Let me be more specific, I am talking about entering keyboard strokes to a text field created by Ivib. The characters are simply not registered. from the keyboard. Changing input locals doesn't help. Using Alt-strokes doesn't help. Charmap is useless because they are no enabled editing functions in the text field (another problem) so you can't copy and paste to or from it. Strangely I can get characters into the text field with a command like
spelling$set_contents("aieou\xed\xe9\xfa\xf3\xe0\xf2\xe8\xe4\xeb\xef\xf6\xfc")
(the text field is called "spelling")
and I can then access the contents of the field with "spelling$get_contents()". Everything displays perfectly. But I can't enter these characters directly from the keyboard no matter what trick I try. aarrrgggghh. Surely this is a severe limitation of the Unicon graphical environment.
More info:
Accents behave strangely in the Ui environment as well. If you try the following program from Ui
procedure main()
while form := read() do {
write(form)
if form == "end" then
break
}
end
Suppose you enter "Fran�a"
you will see "Frana"
but the form produced by the write(form) statement will show
"Fran�a". So the keystroke is registered but not displayed.
There is a workaround. I could have the user type the input into a non-graphical window and then use set_contents to copy the input into the text field but really.... do I have to do that? Is there no fix?
Thanks again,
Jonathan
