EM_GETLINE And Unicode?

**Rare177** · 07-22-2004

does EM_GETLINE support unicode? if not then is there something simmiliar that supports unicode and if so how come unicode chars are showing as ?'s

Yes.

Firstly, EM_GETLINE does not null terminate the buffer so you have to take care of this. It depends where you are outputting the unicode text after you have retrieved it with EM_GETLINE and font support. In my experience, the console and MessageBox, at least with the default font settings, are not able to render many unicode characters. Edit controls and internet browsers seem to do a much better job.

hmmm it should be working its reading from a rtf control and printing to a rtf control and
#define UNICODE
#define _UNICODE is in there :S

heres the code im using

Code:

	TCHAR JoinText[128] = {0};
	TCHAR RBN[50] = {0};
	TCHAR pbMsg[50] = {0};
	TCHAR teststring[128] = {0};
	int npt = 0;
	int NumLines;


	NumLines = SendMessage(hwndOut , EM_GETLINECOUNT , (WPARAM)0 , (LPARAM)0);
	*((LPINT)JoinText) = sizeof(JoinText);
	npt = SendMessage(hwndOut, EM_GETLINE, (WPARAM)lines-2, (LPARAM)JoinText);
	JoinText[npt] = 0;
	_stprintf(teststring , _T("%s") , JoinText);
	SendMessage(HH , WM_SETTEXT , (WPARAM)0 , (LPARAM)teststring);

and it shows ?s for the unicode

This line:

Code:

	*((LPINT)JoinText) = sizeof(JoinText);

should be:

Code:

	*((LPWORD)JoinText) = sizeof(JoinText) / sizeof(TCHAR); // or use ARRAYSIZE macro

but that isn't causing your problem.

Are you sure that UNICODE and _UNICODE are #defined above all #includes?

You can test if unicode is in effect:

Code:

if (sizeof(_T("x")) != 4 || sizeof(TEXT("x")) != 4)
      MessageBox(NULL, _T("NO Unicode!"), NULL, 0);
else
      MessageBox(NULL, _T("YES Unicode!"), NULL, 0);

its still not working , doing the same thing as before

**Rare177** · 07-23-2004

also yeh unicode is defined above the #includes.

**rHm** · 07-23-2004

Win95, 98 and ME do not support UNICODE in the standard system libraries. NT4 an later is internally based on UNICODE. Maybe you are testing on 9x?

**Rare177** · 07-23-2004

Code:

	TCHAR JoinText[128] = {0};
	TCHAR PBN[50] = {0};
	TCHAR pbMsg[50] = {0};
	TCHAR PBL[128] = {0};




	FILE *pbf;

	int npt = 0;

	int NumLines;

	NumLines = SendMessage(hwndOut , EM_GETLINECOUNT , (WPARAM)0 , (LPARAM)0);
	*((LPWORD)JoinText) = sizeof(JoinText) / sizeof(TCHAR); // or use ARRAYSIZE macro
	npt = SendMessage(hwndOut, EM_GETLINE, (WPARAM)lines-2, (LPARAM)JoinText);
	JoinText[npt] = 0;

thats on windowsXP the unicode is defined above all includes its at the very top.

it shows unicode chars as question marks , ive tried showing it in a messagebox and tried sending it to a RTF control which works with some other parts of the program(sending unicode to a rtf control).
i think its something with the way its reading it?

**Rare177** · 07-24-2004

any one out there this is really important and i cant work it out

**Ken Fitlike** · 07-25-2004

The behaviour seems most unusual. The only thing I can suggest is that you remove the #defines for UNICODE and _UNICODE from any files you've placed them in and pass the defines directly to your compiler itself. This will ensure that they are defined for your whole project. Your compiler documentation should have details on the correct syntax - for example, for gcc:

Code:

-DUNICODE -D_UNICODE

**Rare177** · 07-25-2004

didnt make any difference its still the same

**Rare177** · 07-25-2004

im using lcc-win32 for it and i thought it could be the problem so i tried it in dev-c++ and its still the same

**Ken Fitlike** · 07-25-2004

Could you zip up and attach your dev-cpp project and/or your lcc-win32 code + makefile (if they're not too large) so that we can maybe take a closer look at it?

thats the dev c++ code,
