Some suggestions.....

A. When reading the values from the files, replace "\n" with a newline and "\t" with a tab. When writing text to the file, do the opposite.

B. Find a way to show the comments for each setting?

C. It doesn't seem to work with Hebrew. All the Hebrew letters are replaced with question marks, like this:

BadHook2=??? ?????????? ?? ?????? ???? ????.


I am using Windows XP. I know that this problem happens when I try to enter Unicode text into a non-Unicode field, such as mIRC's windows.

Thnx Leif ! But the URL is actually ..../mscomctl.zip

EDIT: This Windows sure is crappy... Now he's looking for Richtx32.ocx.

Well, Choli, good news and bad news.
The good is the Chinese words are showed correctly, and while typing Chinese words, it has no problem.
The bad is...After I click on save, the save operation performs wrong. Instead of the correct Chinese words, it writes two bytes of ANSI Code(like ¸Õ ) for one Chinese word.

If you have questions about this just ask me...

---

mmm.... interesting...
Mnjul (and anyone who has similar problems) please, sendme a short text file with the 2 bytes ansi and the chinese word. also please run the program with any argument (goto start > run, type cmd and then CD to the directory and execute msgplustrans.exe any_argument), type some Chinese words and send me the text that apears in the textbox where is usually the english translation)

you can write something like:
your program writes ¸Õ but it should be 安
the rtf code is {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial Unicode MS;}}
\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang3082\f0\fs18\u23433?
\par }

[Edit]
Where i wrote if should be ... put your chinese word, not the code (i think these forums doesn't allow me to put that chinese words)
[/edit]

Please, save that text file in unicode (like the Lang_*.ini files are) and send it to me via PM, via mail or posting it here. Thanks.

A. -> Ok, i'll try to implement that, and also the underlined -> &
B. -> That's a bit more complex because the way I use to read the files is using a Windows API that skips the comments. Anyway, i'll also try.
C. -> Hebrew is a right-to-left language, isn't it? Please, sock, do the same as i told Mnjul, and also try writing some text in Word and copy-paste to my program and send it too. A little image showing what shows my program and what shows word (as it should be) is also wellcomed.

If you can't find it, PM me or email me and I'll send it to you

OK Choli...I'll do it after my dinner..it's 7:40 pm here and i just stopped myself from studying

[edit]And Choli, if you want to get Chinese words shown here, you may have to change your browser encode to Traditional Chinese(Big-5) first...[/edit]

As a reply on my question

Cholli I just tested it, and it looks like its working...

OK Choli, I send my file to you...

Okay, last time I created a new target file and it wasn't Unicode.

This time I used a Unicode file, so I'm not getting question marks now, but now I am getting the same weird characters as Mnjul. This only happens when I save some value, the specific value is saved as those characters. It looks as if you are trying to put ASCII into Unicode, without converting it to Unicode first. Weird stuff.

Also, when I change the editbox to right-align mode, it doesn't look like it should (like it does in Notepad or Word). And then when I move to another value, it asks me if I want to save the value, but I only changed the text alignment, I didn't edit the text!

Being a software developer sucks, eh?

Hmmm your program has Windows' about box?

I've got a new version that i'd like to send to you so you can test it. I sent it to Mnjul but still don't know if it works (Mnjul, did you recieve my emails? i'm not sure if i send them to the right address)So, sock, can I send that version to you? If you allow me (i don't want spam people emails), send me you address via PM. Thanks.

How do you do that? And note that every time the editbox (richtextbox, in fact) is changed (change event) my program assumes that a text modification has been done.

Well, I'm studing for that. It can be a posible future to me.

Why not? The ShellAbout API is a very nice one

I've replied your mail, Choli. Bad news...
