unicode character problem

8-Jul-09 22:55

As per the MSDN it should like below:-

BOOL CMainFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{
if( !CFrameWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
return FALSE;
if(NULL != cs.hMenu )
{
::DestroyMenu(cs.hMenu); // delete menu if loaded
cs.hMenu = NULL; // no menu for this window
}

return TRUE;
}

Hi,

I am making my application unicode supporting one. i have an edit box which displays chinese characters etc., but not arabic characters...

why it is not showing arabic characters alone? does anyone have any idea about this?

Note: i have my editbox's default font as Arial Unicode MS.

Thanks,
Rakesh.

What does it display instead of Arabic letters? Question marks or some garbage character?

Hi Rajesh,

So, if it doesn't display question marks, it could be as simple as that the machine is not having the language pack installed. Have you tried Michael Schubert's suggestion? I didn't suggest it right away to ensure that you weren't seeing question marks instead.

but one thing is confusing me alot rajesh...

i have two views for my application..say x and y.(different views)...x is created in runtime...i will create y.. based on y, x will be created actually....i get the inputs from xml file for x view..say font details, bgcolor details etc., i changed font to arial unicode ms everywhere but still its not showing arabic characters alone..

in y view, its showing arabic characters and in another view (x),its showing junk characters..

Thanks,
Rakesh.

Well, I'm not sure. I've never worked with Arabic characters, but have you checked if it's got anything to do with setting the "reading direct order"? (Arabic is right to left).

I think you have to install the language and font support in Windows:
Control Panel -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages -> Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages

Hi all,

I already managed to connect to the dataase-MySQL:-select and insert the data in the database.

But, my problem is, how am i going to put the data into the list.

Let say when I'm doing the selecting, i got 20 records. And each record is contain 4 fields.

How am I going to set the data to

(field1, field2, field3, field4)

Thanks.

res = stmt ->executeQuery("SELECT a, b, c, d from log");

while (res->next()){
res->getString(1);
res->getString(2);
res->getString(3);
res->getString(4);
}

Hi,

Tq for your reply.

ACtually, I have one table : log. And it consist 4 fields.. Currently I'm having 20 records..
What I want to do is to have a struct / linked list..

So when I display the data, it will display like
-(field1, field2, field3, field4)

Why bother with a struct/list when you can display the data straight from the record set?

Are you using MFC?

device context vs GDI

wat is the difference between device context and graphics device interface?

See Wikipedia entry[^]

Taken from Above Link:

The Graphics Device Interface (GDI) is a Microsoft Windows application programming interface and core operating system component responsible for representing graphical objects and transmitting them to output devices such as monitors and printers.

GDI is responsible for tasks such as drawing lines and curves, rendering fonts and handling palettes. It is not directly responsible for drawing windows, menus, etc.; that task is reserved for the user subsystem, which resides in user32.dll and is built atop GDI.

A Device Context (DC) is used to define the attributes of text and images that are output to the screen or printer. The actual context is maintained by GDI. An HDC, which is a handle to the structure, is obtained before output is written and released after the elements have been written.

The device context is a GDI-managed structure containing information about the device. GDI contains a number of structures which you cna use to use generate graphical output for display, printers or other devices.
