Component:  File Viewers

This Update fixes the following issue with the “File Viewers” Project:

  1. The wrong data file ICONs are referenced in the viewers.reg file.

  2. The Image Viewer recent directories drop down list was sized too small.

  3. The Excel Viewer was not correctly displaying slide names.

  4. The PowerPoint Viewer was not correctly displaying the black slide when utilizing an external display.

  5. The PDF Viewer object files are corrupt.

Additional PDF Viewer Notes:

 

Support format includes PDF documents compliant with version 1.3 (or earlier) of the PDF format.

 

The PDF Viewer has additional font requirements. The v1.3 of the PDF specification calls for the following standard fonts commonly used in PDF files: Courier, Courier-Bold, Courier-Oblique, Courier-BoldOblique, Helvetica, Helvetica-Bold, Helvetica-Oblique, Helvetica-BoldOblique, Times-Roman, Times-Bold, Times-Italic, Times-BoldItalic, Symbol and ZapfDingbats.

 

Windows CE .NET 4.1 does not ship several of these fonts so the PDF Viewer will make the following substitutions:

Courier --> Courier New

Helvetica --> Arial

Times --> Times New Roman

Symbol --> Symbol

ZapfDingbats --> Wingding

It is recommended that OEMs include these five fonts to enable a positive user experience with the PDF Viewer.

 

Current PDF Viewer Limitations:

  1. CCITTFaxDecode images are not supported

  2. Encrypted files are not supported.  An error message is displayed when an encrypted documents is encountered.

  3. Acrobat Forms are not supported and no content will be shown.

  4. Type 3 fonts are not supported but some attempt is made to map them if a ToUnicode mapping exists.

  5. Type 1 fonts are mapped using either the Encoding or ToUnicode mappings depending upon what is available.

  6. Clip paths are not supported.

  7. Polypolygons will be treated as polygons and may have the interiors filled.

  8. Embedded TrueType fonts are not used but are mapped to existing fonts already installed on the system.

  9. Colors from unsupported colors spaces (such as ICCBased or DeviceN color) may be displayed incorrectly.

  10. Text is only shown at 90 degree rotations.

  11. Predictive ZIP decoding and CMYK JPEGs are not supported.

Description of issues addressed in this update:

These are fixes in MFC OLECE400(d).DLL libraries that result in an assert for the described dispatch parameter types, incorrect function parameters and return values on SH3, SH4, MIPSII_FP and MIPSIV_FP platforms.

This update modifies the following MFC source files: dispimpl.h, oledisp1.cpp, oledisp2.cpp, and afxdisp.h. This package also updates the MFC libraries OLECE400(d).DLL. The updated MFC libraries can be redistributed when exporting a platform SDK.

Information for OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers):
After applying this update, a platform SDK should be re-exported to update it with the libraries and source files provided by this update. It is not necessary to rebuild any DLLs included in the platform that use the shared MFC DLL.

Component:  MFC

This is a fix for a problem in MFC libraries that may result in occasional heap corruption for dlls using the shared MFC DLL.  This modifies a single MFC source file, dllmodul.cpp, and the MFC libraries that include it.  The fixed MFC libraries are used to create dlls using the shared MFC DLL and these MFC libraries can be redistributed when exporting a platform SDK. 

Information for OEM

After applying this Update, the platform SDK should be exported to update it with the libraries and source file provided by this Update.  Also, any dlls included in the platform that use the shared MFC DLL should be rebuilt.

Information for Developers

The modification in the MFC source file, dllmodul.cpp, is to modify the function call, AfxTermThread(), to include a parameter in the call, AfxTermThread(hInstance).  This prevents memory from being free that is still referenced in MFC.  The source file, dllmodul.cpp, is included in the libraries mfcs42.lib and mfcs42d.lib which are also replaced by this Update.

Description of issues addressed in this Update:
- An update to implement proper handling of VT_I1, VT_UI2, VT_UI4, VT_R4 and VT_R8 dispatch parameters for SH4, MIPSII_FP and MIPSIV_FP CPUs.
- Improvement to CPU-specific thunk code according to the correct calling convention for SH3, SH4, MIPSII_FP and MIPSIV_FP.
- Eliminates a memory leak in dispatch code marshaling.

These are fixes in MFC OLECE400(d).DLL libraries that result in an assert for the described dispatch parameter types, incorrect function parameters and return values on SH3, SH4, MIPSII_FP and MIPSIV_FP platforms.

This update modifies the following MFC source files: dispimpl.h, oledisp1.cpp, oledisp2.cpp, and afxdisp.h. This package also updates the MFC libraries OLECE400(d).DLL. The updated MFC libraries can be redistributed when exporting a platform SDK.

In order to properly address this issue, the following registry changes need to be made on the device (for example, in PUBLIC\RDP\OAK\FILES\rdp.reg).  The keyboard layout code will need to be changed to an 0xExxx code - the following example is for Korean:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client]
"Keyboard Layout"="0x00000412" ; //Change this to 0xE0000412

More generally, the fix for this issue attempts to determine if the host supports VKPackets, which was support added to Windows XP Service Pack 1.  IF VKPackets support is needed, the following addition may be made to the registry (public.reg is likely the best location):

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client]

"RequireVKPackets"=dword:1

"CmdSendDelay"=dword:<value>

Where:  <CompanyX-modem> is the name of the modem in the registry and <value> is the hex value of the delay (in milliseconds).  This is a maximum of 500 ms.
