Re: Crossplatform EURO sign?
Ugh!
If I put:
put baseConvert("20AC",16,10)
in the message box it obliges.
if I put:
on mouseUp
put baseConvert("20AC",16,10) into fld "fDEC"
end mouseUp
in a button
it also obliges.
BUT, if I put:
on mouseUp
put quote & fld "fHEX" & quote into FHEX
put baseConvert(FHEX,16,10) into fld "fDEC"
end mouseUp
where fld "fHEX" contains 20Ac (or any other Hexadecimal number)
it screws up and I get 133824
POO!

Hi all,
any hint on how to handle crossplatform EURO signs?
I mean the euro sign is unfortunately NOT translated
isotomac/mactoiso, so how do you handle user input of this

Not to mention of ERUO signs in label fields, when you do not
want to loop over all fields and place the appropriate signs
on "pre-/openstack".
Any hints heavily appreciated, inm the meantime we use "EUR" ;-)

Re: Crossplatform EURO sign?
I have a problem with baseConvert:
on doing this:
put baseConvert(8364,10,16)
I get 20AC
which is lovely.
when I do this:
put baseConvert("20AC",16,10)
I get 133824
which is NOT lovely.
Ideas, psychological guidance, . . . ?

Re: Crossplatform EURO sign?
Slightly parenthetically, but, about 34 years ago a wonderful Maths teacher, one "Bonehead" Barker, taught me how to count, add, subtract, divide and multiply in hex; needless to say, I cannot remember anything of it; more's the pity. However, I did discover that the Calculator.app on Mac can 'flip' from the boring, vanilla, pocket calculator simulcrum into something altogether a lot more sexy: Command-3 gives you a 'scientific calculator' (never could quite understand what the 'sciemtific' meant in that context); and, Yippee-Doo, a way to go back and forth between Decimal and Hex numbers (and Octal and Binary, if you are having a really heavy day), and, wonder-of-wonders, it will, magically reveal which unicode character that Hex number is linked to. And, while I'm on a roll, I am currently 'pushing' my tinies, in my school, through some relatively punishing exams; and having lots of sadistic fun by making them work out their own percentage results with a slide-rule. Depressingly enough, they all enjoy using slide-rules and have started asking me where they can buy them. . . . . I suppose it could be quite fun to run up a Revolution stack to convert between Hex and Decimal.

Re: Crossplatform EURO sign?
Klaus, want to do a cheap trick? create a little euro sign png or jpeg and use the imagesource of char something to put it inside a field, or use the htmltext with something like and there you'll have your EURO icon inside a field and no need to fiddle with fonts! :D On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 10:15 AM, kl...@major.on-rev.com < kl...@major.on-rev.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > any hint on how to handle crossplatform EURO signs? > I mean the euro sign is unfortunately NOT translated > isotomac/mactoiso, so how do you handle user input of this > (and other) character(s) in your crossplatform apps/stacks/databases? > > Not to mention of ERUO signs in label fields, when you do not > want to loop over all fields and place the appropriate signs > on "pre-/openstack". > > Any hints heavily appreciated, inm the meantime we use "EUR" ;-) > > > Best > > Klaus > -- > Klaus Major > http://www.major.on-rev.com > kl...@major.on-rev.com > > > > ___ > use-revolution mailing list > use-revolution@lists.runrev.com > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your > subscription preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution > -- http://www.andregarzia.com All We Do Is Code. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Crossplatform EURO sign?
According to the documentation Bitstream Vera is a unicode font, but your added code didn't "bite".

That leaves us with unicode. The code point for the Euro sign is hex 0x20AC, which is decimal 8364. Usually you get reliable results by using unicode escape entities in htmlText, but again htmlText fails us, because this doesn't work: set the htmlText of fld 1 to "€" The only reliable way I can see is UTF-8.
