Unicode input - EmbeddedWB

Mode · 05-14-2009, 11:52 AM

Hello,

I have been using your components for a long time and I first want to say thank you for a great set of components and for your efforts to keep it up to date and supported.

I recently started work on a multilingual project that required data entry into a web page in different languages. I have used tembeddedwb (v14.67.8) to open the web page and add the input but I noticed that when i change the keyboard to a different language, the characters show up as question marks

?. I have replaced the form with ttntform and although it works properly with twebbrowser, it still doesn't work with tembeddedwb. I am using D7Ent on Vista.

Is this a bug or a limitation in the current version? Is there a way to workaround it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Load up a demo so we can try it out.

Please find attached.

I have to clarify something. Embeddedwb works fine with some languages,
but for some others like the one it loads when you click the "Quick .." button, it displays question marks while it works fine in twebbrowser.

The language it loads in Quick.. is called Divehi. Unicode identifier 0x465. From what I have seen, it doesn't work for languages that are unicode specific that don't have a default code page like Divehi, Hindi, Georgian or Armenian. Please refer to default code page column on this list http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa912040.aspx

Let me know if you would like more information.

Hello

I have already fixed this issue two weeks ago (for internal v14.67.9)
You can fix it in 14.67.8 by replacing SetWindowLong with SetWindowLongW.

That was fast. Wasn't it?

Sir,

I am new to this component. I tried installing with three packages:

EmbeddedWB_D5-D2009_Version_14.67.8.rar
EmbeddedWB_D5-D2009_Version_14.67.9.zip
EmbeddedWB_D5-XE_Version_14.70.0.zip

I am using Delphi 2009, and I am loading the HTML from a TStringList.

Sadly, it does not show Unicode Text. It shows ? instead.

English text is shown correctly and even before adding the text to the StringList I examined the strings to be Unicode.

Are there any prerequisites or DEFINES to be made?

Thanks,
TaZ
