Not too sad though; can't let language be a a showstopper for a 'classic'

Here is the program translated to English for the C part and the .rc part.
Original Finnish version is still there, just 'excluded'.  To get that version
just 'exclude' the _EN versions and include the original as Timo adjusted for
Pelles C V13, then build again.

TWinAT from 2005 and now compiled with Pelles c v13.
Sadly texts in Finnish language, as was created for company's IT persons.
Twenty years ago created and used until 2021 factory closed.

NetScheduleJobEnum function (lmat.h)

[NetScheduleJobEnum is no longer available for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use the Task Scheduler 2.0 Interfaces.

Hi Timo,

Your test is not meaningless. Curiosity is what keeps us alive.

Reading Timo's and John's messages, here is the new version :

Code Select Expand

include    EnumWnd.inc

.data

ZeroVal    dd 0
ZeroPtr    dd OFFSET ZeroVal
msg        db '%s',13,10,0

.data?

buffer      db 256 dup(?)
buffer2    db 256 dup(?)

.code

start:

    invoke  EnumWindows,ADDR EnumWndProc,0
    invoke  ExitProcess,0

EnumWndProc PROC hwnd:DWORD,lParam:DWORD

    invoke  GetWindowText,hwnd,ADDR buffer,255
    mov    edx,OFFSET msg
    test    eax,eax
    cmovz  edx,DWORD PTR [ZeroPtr]
    invoke  printf,edx,ADDR buffer
    mov    eax,1
    ret

EnumWndProc ENDP

END start

Work in progress / Re: New resizer discussion

Last post by John Z - December 06, 2025, 03:15:30 PM

Here is an early look at adding 'Auto Font Sizing' to the resizer library.

Still has some, maybe many, issues to work out but is a working preview.  Just don't know how much interest there would be in having this feature.  Is nice for visually impaired as full screen window has big text.

To test click the "Toggle Auto Font" button in lower right, then drag the window larger or smaller to see effects. Toggling 'Button resize' will also inhibit font resize for buttons since the button is not larger.

A few obvious issues: not working with custom control, Owner Draw sometimes double vision, restore of original is not yet implemented well.  Not implemented globally yet so not for the child windows in this tester.

Just the tester at this point - no sources

Still just same three functions -

A fun fact - the maximum 'displayable' text in the title bar is 255 characters so while that length would be unusual just 64 characters might only be 1/4th of the text.  Also the text can be much longer than 255 but only 255 are displayed.

More fun, eliminate wsprintf and buffer2

Code Select Expand

    invoke  GetWindowText,hwnd,ADDR buffer,64
    cmp     eax,0
    je      @f
    mov     WORD PTR[buffer+eax], 0A0Dh
    add     eax, 2
    invoke  WriteFile, hStdOut, ADDR buffer, eax, 0, 0

Hi Timo,

Here is the new version eliminating the extra branching :

Code Select Expand

include     EnumWnd.inc

.data

f1          db '%s',13,10,0
ZeroVal     dd 0
ZeroPtr     dd OFFSET ZeroVal

.data?

hStdOut dd ?
buffer      db 128 dup(?)
buffer2     db 128 dup(?)

.code

start:

    invoke  GetStdHandle, STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE
    mov     hStdOut,eax
    invoke  EnumWindows,ADDR EnumWndProc,0
    invoke  ExitProcess,0
   

EnumWndProc PROC USES ebx hwnd:DWORD,lParam:DWORD

    mov     ebx,OFFSET buffer2
    invoke  GetWindowText,hwnd,ADDR buffer,64
    invoke  wsprintf,ebx,ADDR f1,ADDR buffer
    cmp     eax,2
    cmovz   ebx,DWORD PTR [ZeroPtr]
    invoke  WriteFile,hStdOut,ebx,eax,0,0
    mov     eax,1
    ret

EnumWndProc ENDP

END start
