display special characters under Vista

004

Hi out there,

when copying a cell content from Excel 2003, Nav5 creates special characters for blank and line break. On XP systems the user was able to remove them. But on Vista the are not displayed, so the user will not remove them by hand. I attached screenshost from both systems.

Does anybody know how to display the special characters under Vista, too?

Regards,

mhm, will these characters are displayed if you change the windows style (desktop -> properties -> 4. Tab (Darstellung) -> first Drop Down -> Windows classic?

No, style does not matter.

just out of curiosity what does it look like when you

start->Run->clipbrd

are the spaces visible and editable in the clipboard before pasting?

I also noticed that if I paste from the web into a field I get the two boxes (carriage returns)
But if I use waldopad the same data is pasted into the field without the boxes.
waldopad must be deleting/removing the carriage returns before entering the data.

perhaps this part of the code - but waldo will have the final word on how it was done i hope

GetItemText(pcodItemNo : Code[20])
// This function gets the text from the table, and puts it in the text-property of WaldoNavPad
char13 := 13;
char10 := 10;
CLEAR(lrecItemText);
lrecItemText.SETRANGE("Item No.", pcodItemNo);
IF lrecItemText.FIND('-') THEN BEGIN
  REPEAT
    WaldoNavPad.AppendText(lrecItemText.Textline);
    CASE lrecItemText.Seperator OF
      lrecItemText.Seperator::Space:
              WaldoNavPad.AppendText(' ');
      lrecItemText.Seperator::"Carriage Return":
        WaldoNavPad.AppendText(FORMAT(char13) + FORMAT(char10));
    END;
  UNTIL lrecItemText.NEXT = 0;
END
ELSE BEGIN
  WaldoNavPad.Text := '';
END;

So perhaps a bit of code on the field would eliminate the extra charaters for you without the need for user intervention [-o<
