EPIC WIN!

I would not say that this is an epic win, but this seems to be the thread to show software that works in Ros.

It is not perfect, but it seems to do what it should.

The issues I have found with it are:
A window that was over-lapped by the grepWin window, could not be brought to the the front, even though when I clicked on the window it showed it had the focus (top blue bar), the grepWin window had to be minimized to the taskbar.
The grepWin window is very slow to paint itself from being minimized on the taskbar.
The old contents of the 'Search Results' window are briefly in a mess (unreadable) when starting a new search.
The 'Matches' column is showing 'read error' for some search results (see in image above).

From the little I have used it, it seems to work quite well.

TeamSpeak 2 Server testing on ROS

Works well... partially. Seems to produce errors with BSOD sometimes. Testing without installed sound driver.

(Almost) two more epic wins:

- Our NTVDM is mentioned there: http://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/?p=3614
- ReactOS build 61112: http://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/?p=3619 where the author tests Visual C++ 4.0 and QWDOS

But one has to read the warning before in the post.

A bit less epic: UQM HD installs, but does not seem to work.

I'm looking into this right now.... This is a good test application. What's going on, grepWin is bypassing the window activation via the message system. Rebounding the selecting of the other window by deactivating it then selecting itself again. Could be something left over in the message queued loop. With the debugs turn on it is fun to watch. Something the test bot can not test for.

Found it, rev 57068 window link validation code. grepWin sets WS_EX_TOPMOST.

See CORE-6554.

Will it get commited to trunk soon?

Note do not copy the folders Program Files and reactos unless React OS is fully installed
Note this bat file was written on windows xp and has not been tested on vista /7 /8/8.1/10

wingrep is open source so it could be used as the search tool in reactos

I think you meant grepWin. It uses the GNU GPL v2 license. I could not locate a program named wingrep that is open source. This wingrep (also called Windows Grep) is not open source, it is shareware.

Does grepWin pass the classic flowchart test for Software Useful To ReactOS?

There is a Wgrep which is gpl, but it fails to run in Ros; missing dll, I think.
Look in the " Read this if you've found software useful to ReactOS " in this forum for a bit more info.

Does grepWin pass the classic flowchart test for Software Useful To ReactOS?

The website does not say what language it is written in, so until that is found out, your question cannot be answered.
But I would guess C or C++ (but who knows!).

grepWin appears to be written in C++.

ReactOS already includes a file search function. The dev. team may not need a replacement search function.

grepWin is actually a very nice utility. The only concern is its interface is probably a bit too intimidating for novice users.
