For example it is really pointless converting every tstrings to unicode when some actions to winceapi is required and so on. What dou you mean by converting TStrings. There anren't not tha tmany controls passing TStrings. For TStrings the overhead is indeed high, although O(n). Do you have some ideas how to reduce the overhead? If the TStrings meant here are TMemoStrings, you could imo implement a TCEMemostings which has all text as widestring. The moment an individual line is accessed (usually in the LCL) this line is converted to UTF8. This way you don't have to convert the complete text each time.

I still got the feeling, you think 'AnsiString' can not be UTF-8. More clear: UTF-8 is an 8bit encoding for the whole Unicode set.

About Delphi and newsgroups: Please take a closer look and tell concrete problems. The current unicode problems of the LCL are: - missing bidi in synedit (it has been started, but not finished) - many gtk1 fonts are non unicode fonts - many fonts are limited to a few languages. You have to search for fonts, that support russian, persian, english, japanese, arabic and chinese. - keyboard: This is not an unicode problem, but it relates: synedit does not translate special language keys.

Now I get this error: unit1.pas(200,69) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 3: Got address of procedure(LongInt, LongWord);Register, expected procedure variable type of procedure(LongInt, LongWord) of object;Register It probably expects a method which must be part of a class TSomeClass = class procedure Method1; end; var SomeClass1: TSomeClass; begin SomeClass1.create; // @SomeClass.Method1; --- use this SomeClass1.free; end. This happens when it expects procedure of object as opposed to a plain procedure or function not *of* an object. It is probably expecting this: TObjectProc = procedure(something: tsome) of object; versus a regular method: TRegularProc = procedure(something: tsome); _ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
