Problems translation of Iczelion tutorial from x86 to 64

[Mikl__]

Alone transfer the lessons of Iczelion I can't cope. Please help me!
Tutorial #27: Tooltip Control
a program is written exactly as a program for x86, except for passing parameters to procedures, but do not show tooltips. Why?

Check the value of rbx after wmINITDIALOG:

[rrr314159]

Couldn't find

comctl32.inc
comclt32.lib

looked thru all your previous postings

Went to this site:

On the site http://dsmhelp.narod.ru/environment.htm you can find a set of lib- and inc-files

Couldn't find it, maybe since it's not in English

Tried Japheth's COMMCTRL.INC and ComCtl32.lib but not compatible

Tried using only Japheth's incs and libs (starting with kernel32 etc), but too many incompatibilities. They do work with JWasm. Considered using that instead of ml64 but instead, assumed something would go wrong, and

gave up

So please post those two files or tell where to get them

[Mikl__]

Check the value of rbx after wmINITDIALOG:

Hi, jj2007!
rbx=0
Hi, rrr314159!
zip-file for you...

[rrr314159]

thanks miki! I don't care what they say, you're alright

[jj2007]

Check the value of rbx after wmINITDIALOG:

Hi, jj2007!
rbx=0

I'm not an expert for x64, and I can't even build your code, but in x86 ebx=1 at that point - independently of what you put into it in WinMain. DlgProc is a callback, the protected registers can have any value... so that was my best guess. What does GetLastError return?

[rrr314159]

To get the code to run, I needed to do 2 things,

just after

wmINITDIALOG:call InitCommonControls

put

xor rbx, rbx

and, just in front of

hwndTool dq ?

put

align 8

I also removed the "IMAGE_BASE equ 400000h" together with the associated link options, because I couldn't get it to run that way. The linker complained there was something wrong with stubby.exe header, "build with /KNOWEAS 16-bit"; and, "/ALIGN specified without /DRIVER". No doubt it would work if I was familiar with that technique, but ...

So I just used GetModuleHandle to find hInstance, and made appropriate mods.

Now it works, brings up window with the 2 buttons, but no #$%^&*( tooltips!

Time to take a break ...

If jj or anyone else wants my modified code, which is probably more familiar to most people, let me know.

[rrr314159]

Well I got the tool tips working, but only by using JWasm and Japheth's includes and libs, and my own invoke macro. The includes are very different from yours, Miki, but I suppose the libs are the same? Anyway if anyone wants to see it let me know. I wasn't able to get it working with those include files, or ML64, or the invoke macro included in temphls.inc, although no doubt it can be done.

rrr314159, may you attach working exe and asm/rc-files with tooltips for x64?

[rrr314159]

Hi Miki,

The 4 tooltips for the window areas work (e.g., "This is the upper left area of the dialog"). But I checked the 32-bit example and found there are tooltips for the buttons also - they don't work. Another peculiarity, you have to move the window before the close button (upper left corner) works. Of course these can both be fixed by intercepting messages in DlgProc but that's not the point of the example. BTW I tried it with JWasm invoke; it's a lot more trouble and doesn't fix the button tooltips.

Anyway as I said the main tooltips work. I changed iczelion's 32-bit example as follows:

change ti.hWnd to ti.hwnd - for some reason Japheth spells it that way

use edx instead of uMsg in comparisons (e.g. edx==WM_CLOSE)

In all "assume" statements change esi and edi to rsi and rdi

Change the 3 proc defn's as follows (4 DWORD's => QWORD's, and uses rdi rsi):

DlgProc proc hDlg:QWORD,uMsg:DWORD,wParam:DWORD,lParam:DWORD
EnumChild proc uses rdi hwndChild:QWORD,lParam:DWORD
SetDlgToolArea proc uses rdi rsi hDlg:QWORD, lpti:DWORD, lpText:QWORD, id:DWORD, lprect:DWORD

... and either change the 3 proto's to match, or else simply remove them

make this dq instead of dd:

hwndTool dd ?

and make this rax instead of eax:

mov [edi].lpszText,eax

You need 3 new includes from Japheth, (change path as appropriate), but can use your existing lib's:

include  \inc\windows.inc
include  \inc\winuser.inc
include \inc\CommCtrl.inc

Finally add this include:

include invoke_macros.asm

The first zip contains:

tut_27_64.asm: iczelion's example modified as above
tut_27_64.exe
invoke_macros.asm: invoke replacement (works with ML64 also)
tut_27.rc: no changes needed
Resource.h: no changes
dotut_27_64.bat: make file

and the second zip has the 3 include files

[six_L]

hi,rrr314159
the tut_27_64.exe can't exit from windows7 64 p sp1.

[rrr314159]

Hi six_L,

Did u move the window first? As I mentioned, the exit button (in top right corner) works only after u move the window. Don't know why. Mikl__ asked about the tooltips so once I got that working I left it at that, there was one other small problem (see my first para above). IF you mean it still won't exit even after u move the window - it must be related to the same problem. Hadn't intended to try to fix it; I might look at it; if u figure it out let us know!

It's worth noting, I've converted dozens of windows progs from 32-bit successfully with this technique. This is first time I dealt with Common Controls, though. Maybe one more argument needs to be changed from dword to qword (that's done automatically by my invoke macro, but sometimes a conversion detail must be dealt with "by hand"). If you use JWasm invoke instead, it will reveal such arguments, because it checks the proto statement; alternatively, u can study the proto in the include file. But in this case, I did so (required quite a few changes to finally get JWasm invoke to work) but it still didn't fix the problem.

I don't doubt, if u mess around with it, it's fixable.

BTW if people want me to fix it I'll do so, but since Mikl__ didn't respond I figured he had done it himself

[Mikl__]

Hi, rrr314159!
I'm sorry, that did not answer right away, but I have Windows 7 Prof x64 and your tut_27_64 not shows tooltips

[rrr314159]

Looks like you're right. It works on my Windows 8, though. I'll take a look at it ...

[edit] No good, tried it with your include files, and also with JWasm invoke, still doesn't work on 7. It works on Windows 8 using Japheth's includes, not with yours. So, recommend you try your version with the includes I provided; they define TOOLINFO differently, that might have something to do with it. Apart from that, I give up for now
