in other words: is there an environment variable that can tell a self-written program, whether it runs on top of wine or under real windows os?
like this:
If environment_is_wine()
{
funcA()
}
else
{
funcB()
}
Other way:
The existence of a certain wine-exclusive file in wine's windows tree would help, too. I could put one there myself, but it might be forgotten to do in future every day struggling. Maybe one already exists ?
Yes, I agree. In my case: I have some self-written every-day-use programs (tools), where EM_FINDWORDBREAK is used, but yet not implemented by wine. This window message is part of Richtext functionality. If it is wished I could give it to the developers. I suppose with Bugzilla !? Until that it is no big deal to make small differences in source code, which I can remove in a moment. Don't you think so?
Well, from a software developer's perspective, too many temporary hacks end up becoming permanent. If I had to face this issue, I'd test if EM_FINDWORDBREAK works - if yes use it, if no don't. This way you don't have to change anything in your code when wine implements it - you program can just use the new functionality when wine adds it!
Alternative would be using native riched20. AFAIK the issue is known, but nobody fixed it yet. If I hadn't so much else to do, I'd look into it. Maybe sometime in the future.
