Hello,
I am using Microsoft flexgrid control to construct a windows
application, and i use the "Arial" font to display the text and
data.
CMSFlexGrid m_wndGrid;
....
m_wndGrid.SetCellFontName("Arial"); // set the "Arial" font to
display text
and i want to display a title with hebrew characters, and i already
changes the regional setting to hebrew, the charset
is windows-1255. i pass the characters with windows-1255 encoding to
the grid, but i found the grid treated the characters with iso-8859-8
encoding.
Does any one can tell me why the flexgrid chooses iso-8859-8 as the
default encoding but not windows-1255?
1. Microsoft flex grid is a terrible grid control. A much better one is Ultimate
Grid (now open source). But I do not think this is the cause of your problem.
2. You should be using Unicode build, not messing around with code pages.
3. You need a font that is capable of displaying the characters you need. "Arial
Unicode MS" is a font that contains all the Unicode code points for most common
languages.
