VB Forum / General 2 / March 2008charset in VB6
Hallo, my Problem is this, I meed to schow the character "Ω" at a label in my program in VB 6. Everytime I get the character "?" (at designtime and also at runtime). I think I must the program (or the label) tell to use the charset ... but I do'nt know: "where" and "whitch" charset. Who can help me? thank you Uwe Uwe Gutsche <uwe.gutsche@tu-dresden.de>'s wild thoughts were released on Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:20:01 +0100 bearing the following fruit: >Hallo, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] >but I do'nt know: "where" and "whitch" charset. >Who can help me? You need to tell us the name of the character you are trying to produce. As you can see from your post, you've simply posted a question mark in both cases. -- Jan Hyde https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Jan.Hyde > Uwe Gutsche <uwe.gutsche@tu-dresden.de>'s wild thoughts were > released on Fri, 28 Mar 2008 11:20:01 +0100 bearing the [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Jan.Hyde When I read his post I see an 'a' with ^ over it a " on the baseline and a | displayed between "". I use Netscape 4.8 to read newsgroups with the character set Western (ISO-8859-1). When I use character map of Arial it is U+00E2 latin Small letter A with Circumflex > When I read his post I see an 'a' with ^ over it a " on the > baseline and a | displayed between "".

In Uwe's original post (viewed in UTF-8, as he posted it) I saw an "Ohm" symbol (capital Greek Omega). I'll bet that's what he wants. -- Jim Mack MicroDexterity Inc www.microdexterity.com Jim Mack schrieb: > > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Taht's right! at the first time I want to transmit my mail-client told me "there ist a non prinable character". After this I switched to UTF-8 and the massage was transmitted. I need the capital Greek Omega, the "Ohm" symbol for the mesurement unit of a resistor.

Yep. That's what I see. Personally if I ever get involved in showing specific symbols and if I want to be absolutely sure the user sees what I see I think I'd go back to the old Commodore 64 days and draw my own character and assign it to a standard character code ;-) Seriously though, I think there is possibly some merit in using a font editing program to edit a standard TT font so that it contains specific shapes at specific standard (and otherwise unused in your own program) locations and then adding code to temporarily install the font on the user's machine. Mike The "?" character is likely in the unicode character set. VB labels don't support unicode. You can try searching the internets for free VB unicode controls. Here's something over at PlanetSourceCode. I haven't tried this one, so I can't attest... http://www.planetsourcecode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=69738&lngW Id=1 > Hallo, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > thank you > Uwe Thank you...
