So, I am confused about the text manager. Each PalmOS device supports
its localized character encoding. But how do you force a PalmOS
device which supports a certain character encoding to use another??
I am having trouble displaying some characters in German. The PDB
file seems to be correctly storing the characters.
Specifically, I use this function to grab text out of a record, and
put it into a field
If I dig into the pdb file, the record seems to have the correct
character. But, when it displays in the filed, it does not.
Anyone know what's going on??
static void setText(FieldPtr field, Char* text)
{
MemHandle hfield = FldGetTextHandle(field);
Char* pfield;
if(hfield != NULL)
{
MemHandleResize(hfield, StrLen(text) + 1);
}else{
hfield = MemHandleNew(StrLen(text) +1);
}
pfield = MemHandleLock(hfield);
StrCopy(pfield, text);
MemHandleUnlock(hfield);
FldSetTextHandle(field, hfield);
FldDrawField(field);
return;
}
