Checkboxes and PageControls
Posted: Tue May 31, 2011 8:11 pm
I've got a Delphi 5 application working fairly well with translations in Spanish, Russian, and Chinese showing up with the right character set for most of the controls on the form. Labels and buttons work great, but CheckBoxes and the tabs of PageControls simply show garbage when using character sets other than the default. I've also noticed the TitleBar's caption does the same thing. I've hidden the TitleBar and placed my own top-aligned label to replace it.
My installation of Windows 7 does not have any language packs installed other than English and I'm wondering if these controls would show up just fine on a system with the native character sets for these other languages.
Right now, I've hidden the tabs of the PageControl and placed Buttons on a panel which switches the pages to take care of one problem, and am placing labels next to the CheckBoxes with their text cleared to take care of the other.
Have I gone to too much work? Or do these controls behave differently? I even tried manually setting the caption and character set of these controls but that didn't help.
Thanks,
