Using wine for automatization

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello list

I have a windows application that is runnable under wine. Now i want this app to be controllable without the gui. For Reasons somewhere between licensing,a crazy management, and legal issues this app cant be replaced be a better solution nor can i reverse engineer it to find out what is does and then recode that. And it has to run under linux. So the plan for automatization is to find the places where wine builds buttons, lists, text-fields and so on and then hook come code there to rip out every element of the gui to give it to another controlling app. The other way the controll app then has to call the wine mouse and keyboard event functions to control the windows application. So far so Good. Problem is that i'm new in wine and windows foo. Producing the actual code should be no problem, but understanding how and were wine does thinks like building gui elements is hard if you have no clue about this mass of source-code wine consists of. So my question is were to start, how to find out what functions are called to build elements of the gui,what dll's are used for this, are there any tools that are helpful and so on. I currently collecting as many information as possible, so anything you post is helpful. Or is this the wrong list for something like this, maybe i should post on the dev ml. questions over questions... :)

Thanks in advance for any response

Dirk
