LabVIEW
Caption.Text in a Chinese or Vietnamese
Solved!
I do have these 2 lines in Labview.ini:
UseUnicode=TRUE
SuperSecretPrivateSpecialStuff=TRUE
My main interest is changing the Caption (not the string value, but I update string value here as well just to show you all my problem):
If TXT1 is set to Vietnamese, then the String Value shows correctly, but not the caption. However, when set to English, the string value is supposed to reads "Faulty Trigger ..." but it is displaying weird characters.
For TXT2, if I set Vietnamese, both the Value and the Caption read wrong. Supposed to be "Ngưỡng phát hiện lỗi đầu đo"
The property "Force Unicode Text" only affects keyboard entry,
Displayed text is affected by the text property "Interpret as Unicode". This property is like font attributes in that it can be different for different characters in the string. When writing to that property it only affects the selected text.
Executing the following one time will set the caption to always interpret data as UTF-16 LE.
Thank you Paul,
Solution works.
Now I have 2 new problems:
1) Caption 1 is actually in SETUP tab. Text 2 actually in FEATURE tab. When I change box 3 in Advance tab, the caption 1 and text 2 will be temporarily overlapping ugly like this. I had to click on any other tab, then come back to ADVANCE tab, then the overlapping would disappear.
2) Text 2 is not displaying the right Vietnamese (I do use InterpAsUnicode). I had to create a blank option on Box 3 to select (to blank out all the captions, and use same setting for InterpAsUnicode) then go back to Box 3 to Select Vietnam, in order for text 2 to display in the right Vietnamese language. Why?
on problem 1: if I don't switch to different tab, and keep changing to different options on box 3, then all the captions and texts will eventually overlapping like this:

I suspect that all your problems are due to InterpAsUnicode not begin applied to all the characters.
Doing this, one time, before sending any text to the caption, should have worked:
But another technique is to do this:
Thank you. Problem #2 solved (using your suggestion to use Selection.End=9999).
However, problem #1 still exists (the captions keep appearing temporarily on the wrong tab) if I start the VI on "Page 2" tab. It appears if I start the VI on "Page 1" tab, then it's OK. Attached here is a simple VI.
Need help again with this topic. Really appreciate all your help.
I use reference to string indicators (in an array) so that I can use the same property across multiple labview VI. I even added InterpAsUnicode twice. English, German, French (with F=InterpAsUnicode) are all good. Chinese and Vietnamese are displaying incorrectly (T = InterpAsUnicode).
It is noted that each of my value is assembled by Concatenate, with the component value is dependent on other conditions.
For example, English would be:
V2
loose
SEVERE
and it would display correctly as V2 loose SEVERE
Chinese would be:
V2
松动
严重
so I expect the result to be: V2 松动 严重
but the result shows up as: ㉖縠ꡧ⁒严重
which only the last part is correct.
