Character show UP like this ??????

[vedus]

I try to make a database for my customer simple and clean.
Add record,delete record find record.and i thing that is very easy with LC.
The problem is that the characters show up like this > ?????? < and is greek letters.
The ?????? show up in the textfield buttons and headers of grid.
LC is the commercial last version 6.1

The LC is NO support unicode or i MISS Something?

thank you for the links but none of this answer my question.
question is simple.
every software cocoa.visual basic, simple basic of the year 1980,pascal and every language i know and at last i have play with them is UNICODE.
UNICODE mean you don't make 3-4 lines of code to simple show up a simple word.
Unicode mean you get what you type.
Maybe The RunRev Put A BIG BANNER in the Website that the LiveCode is simple restricted to EnglishLetters and only.
Sorry for my post but i am very frustrate right now because i have pay for something that is no working and if anyone of the RunRev can read Greek lettes can answer this simpe question bellow?
Αυτα που πουλατε ειναι μαλακιες!!

LiveCode is free you don't have to pay for it to see if it works for you.
Unicode is part of the stretch goals of the kickstarter campaign.

We'll get it soon. And don't worry, this isn't the first time this subject has been brought up, it's been around for a long time.

Thank you again simon.
I know is free i have use the community edition but never i have use unicode char in my work for customer.
So i have decide to buy the commercial version to use it for mobile app and some plugins "mobgui,data-grid"working only with the commercial, as i am sure you now that,and now i can do anything about this problem.

i figure out how to change the fill in data of the DataGrid with a line change like bellow

Code: Select all

on FillInData pData
    -- This message is sent when the Data Grid needs to populate
    -- this template with the column data. pData is the value to be displayed.
    set the text of the long ID of me to pData ## temp workaround for
-->  set the unicodetext of the long ID of me to uniencode(pData,"utf8")
end FillInData

can anyone point the right direction to change the headers to?
thank you

Try this:
set the dgProp[ "columns" ] of group "DataGrid 1" to tVar--tVar contains the names each on a separate line
Your array will have to also reflect this change.
