I presume you are using the MSWindows platform. You should use the FILE* fl_fopen(const char*fname, const char*mode); function after including <FL/Fl.H>. On MSWindows, this function transforms UTF-8 into UTF-16 and then calls _wfopen(). On other platforms, it just calls fopen(). This is not really an issue with filename drag-n-drop. It should occur equally with Fl_File_Chooser and Fl_Native_File_Chooser. I realize the documentation lacks on this important subject. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list fltk@easysw.com http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
