TO: Antonio, TGet problem with WinXP Themes for 2 bytes?

[Taiwan]

Hello Antonio,

I sent to you TGet samples and any solution way?

Richard

[Antonio Linares]

Richard,

The solution is to use the Class TEdit that we provided you and then start adding it method by method from Class TGet to locate where TEdit looses the two chars functionality.

The problem is that we can't test it here, so you have to do it there yourself.

[Johnny Yiu]

Antonio,

I am sure you have an extra computer laying around that you can use to test it. To setup the computer to display Chinese and input Chinese all you have to do is set the computer's default language to Traditional Chinese or Simplified Chinese in Control Panel's Regional Options.

[Antonio Linares]

Johnny,

We already tried to use XP with chinese language and it was real difficult.

You may easily modify Class TEdit, add methods to it, test it and locate where the problem comes from.

Anyhow, we may try it again,

i have modified xFWH\..\TGet.prg and xHBR\..\strcase.c for supporting Big5 long time and seems OK, extracted code as following:

John M. S. Chiang

John,

Thanks, I will try it. The only change to your code is to test for GB2313 as well.

Johnny Yiu

[Taiwan]

Hello John,

Sounds good News.
I will try it again.

Regards,

Richard

[Johnny Yiu]

Johnny,

You may easily modify Class TEdit, add methods to it

Antonio,

When you say add methods to TEdit from TGet do you mean just cut and paste the code from tget to tedit? If that is the case it mean most of the code from tget need to be apply to tedit, am I right?

Johnny

[Antonio Linares]

Johnny,

Yes.

We appreciate if yall of ou can test John M. S. Chiang changes and provide feedback about its usability. Thanks.

[Taiwan]

Hello John M. S.

I test your suggestion code.Same problem.

I don't know,but MiniGUI work fine of TEdit component.

Regards,

Richard

[Antonio Linares]

Richard,

As I have explained preivously, it may be needed to add methods from Class TGet to Class TEdit until we locate where the problem comes from.

We are going to try to install here a Chinese Windows, but we even don't know how to type a two keystrokes character. Could you explain it ? thanks.

[Taiwan]

Hello Antonio,

I will send screen shots to you about how to input Chinese and start IMME.

Regards,

Richard

John,

I have problem compiling the above code does it go into tget.prg?

One of the error is:
tget.prg(1623) Error E0030 Syntax error: "parse error at 'ULBIG5_2ND'"

Am I missing include file?

[Johnny Yiu]

Richard,

We are going to try to install here a Chinese Windows, but we even don't know how to type a two keystrokes character. Could you explain it ? thanks.

May be it would be easier just to cut and paste the Chinese words from a text file.

I don't think you want to install Chinese Windows because everything would be in Chinese. You will have a hard time setting it up and running it. The best way is to install an English or Spanish Windows and set its default and system locale to Chinese. That is how I setup my Windows. Yes I can read and write Chinese but I can not understand those Chinese translated technical terms!

[Taiwan]

Hello Johnny,

My friend test John solution not work.

Chinese and Korea or any ASIA have 2 bytes character.
So we need to change TGet and MGet code.
Support 2 bytes for control of key( Left/del/right/backspace.. )
Because default work 1 byte.

Now, We fix TGet/MGet work fine for any Windows OS.
In WinXP, If we have not add Themes style and work fine.
I test MiniGUI and What32 for xHarbour work fine.
Just guess why FWH not work with WinXP themes.
Different MiniGUI/What32 have Standar TEdit/TMaskEdit component
I have easy think them can and FWH should be can.

Just Talk.

Regards,

Richard
