[Rich Edit Object]Returning "?"

[Karzon]

When I type some text in Rich Edit Object, using specific characters, like Polish letters, I can save or load the text with no problems, but when I want to put it in Edit Box or something, using GetText$ Expression, I get questionsigns instead of those characters (ą, ł, ż, ź, ę). Is it an MMF problem, and if so, how should I solve it?

I suppose they are unicode characters. GetText$(...) returns ANSI text and so the characters are lost.

I hear (entirely unoffical) rumours MMF3 might support unicode, so you could hope for that.

Otherwise you could just not use edit boxes.

Jax: MMF3 will most likely have unicode support, Yves said this once. Anyway, btt

Cool!
What advantages do we get with Unicode?

[LIJI]

Support for Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Arabic and Greek characters and other special chars like ☺☻♀♂♠♣♥♦♪♫ in ALL objects, actions, conditions and expressions without unexpected code, hacks or workarounds.

Oh I thought that belonged to one of the ASCII standards.

OK 支持,如果所有菜单包扩所有扩展都能支持中文,我将考率购一份正版软件并在中国传播MMF

Very nice, but MMF3 is not a solution to my problem. I have a string inserted to Rich Edit Object, which I divide using String Parser and String Tokenizer, and I have no idea on how to get Unicode characters with the token. Is there any object (other than Edit Box) which is able to save textfiles and supports Unicode?

BTW, why do I get "?" instead of squares?

[Werbad]

Squares means that the font does not have the characters, ? means that the current charset doesn't support the characters.
