I was just trying to figure out if the problem was due to an unimplemented part of ReactOS or a regression of ReactOS.

Even if another version works it'd be nice to work with it unmodified and as compiled by the author.
- My thoughts are twofold; putty works on wine and windows,
and so a compatible system such as reactos ought to be able to the same. I think having CreateDialog work right is not so much to ask.
- We get no credibility having to port apps to run on
reactos. Sometimes I do patch an app so i can get past a known problem by my goal is always ultimately to run the app unpatched. My guess is that an eventual end user will expect the author's version to work.
Honestly I don't know if putty's author Simon Tatham has done something wrong with the win32 api or we have, and I'm not interested in hunting for a specific version that works. What I am interested in is fixing bugs in reactos that may affect some other application. I have a feeling that other apps may appear to fail silently but actually just be waiting for some invisible hand to show their dialogs. Putty should now be a reasonable target as we theoretically implement everything it needs.
Sorry if this doesn't fit with our current development arc. I'm getting more resistance than I anticipated. -- Here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions. You will exhibit no net motion. None the less, you may soon begin to notice that something important is happening. -- Robert Stirniman _______________________________________________ Ros-dev mailing list Ros-dev@reactos.com http://reactos.com:8080/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev
