Menu selection algorithm

[Shachar Shemesh]

Hi list,

Sorry if this is slightly off topic.

I am having some trouble with a sample program I keep changing to death. This program is written in VC on Windows 2000, and being run on Wine as well. I added a Hebrew menu over an already existing English(US) one. My regional settings say that my global settings are Hebrew, as are my local settings. The two menus both have the same ID, and only the language is different between them. When VC's resource editor displays the menus, it displays one with (English U.S) appended, and the Hebrew one without any extension (implying it thinks this is the default one).

So, what's the problem - you ask? While my view of what should happen is obviously consistant with that of Wine's - i.e. - the locale should select which menu to use, Windows displays the English locale ONLY. The only way I could make it display the Hebrew one was by changing the language on the English one to something else (French).

Wine behaves as expected. running:
wine TestApp
Yields an english menu, while
LANG=he_IL wine TestApp
yields a Hebrew one.

I wouldn't worry so much, except that since we define a bug in Wine as any inconsistancy with Windows, this is a bug. I'm mostly trying to understand why Windows won't do what it's supposed to do, however.

I'm using "RegisterClass" to register a class with the menu identifier passed using "MAKEINTRESOURCE", and then just calling "CreateWindow" to create the window.

Anyone has any ideas or suggestions, or just an opinion whether that should worry us at all?
