Datagrids won't show correctly unicode text

[frullone]

Hi,
I'm currently using LiveCode v6.6.2 and I'm experiencing an issue with datagrids, which appears as a bug, introduced by some recent update in the environment, because with some previous LiveCode version this problem didn't show up.

I'm filling a datagrid with data and using some special characters: ASCII 177,181,247 and 937.
The code I'm using is something like this:

Code: Select all

set the useUnicode to true
 set the unicodeText of the SelectedField to NumToChar(TheActualChar)

The matter is, when ASCII is a number between 0 and 255 it works normally, with ASCII values over 255 my datagrid shows the ascii char when I'm editing a field, and then shows a "?" when I focus out of the field (or it shows directly a question mark when I'm filling the field by code). This behavior was introduced with a recent version of LiveCode, since my older builds seem to work normally. Can you please help me to work it out?

Thanks,
Andrea

Andrea,

I done a test with the Unicode stuff built in the DGH plugin some years ago and I can't replicate the issue with 6.6.2

May I suggest you to download DGH and see if it fixes your problem? The open source DGH trial version can run for free in the LiveCode Community or Commercial version.

Here is a new lesson for creating a datagrid supporting UTF-8 or Unicode by using DGH

Didi you try Livecode 7? It has Unicode support.
