[Mono-list] SWF Programming Question

[Oren Novotny]

Since the current consensus is that SWF will be using WineLib as a base, does that mean that developers don’t have to worry about their P/Invoke calls to Win32 functions not working on Mono?  I.e., if my app calls Shell32 or User32, it’ll still work since that’s a part of WineLib.  Would that also extend to Shdocvw.dll (a.k.a., MSIE’s COM interface)?  Many programs use IE (via Shdocvw.dll) to display HTML and to provide a WYSIWYG editor.  Would calls to it via P/Invoke, COM and ActiveX be supported under WineLib?   I’m just trying to get a sense of what kind of compatibility there will be for SWF applications since many of them use Win32 functions, COM, ActiveX, and MSIE…   Thanks,   --Oren
