Create manual notes with special character, example "é"

MEME

Hi,

When I create manual notes (It is OK), but in screen notes RTC (the character "é" is not interpreted correctly to display) ;


CLEAR(RecGRecordLink);
RecRefG.GETTABLE(Rec);
RecGRecordLink."Link ID" := 0;
RecGRecordLink."Record ID" := RecRefG.RECORDID;
RecGRecordLink.Type := RecGRecordLink.Type::Note;

TxtGNotes := 'Bloqué';
CharGLen := STRLEN(TxtGNotes);
TxtGNotes := FORMAT(CharGLen) + TxtGNotes;

RecGRecordLink.Note.CREATEOUTSTREAM(OutGNotes);
OutGNotes.WRITETEXT(TxtGNotes);

RecGRecordLink.Created := CURRENTDATETIME;
RecGRecordLink."User ID" := USERID;
RecGRecordLink.Company := COMPANYNAME;
RecGRecordLink.INSERT(TRUE);


Thanks for your answers.

Try it in different way. Write the text in RTC and try to read it in code. Look how it is created and try to understand it... it looks like you need to do some conversion...

Hi,

thank you.

I do it, and i replace "é" in my text by result of insert manuel from RTC.

And it is OK.

I suppose I've always wondered why Navision A/S thought using the OEM character set was a good idea for a windows application. Anyone know ? K?

Because all was based on DOS version? ;-) (backward compatibility is something what makes the development slower)

rdebath

That would be my guess, but I think it would have had to be a really messy upgrade to make it better there than at the database interface (where eg MS-SQL does it).

I really don't understand why MS have done the same thing in the 2009 update though.

kine

Because same thing.... backward compatibility... until Native DB is discontinued, you cannot change much... ;-)

Yes, that'll be the excuse. Of course, this time round they could have fixed the character sets but ... oh what's the use. Sometimes I just wish Microsoft actually cared about more than money.

If you have read the statement of direction, you know when the correct point for changing this will be... ;-) it is just behind doors... 8)
