polish special characters (extended ASCII)

[TiTou]

Hello,

I'm devolpping a soft for a customer that have factories in many countries in Europ (including Poland) so I have to make it multi-lingual.

I 'm using a text file for each language, the issue is that LabVIEW 7.1.1 seems not to be able to display some strange polish letters such as : ł ę ń ć ś ż...

The result I get in LabVIEW's front panel depends on the encoding type of the text file (ANSI, UNICODE, UNICODE Big Endian, UTF8...).
ANSI encoding defenitly doesn't support ISO/unicode characters, but when I open the Unicode encoded text file with notepad the display is correct while LabVIEW display "?" or "
" instead of above mentioned characters.
I went through the web to grab some informations and found that these polish letters are supported as ISO/unicode characters (eg : hexa code for "ę" is "0x0119"

Can LabVIEW be configured to support ISO/unicode characters ?


My PC is running WinXP+SP2, LabVIEW 7.1.1

Thanks in advance for your help

I don't think the built in control can help you, but there was a recent thread about using the Windows "rich textbox" ActiveX control to do stuff that a LV text control doesn't support. Perhaps that would be a solution for you as well?

See the attached very simple example. The control can display the characters, but it might be a mess getting them into the display...
