Office (Excel, Word...) 2010 on ReactOS

[Hermès BÉLUSCA-MAÏTO]

Hello everyone,

Today I was finally able to finish the installation of Office 2010 in
ReactOS, using as a temporary measure the Wine’s NTLM layer that calls into
the ntlm_auth utility of Samba. This was done while Samuel is completing his
NTLM implementation.
As this wine layer is here running on ReactOS, few modifications were
needed, and I also needed to find a Windows build of Samba. I’ve found one,
by chance, at http://smithii.com/samba . Then, using ReactOS revision 73868
(or later), and using this version of Samba, the Office installation
finishes (reminder: the problem was due to the fact the installer needed
NTLM to communicate with the “Office Software Platform Service”,
OSPPSVC.EXE). We are now able to use Excel, Word, … on ReactOS, as shown in
this picture:
http://i.imgur.com/fLEwoVI.png

There are now 2 main problems:
- NTLM should be correctly implemented;
- There are an awful lot of drawing problems with Office 2010 applications
(similar to those of Office 2007 apps): for example, dragging the graph
downwards shows his frame going upwards; there are many black regions that
show up, etc...: It seems we have problems in coordinate frames. And other
problems too. Also, we have some mouse capture problems: if you try to
redimension the windows the normal way (bring mouse cursor on top of the
border, left-click-maintained, move mouse, release left button), and then
move the mouse inside the window, it continues to be redimensioned...
As a result, I took ~=15 minutes to make this simple trivial picture above,
almost all the time taken to fight against window dimensioning & the drawing
problems.

But anyways, enjoy !

This will be part of my next blog report.

Cheers,
Hermès

Is Samuel actually still actively working on NTLM? I thought that branch of
his was pretty old. Might be something to consider a dev contract for.

As a temporary solution we could try creating a usable installer for this build of samba
and offer to download it with rapps.

Yes I was thinking about that… Let’s know what other people think before doing this
however.

May be it is better to temporarily add Samba itself to ReactOS? It is not that simple to
install it for average user.

 

I suggest add it at least as downloadable module, the same way we do with gecko

Hi! This is excellent news! It's good to know that Samuel started working again on
ntlm. I guess the most productive way to help him complete it would be to write several
tests for it (and also convert Samuel's test to formal tests). Not only will it help
Samuel but will help you understand ntlm yourself and then help Samuel. (It is not like I
knew anything about activation contexts before. It was the tests I wrote that helped me
come up with clever way to let our comctl32 really do what both versions of comctl32).

Keep up the good work!

PS: regarding the capture problems I would suggest writing more tests! (Win32k is so hard
to come right that you are searching in the dark unless you test it thoroughly). My
instinct says that this is the same bug with the spider solitaire where the last card
isn't released when you win a game. There is a bug report for that but I don't
remember the number. I think that if the mouse button is released we should also release
capture (and this needs testing, perhaps even interactive testing).

Hi all,

 

Before touching parts of win32ss (user32/gdi32/win32k) I would like to know
what the status of different components are:

-          James, have you finished with your win32 class rewrite? What’s
the status of it? Is there a bug report concerning this rewrite?

-          Does anybody else currently work on cursors / GDI bitmap matters?

 

Best,

Hermès

Jim completed the class rewrite years ago (with a great success) and afaik there is no
other major rewrite/undertaking right now in win32k. Why do I have a feeling you plan some
major undertaking?

Class rewrite is now done!  Giannis plugged in the remainder with
Versioning so it's done.

[Hermès BÉLUSCA-MAÏTO]

Hi !

Thanks for the notification James.

To answer Giannis’ question, I was asking the status because I did a ~= 2 hour long
testing in “real-life” conditions of Word yesterday to see how many bugs (visual or not)
were existing. I’ve mainly played with different tools in the ribbon bar, modified display
of the document, inserted a screenshot taken with the word’s tool (which I was surprised
to see that it did work great) etc etc… ,  and *many* spammy win32k fixme / err / etc…
appeared, most of them that already appear with other software as well. I give here few
examples:

 

-         
(C:\Buildslave\Build_MSVC_x86\build\reactos\win32ss\user\ntuser\scrollbar.c:1216) err:
FIXME: EnableScrollBar wSBflags 1 wArrows 0 Chg 0

This fixme spams a lot when word starts. I’ve checked the corresponding ntuser code, and
the fixme seems to be there because the drawing code of the scrollbars (in user32/win32k)
was not completely moved into win32k during the class rewrite. I’ve also noted code
redundancies between the scroll.c file in user32 and the file of same name in ntuser. So
this is one place where I can touch the code.

 

-          We also have many of these errors:

(C:\Buildslave\Build_MSVC_x86\build\reactos\win32ss\user\ntuser\message.c:1258) err:
UserPostMessage: Invalid handle 0xBC65036C Msg 0x2a3!

(C:\Buildslave\Build_MSVC_x86\build\reactos\win32ss\user\ntuser\winpos.c:3309) err:
NtUserSetWindowPos bad window handle!

(C:\Buildslave\Build_MSVC_x86\build\reactos\win32ss\user\ntuser\cursoricon.c:815) err:
Trying to delete global cursor!

That may indicate someone (word, or us, within win32k calls) giving incorrect parameters
to the functions (because e.g. some win32k object died in the meantime, or I don’t know).
With Word, the appearance of these messages is accompanied by either slowdowns or the
cursor that remain of the same shape when hovering on regions of word app window where it
should change its shape, etc..

 

-          And other errors that we are used to see in our debug logs…

 

Plus there is the problem of mouse capture that appear when you try to resize word (or any
other office app) window.

 

Therefore that’s why I was wondering in advance whether there were other people touching
these similar win32k areas, before I’m potentially doing anything there.

 

Best,

Hermès
