Malte, First:
put uniEncode(someDataFromFile,"UTF8") into myData set the unicodeText of fld x to myData Then a few possibilities: set the textfont of fld x to "SomeFont,Unicode" (may have some unexpected side-effects) or set the textFont of char 1 to -1 of fld x to "SomeFont,Unicode" (may cause the input method back to English or other unwanted languages) If a field is to be edited, you might want to try set the textFont of fld x to "SomeFont,Cyrillic" because this causes the input method to switch to Cyrillic (if no bugs are encountered). I have just noticed that using non-english methods with password fields indeed causes trouble. Perhaps you need to catch the keyDown message or the rawKeyDown message and do everything manually. It might be useful to have a look at my password field (on my homepage) even though it doesn't work with Cyrillic (yet). -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 New: Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.6 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/ce On 31 mei 2011, at 10:22, Malte Brill wrote: > Hi all, > > for the first time I need to deal with cyrillic input (and reading from text > files) in liveCode.
