wine users - Dec 2008 - msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet

Greetings,

I have a Win32 app I wrote in C.  I compiled the source code for Wine
without a problem.  The app appears to run fine but it spits out:

      fixme:msg:pack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet

I checked all of my code and nowhere do I use WM_ERASEBKGND.  Can someone
give me a hint on how to get rid of this annoying message?

Thank you.

Blake McBride

it's just an informational message, if you don't want to see it then set
the environment variable WINEDEBUG to -all

WINEDEBUG=-all wine foo.exe

I doubt. You have full source of Wine as well. You can find where it's
coming from and fix it. Or just tell your users to ignore those messages, since
Wine can print much more meaningless messages.

Do you change the background anywhere in your program code? 

You might also want to look at the code generated by any pre-processors.

WM_ERASEBKGND is probably something used by Wine or somewhere deeper rooted into
system functions that you use. In any case, it's likely something that has
to be fixed inside Wine rather than your  app.
