Unicode Support to Dialogs from Resources

Unicode Support to Dialogs from Resources

Postby RAMESHBABU » Tue Sep 29, 2015 8:39 am

Dear Mr.Antonio,

I was testing Unicode support from our FiveWin. All seems to be working ok
to the extent of Unicode implemented sofar upto FWH_1509.

But one thing i noticed is that the text from Dialogs in R.C are not being
converted.

Please post the resulting screenshot here.

Many thanks

Ramesh,

Are those dialogs from a RC file ?

If so, could you please post here the RC file or send it to my email ?

thanks

Antonio,

I make this sample, PRG and RC that I convert to UTF-8 style.

Code: Select all  Expand view

// Add this to your resources RC file

#ifdef __FLAT__
   1 24 "./WinXP/WindowsXP.Manifest"
#endif

new      BITMAP "./bitmaps/32x32/new.bmp"
quit     BITMAP "./bitmaps/32x32/quit.bmp"

TEST DIALOG 20, 41, 356, 86
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "測試  Unicode 繁體中文(Traditional Chinese)-例如堃,叙"
FONT 12, "細明體"
{
 EDITTEXT 201, 68, 7, 170, 12
 EDITTEXT 202, 68, 22, 99, 12
 CONTROL "存檔", 301, "BUTTON", BS_USERBUTTON | WS_TABSTOP, 302, 8, 46, 18
 CONTROL "取消", 302, "BUTTON", BS_USERBUTTON | WS_TABSTOP, 302, 29, 46, 18
 CONTROL "列印", 303, "BUTTON", BS_USERBUTTON | WS_TABSTOP, 302, 50, 46, 18
 LTEXT "中文地址", 101, 5, 7, 60, 12
 LTEXT "中文姓名", 102, 5, 22, 60, 12
}
 
Best Regards,

It seems as we have to use cgrc.exe for resources with unicode:

Ok, as explained by Cristobal to me, Windows does not support UTF8. Only Unicode.

So you have to open the RC file with notepad.exe and save it with Unicode format.

Cristobal, thanks for the finding :-)

And don't forget to add this at the beginning of your PRG:

FW_SetUnicode( .T. )

And it seems as brc32.exe can not be used, instead we have to use cgrc.exe from Embarcadero.

In buildh.bat this change is needed:

Instead of:

IF EXIST %1.rc %bcdir%\bin\brc32.exe -r -I%bcdir%\include -I%bcdir%\include\windows\sdk %1

We must use:

IF EXIST %1.rc %bcdir%\bin\cgrc.exe -r -m -I%bcdir%\include -I%bcdir%\include\windows\sdk %1

As Embarcadero does not allow the redistribution of these (free) tools, if you are interested

about using cgrc.exe please send me a gmail account if you want to receive the instructions about how to download the software

from Embarcadero and where this tool is located

Dear Mr.Antinio,

I am extremely happy for that I could
get the Unicode resource dialogs shown
properly with unicode characters, with
your great help.

cgrc.exe and saving the .rc file with in
unicode format has done the magic.

Hello Mr.Richard

The dialog what I have shown above is generated using your source only.

Plz. follow the instructions give by Mr.Antonio. I reiterate them once again
for you.

A) In the begenning of you main program, you have to write FW_SetUnicode(.T.)
B) You plase copy your .RC file contents into notepad and save it as "unicode" not "UTF-8"
C) Copy cgrc.exe into BCC7\BIN or BCC582\BIN
D) In Buildx.bat say :

Code: Select all  Expand view

    rem IF EXIST %1.rc %bcdir%\bin\brc32 -r -I%bcdir%\include %1
    IF EXIST %1.rc %bcdir%\bin\cgrc -r -m -ipath%bcdir%\include %1
 

E) Just compile and link it. You will get the .EXE properly built and working with UNICODE support.

In case you need the .EXE generated from your own code you gave me, plz. write to my private mail.
I will send it to you.

Thats all

Regards,

-Ramesh Babu
