HMG controls and ANSI / UTF8 strings

Hi
Code: Select all
frmRectText.ebxText.Value := cInpText
MsgDebug( HMG_IsUTF8( cInpText ), HMG_IsUTF8(frmRectText.ebxText.Value ) ) // .F., .T:
It seems HMG controls automatically convert strings ANSI to Unicode
If so, this behavior seem is not convenient to me
Code: Select all
IF !HMG_IsUTF8( cInpText )
cInpText := HMG_ANSI_TO_UNICODE( cInpText )
ENDIF
I don't like do frequently this (and converse) in prgs.
My string are not always uniform in format, sometime ANSI, sometime Unicode.
So SETtingCODEPAGE TO <one or auther> is not convenient for me. Because of this, working with IDE ANSI too don't solves my problem
Does may be a possibility that HMG controls treats strings as-is basis; if ANSI, ANSI, if Unicode, Unicode
(like modern text editors)
TIA

See in source/debugger/dbgGUI.prg the function Load PRG.

If you are about this (line 1335-1339)
Code: Select all
IF HMG_IsCurrentCodePageUnicode() == .T. .AND. HMG_IsUTF8( aLineCode [i] ) == .F.
aLineCode [i] := HMG_ANSI_TO_UNICODE( aLineCode [i], NIL )
ELSEIF HMG_IsCurrentCodePageUnicode() == .F. .AND. HMG_IsUTF8( aLineCode [i] ) == .T.
aLineCode [i] := hb_UTF8ToStr( aLineCode [i], NIL )
ENDIF
I couldn't explain my problem right; I don't want to repeat this code snap in every string operation.
I hope HMG controls can do this (again, like modern text editors).
Anyway thank to interest.

Introduce an internal function in each control that automatically convert an ANSI string to Unicode is possible but this change the standard behavior of Windows APIs.

Sorry, this sentence isn't correct
It should be :
It seems HMG controls automatically pretends ANSI strings as Unicode
Of course this occurs when compiling Unicode; ANSI compiling (fe via IDE_ANSI) Unicode strings treads as ANSI
If so, this behavior is worse to me
I don't want a compiler (or library) don't change my string's format.
Probably this isn't so facile, and is simply my personal approach.
FYI only.
TIA
