Copy & Paste UNICODE text

Post by nokl »

I have entered some UNICODE characters (japanese text, e.g. 山本和彦) into the TRichView control.
When i copy some snippets with japanese text from TRichView into the clipboard (ctrl+insert) and then paste it into another UNICODE-able editor, I only get some boring ???? (questionmarks). No unicode is copied.
What am I doing wrong?

To support Unicode completely, some changes must be made in values of properties, especially if you use Delphi version prior to 2009.

Hi,

I have checked the TRichView settings regarding to your link.
TRichViewEdit properties:

- RTFReadProperties:
CharSetForUnicode = DEFAULT_CHARSET
UnicodeMode = rvruOnlyUnicode
UseCharSetForUnicode = true

- TextStyles[0]:
CharSet = DEFAULT_CHARSET
Unicode = true

TRichView does already support UNICODE strings (e.g. chinese text).

If you copy chinese text inside the TRichview control from one position to another , it works.

But if you copy these chinese characters from TRichView to another UNICODE editor then only ?????? appears.

What OS do you use?
Does the same thing happen when you copy to Notepad?
Do you have rvoAutoCopyUnicodeText included in RichViewEdit.Options?

I was having this problem as well. Glad I was able to find it in the support forum.

Maybe now that Unicode is becoming the standard, the default for rvoAutoCopyUnicodeText should be true.

It was made default for Delphi 2009/2010/XE.
