Listview Unicode for CLASS TGrid()

[Jimmy]

hi,

i have found in c:\fwh\source\winapi\listview.c what was change for Unicode

Code: Select all | Expand

   LPWSTR pWide = fw_parWide( 3 );

//   lvi.pszText  = ( LPTSTR ) hb_parc( 3 );
   lvi.pszText  = pWide;

Question : is fw_parWide() the same as AnsiToWide()

---

i have now include

Code: Select all | Expand

#define UNICODE    // Made Unicode compatible 2023-07-07
#include <CommCtrl.h>
#undef UNICODE
#include "fwh.h"

Question : why "#undef UNICODE"

---

now i get Warning

i guess it is while i have not use fw_parWide() / LPWSTR but LPTSTR

how to use this with Unicode

Code: Select all | Expand

   lvi.pszText    = (TCHAR*) hb_parvc (2, 1);

Code: Select all | Expand

    LPSTR lpText;
   char *   caption;
   ...
   for (nCol = 1; nCol < nColumnCount; nCol++)
   {
      caption  = (TCHAR*) hb_parvc (2, nCol+1) ;
      lpText = caption;
      ListView_SetItemText (hWnd, nRow, nCol, lpText );
   }
 

Code: Select all | Expand

1599   // lstrcpyn( pDispInfo->item.pszText, ( CHAR * ) hb_parc( 2 ), pDispInfo->item.cchTextMax );
1600   LPWSTR lpText = fw_parWide( 2 );
1601   lstrcpyn( pDispInfo->item.pszText, lpText, pDispInfo->item.cchTextMax );
 

Code: Select all | Expand

HB_FUNC( LV_GETITEMTEXT )
{
   TCHAR buffer [1024] ;
...
   lvi.pszText = buffer;
   buffer[ 0 ] = 0;
   buffer[ 1023 ] = 0;

   ListView_GetItem( hWnd, &lvi );

   hb_retc (lvi.pszText);
}

how can help me please

Question : is fw_parWide() the same as AnsiToWide()

No.
if the parameter is UTF8 it uses "MultiByteToWideChar()", Windows API function and if not, then it is ANSI and uses AnsiToWide()
See:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo ... towidechar
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windo ... omultibyte

It is safer to use FWH built-in functions to make properly working Unicode library.

#define UNICODE    // Made Unicode compatible 2023-07-07
#include <CommCtrl.h>
#undef UNICODE
#include "fwh.h"
 

Sole purpose of this def and undef is to get the our program defines to work with Wide structures and Wide api functions.
Beyond that we have no use for this define.


In some cases Wide api handle normal ansi strings also well.
In this small module this is enough for us.

Yes.
If you like we can make the modifications.

how to use this with Unicode
Code:
lvi.pszText = (TCHAR*) hb_parvc (2, 1);

can I see the full HB_FUNC?
Or you can send to me.

hi,

can I see the full HB_FUNC?

you can find Source of CLASS TGrid and Hb_Func.PRG ( all "C" Code ) at
https://github.com/AugeOhr/TGRID

i try to learn "C" but for these "Problem" my "C" Knowledge is to small
my ANSI Version , using TCHAR / LPSTR , work but how with Unicode

need some help please

[nageswaragunupudi]

i try to learn "C" but for these "Problem" my "C" Knowledge is to small

I am also still learning Sir.
We will surely assist you on this.
Please give me a little more time.
Too many things on hand right now.

Note:
This is my personal opinion. I will stand corrected if I am wrong.
I think if the application is not at all meant for East Asian Languages which are totally dependent on Unicode, better we stick to ANSI mode only ( I mean for applications meant for West European Languages only.
Only requirement for UTF8 is when writing to and reading data from Utf encoded database tables.
We have other ways of handling that.
Just an idea for you and other friends to consider.

[Jimmy]

hi,

i do understand that East Asian Languages are not the biggest Problem for Fivewin

my TGrid() ANSI Version work so far but when enable LVS_OWNERDATA it does not work with FW_SetUnicode( .T. )

Code: Select all | Expand

      ::nStyle := nOR( ::nStyle, LVS_OWNERDATA )
      ::bDisplay := { | nPtrNMHDR | ::OnDISPINFO( nPtrNMHDR ) }

when set FW_SetUnicode( .T. ) it does "block" notify Event LVN_GETDISPINFO

Code: Select all | Expand

METHOD Notify( nIdCtrl, nPtrNMHDR ) CLASS TGrid
LOCAL nCode := GetNMHDRCode( nPtrNMHDR )
LOCAL nItem := GETNMHEAITEM( nPtrNMHDR )
LOCAL nKey
LOCAL nPosi, nRow, r

STATIC nOption

   DO CASE
      CASE nCode == LVN_GETDISPINFO
         IF ::bDisplay != nil
            EVAL( ::bDisplay, nPtrNMHDR, Self )
         ENDIF

i "hope" that it work when my CLASS TGrid() is Unicode "ready" to use "virtual Grid"
it does now work only with "virtual Grid" when use FW_SetUnicode( .F. )
