Get control and polish nation characters

[pawelu]

Antonio,

I create simple test function with 2 control: get an multiget eg:

Code: Select all  Expand view

Function TestPlc ()

   Local oWnd := Nil
   Local oTest1 := Nil
   Local cTest1 := Space (30)
   Local oTest2 := Nil
   Local cTest2 := Space (30)

   Define Window oWnd Title 'Nation characters'
   @ 50, 5 Get oTest1 Var cTest1 Size 200, 20 Pixel On Change MsgInfo ('Ok')
   @ 80, 5 Get oTest1 Var cTest1 Size 200, 20 Pixel Multiline On Change MsgInfo ('Ok')
   Activate Window oWnd

Return .T.


When I type in standard get field polish nation character eg. Ą (ASCII code 165) get buffer still empty and message no show. Next, when I put normal letter, this remove first. This is for all polish nation characters without Ó (ASCII code - 211). In multiline get control all polish letters works OK - buffer is change when I type normal and nation letters.

Pawel,

You have to use this code but with your country initials:

REQUEST HB_LANG_ES
REQUEST HB_CODEPAGE_ESWIN
HB_LangSelect('ES')
HB_SetCodePage("ESWIN")

Antonio,

I test with and without initial language settings:

Code: Select all  Expand view

   Request Hb_Lang_PLWIN
   Request Hb_CodePage_PLWIN
   Hb_LangSelect ('PL')
   Hb_SetCodePage ('PLWIN')


Nothing is change.

Pawel,

We may need to review how ASCII code 165 is managed in Class TGet.

Antonio,

I check key codes send to get control from Marchevka software keyboard . It's look like this:

Ą - 260 ą - 261
Ć - 262 ć - 263
Ę - 280 ę - 281
Ł - 321 ł - 322
Ń - 323 ń - 324
Ó - 211 ó - 243
Ś - 346 ś - 347
Ź - 377 ź - 378
Ż - 379 ż - 380

In get control range key codes is limit to 32 - 256. Only one key codes include in this range - Ó and ó.

Antonio,

I create temporary solution for that - I create copy class tget and change keychar method eg:

Code: Select all  Expand view

      case (nKey >= 32 .and. nKey < 256) .or. PlCorCode (@nKey)


where PlCorCode (nKey) is:

Code: Select all  Expand view

Static Function PlCorCode (nKey)

   Local i := 0
   Local lOk := .F.

   // key codes for PLWIN (Marchevka keyboard)
   //                Ą    Ć    Ę    Ł    Ń    Ó    Ś    Ź    Ż
   //                ą    ć    ę    ł    ń    ó    ś    ź    ż
   Static aPlMar := {260, 262, 280, 321, 323, 211, 346, 377, 379, ;
                     261, 263, 281, 322, 324, 243, 347, 378, 380}
   Static aPlCor := {165, 198, 202, 163, 209, 211, 140, 143, 175, ;
                     185, 230, 234, 179, 241, 243, 156, 159, 191}

   If (i := AScan (aPlMar, nKey)) > 0
      nKey := aPlCor[i]
      lOk := .T.
   Endif

Return lOk
