tget for chinese characters

[alfredlam]

Hi Antonio,
How to amend the TGET.PRG so that it can work like TEDIT.PRG
for two characters support (Chinese, etc.) without set the FW_SETUNICODE(.T.).

Regards and thanks

[Antonio Linares]

Can we see an example of using Unicode text in Edit control without setting FW_SetUnicode( .T. ) ?
Thanks in advance.

HI
I think TEdit.prg not work Unicode and 2 bytes Chinese.
Long time ago, FWH not support Unicode and 2 bytes Chinese. so I modify TGet.prg to support 2 bytes Chinese(not unicode and not support XP Themes)
When I run MiniGUI, I found TEdit replace TGet within MiniGUI. so I suggestion Antonio to make TEdit.prg , not I think not work and return use TGet.prg( modify support Chinese )
But I don't know new FWH TEdit support 2 bytes Chinese and Use or not FW_SetUnicode( .T. )

[nageswaragunupudi]

TEdit control uses Windows native Edit control. It can only handle either ANSI or Unicode. There is nothing we can do about it.

so I modify TGet.prg to support 2 bytes Chinese(not unicode and not support XP Themes)

This is what is required.

Exactly, Richard would you please amend the Tget.prg again ?

[nageswaragunupudi]

Mr alfredlam

Richard's help would be highly useful.

Meanwhile would you mind sharing with us how with Edit control you are able to enter Chinese characters? We may try to make TGet behave like Edit control. Are you setting any Chinese codepage like CP950 or BIG5 ?

Mr alfredlam

I will send TGet.prg to Mr.Rao
This TGet.prg not support XP Themes.

If you want to use CP950 or BIG5 of Chinese, I think you will get Unicode Chinese word problem.

Mr Richard

Thanks

If you want to use CP950 or BIG5 of Chinese, I think you will get Unicode Chinese word problem.

Mr Alfredlam does not want to use Unicode.
Yes, Unicode application is not compatible with BIG5 or CP950.

Can you please clarify as to how can we test entering Chinese characters into your TGet class? We do not have Chinese keyboard. I believe the on-screen Chinese keyboard of Windows enters only utf8 characters.

Mr alfredlam

Yes. I think you'll meet end user input Unicode word and appear "???". Because you use old TGet 2byes solution not XP Themes( CP950/BIG5 )

[alfredlam]

Dear Richard.
How to set XP Themes( CP950/BIG5 ) ?
Thanks and regards
