Different size of structure needed by masm and c++

I have used the TOOLINFO structure in masm and VC++ on XP3
Surprise,masm need a size of 2ch and vc++ 30h (+4 void *lpReserved)
The c++ and masm code are attached
Any idea on how it is possible ?

      ZeroMemory(&toolInfo,sizeof (toolInfo));

       toolInfo.hwnd = Hwnd;
       toolInfo.uFlags = TTF_IDISHWND | TTF_SUBCLASS;
       toolInfo.uId = (UINT_PTR)Hcontrole;

       retour = SendMessage(hToolTip, TTM_ADDTOOL, 0,(LPARAM)(LPTOOLINFO) &toolInfo)   ;
   return retour;

Because Windows couldn't care less how big the struct is. This works just fine:

   MbTIS   TOOLINFO <?>
   dd 100 dup(?)
   ...
         m2m [esi.TOOLINFO.cbSize], sizeof TOOLINFO+400

_WIN32_WINNT is likely to be defined under VC, and a manifest created

QuoteFor _WIN32_WINNT  > 0x0501, you must set 'cbSize' to TTTOOLINFOA_V2_SIZE (instead of
sizeof(TOOLTIPINFO)) or include the appropriate version of Common Controls in the manifest.
Otherwise the tooltip won't be displayed.

The tooltips do display with the above extra 400 bytes. Windows might have problems with less bytes, but not with more...

For masochists, here is the definition of TTTOOLINFOA_V2_SIZE from C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Include\CommCtrl.h:

#ifndef CCSIZEOF_STRUCT
#define CCSIZEOF_STRUCT(structname, member)  (((int)((LPBYTE)(&((structname*)0)->member) - ((LPBYTE)((structname*)0)))) + sizeof(((structname*)0)->member))
#endif


#define TTTOOLINFOA_V1_SIZE CCSIZEOF_STRUCT(TTTOOLINFOA, lpszText)
#define TTTOOLINFOW_V1_SIZE CCSIZEOF_STRUCT(TTTOOLINFOW, lpszText)
#define TTTOOLINFOA_V2_SIZE CCSIZEOF_STRUCT(TTTOOLINFOA, lParam)
#define TTTOOLINFOW_V2_SIZE CCSIZEOF_STRUCT(TTTOOLINFOW, lParam)
#define TTTOOLINFOA_V3_SIZE CCSIZEOF_STRUCT(TTTOOLINFOA, lpReserved)
#define TTTOOLINFOW_V3_SIZE CCSIZEOF_STRUCT(TTTOOLINFOW, lpReserved)

typedef struct tagTOOLINFOA {
    UINT cbSize;
    UINT uFlags;
    HWND hwnd;
    UINT_PTR uId;
    RECT rect;
    HINSTANCE hinst;
    LPSTR lpszText;
#if (_WIN32_IE >= 0x0300)
    LPARAM lParam;
#endif
#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0501)
    void *lpReserved;
#endif
} TTTOOLINFOA, NEAR *PTOOLINFOA, *LPTTTOOLINFOA;

Jochen,

that's awful. I luke especially that:

You have to know the facts before you can distort them.

TouEnMasm


This macro can be usefull:
Quote
CCSIZEOF_STRUCT MACRO structname:REQ,member:REQ
   Local structsize
   chaine CATSTR <structname>,<.>,<member>
    structsize equ offset chaine - offset structname + sizeof chaine
   EXITM<structsize>
ENDM
Add it to the commctrl.sdk after the line:
IFNDEF CCSIZEOF_STRUCT
And you will have all the TTTOOLINFOA_V(N)_SIZE  defined and more.
usage:
mov eax,CCSIZEOF_STRUCT(TTTOOLINFOA,lParam)

For _WIN32_WINNT  > 0x0501, you must set 'cbSize' to TTTOOLINFOA_V2_SIZE (instead of
sizeof(TOOLTIPINFO)) or include the appropriate version of Common Controls in the manifest.

Is it possible to have a sample who show a working and not working code ?.
