MessageDlg font change - missing text with umlauts
Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2010 11:45 pm
Hi.
My current issue is twofold - I have been trying to test a solution, but can't get it to work. Of course, even if I can implement my idea, it may not solve the issue.
Currently, when using the TsiLang MessageDlg function in CBuilder, the text will not display if it contains an umlaut. The box will have the right dimensions for the text, but the text itself is not there. I tested multiple scenarios to eventually prove that the umlaut is somehow the cause.
Since other issues with umlauts were related to not using a suitable font, I have been trying to change the font displayed in the message boxes, but have not been able to find a good solution.
I read in a previous post that the module should use the same font as the form to display the text in a message dialog, but I have played around with different fonts to no avail.
So, my questions are as follows:
1. Am I right that the font is causing the text to not display when there are umlauts? If not, what else may be causing this issue, and how do I resolve it?
2. How can I change the font used in message dialogs?
I'm looking forward to hearing back about this.
