. The first comes up
first, and I type in the order. Then comes the second, without
any hint what is asked of me. A little explanation here would
be appropriate, like "pick up what things automatically?" or
somesuch. When more than one option is set where extra input
is required, some explanation is useful.
Looking into. Apparently something end_menu() call is ignored by nethackw.
---------------------
B1025 [reported] win32: menu navigation
I press O. Now, when I press "a" to turn on "autodig", not only
is the mark set at "a", but there also appears a dotted
rectangle around option "A" (capitalized). Shouldn't this
rectangle also appear at "a"? Pressing "a" repeatedly toggles
the checkmark, but the rectangle switches between "A" and "a".
My CAPS LOCK is not set. The same goes for B, C, D, ... N,
by the way. Pressing "A" works the other way around: the first
press checks "A" and "rectangles" "a", the next unchecks "A"
and rectangles "A" as well.
Fixed.
---------------------
B1024 [reported] win32: no text in final window
After I clicked away the last screen with information
(challenges, I believe it was), I got an empty text screen, as
big as my screen, without any content. It looked like the text
screens that appear on the right, only it was larger and had
only a large OK button over the full width of the window, and
no cancel button. Why this window?
Fixed. The program did not set window text for RIP window.
---------------------
B1010 [known issue] win32: cosmetic
When I get my list of spells, the columns aren't properly
aligned: if the spell name is longer, the rest of the line
shifts right.
Fixed. Fixed-pitch font is used for menu window.
---------------------
B1004 [reported] win32: numeric keyboard Del/.-key
The Del/.-key on my numeric keyboard doesn't make me rest a turn
Fixed. Added rest on Del.
---------------------
B1003 [reported] win32: focus
When the window has the focus, the window bar isn't highlighted.
This is by design. Menu and text widnows are popup and the main
window is disabled when they are up.
Fixes:
- menu shortcuts implemented
- most windows close on space (except for menus with
PICK_ANY style)
- "hilite_pet" option is implemented
- map scrolling is improved somewhat (it now scrolls if
the char is within 5 spaces from the edge of the map -
configurable by #define CLIPAROUND_MARGIN)
- added 3 winhack-specific options:
win32_map_mode:[tiles|ascii4x6|ascii6x8|ascii8x8
|ascii16x8|ascii7x12|ascii8x12|ascii15x12
|ascii12x16|ascii10x18|fit_to_screen]=20
win32_align_status:[left|top|right|bottom]
win32_align_message:[left|top|right|bottom]
Note: aligning status window to left or right edge of the screen does
not look good.
