displaying umlaut or diacritic in CVI GUI

[craige]

I'm interested in displaying my application in a few different languages and have been playing around with CVI's User Interface Localizer.

CVI accepts è and ü in some instances but does anyone know how to display the following letters?

äÄ åÅ öÖ ëË ñ Ü ß

Thanks,

Craig

Hi craige,

You can use the various alt-codes to accomplish this.  Here is a link to a list of them.  Every one that I have tested works properly within CVI.

Thank you! Alt-codes solved about 99% of my problem. What a blast from the past!

I guess the one thing I would add would be that you must use a keyboard with an actual numeric keypad otherwise alt-codes don't work. The other method I successfully attempted was using a font editor to create my own font which CVI would then map regardless of Unicode support or not.

Thanks again.

i just want to add that, in your start menu, under "all programs/accessories/system tools", you can find an utility called "character map", which let you select one or more character and copy them into the clipboard. for each character, it also displays the Alt+number shortcut, as well as a bunch of infortmation regarding the character code.
