ResEd is chopping off auto-export filename

[Shantanu Gadgil]

Hi,
ResEd is chopping off the filename at 9 characters:

e.g.:
If I specify the filename "res123456789", it saves the auto-export file name as "res123456"

I tracked the save and auto export operation till:

Code Select Expand

.if nmeexp.fAuto
    invoke SendMessage,hProject,PRO_EXPORTNAMES,1,hOut
.endif
in the function "SaveProject"

but was completely lost as to where it is going from there!!!  :dazzled: :dazzled: :dazzled:

Any help would be appreciated!

Regards,
Shantanu

... further digging around ... the RAResEd.lib (228k) is used while linking, which I presume would contain the save to file code.

in the file "NameEdit.asm", in function "SaveNamesToFile" the following codes seems to be the one which looks suspicious:

Code Select Expand

GetFileName:
invoke lstrcpyn,addr tmpbuffer,offset szExportFileName,10
invoke lstrcmpi,addr tmpbuffer,offset szProject
.if !eax
lea edx,tmpbuffer
mov ecx,offset szResourceh
.while byte ptr [ecx]!='.'
mov al,[ecx]
mov [edx],al
inc ecx
inc edx
.endw
mov eax,offset szExportFileName+9
invoke lstrcpy,edx,eax
invoke lstrcpy,addr fnbuffer,addr tmpbuffer
.else
invoke lstrcpy,addr fnbuffer,offset szExportFileName
.endif

the "lstrcpyn" of 10 looks like the code which is copying only 9 chars. (resource. == resource for the filesystem)

The RAResEd project does not assemble btw... am I missing something?
I just opened the RAResEd.rap file and tried "Assemble".

it dies on lines like:

Code Select Expand

and ws, (-1 xor (WS_POPUP or WS_DISABLED or WS_MINIMIZE or WS_MAXIMIZE or WS_VISIBLE))

with error:

Code Select Expand

DlgEdit.asm(3166) : error A2022: instruction operands must be the same size

Yippee ... problem fixed .... the ",10" was the problem as suspected!!! The auto export filename gets saved correctly now!!!

(BTW, I am using ML.EXE version 8.0 ... so the error message could be v8 specific, dunno!)

There were other errors along the way ...

I fixed the offending code in the RAResEd with the equivalent expanded code:

Code Select Expand

;and ws, (-1 xor (WS_POPUP or WS_DISABLED or WS_MINIMIZE or WS_MAXIMIZE or WS_VISIBLE))

becomes:

Code Select Expand

mov eax, -1
xor eax, (WS_POPUP or WS_DISABLED or WS_MINIMIZE or WS_MAXIMIZE or WS_VISIBLE)
and ws, eax

MASM happy ... code assembles ... me happy!!!  :bg :bg :bg

There were some more errors:

Code Select Expand

PopUAll dd -1 xor WS_POPUP,0
dd -1 xor WS_POPUP,WS_POPUP

wrror message:

Code Select Expand

Property.asm(183) : error A2071: initializer magnitude too large for specified size

That was fixed by making the "-1" as "0ffffffffh"

After all this ... I don't know whether the entire ResEd is in an OK state !!! Too tired to verify that it works OK.

Cheers, Thanks and Regards,
