XML resource can't display µ correctly
David Epping
in my application I have to display the character 'ต', one tme it is a
string in my C++ code, one time it is a string in a static text in an
XML resoure.
the later is not displayed correctly, it is shown as 'ยต', the first
one works perfectly.
Is there something wrong with the encoding thing? how can I change it
in wxDesigner.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15"?>

Because it's supposed to be used as gettext key for translation and
since you're using ANSI build of wxWindows, it is left in UTF-8 for
better matching. There are three ways around it:
0) Use Unicode build.
1) If you don't use wxLocale for translations, don't set
wxXRC_USE_LOCALE flag at all.
2) Try this patch (not yet tested):
http://www.volny.cz/v.slavik/wx/wx-xrc-notrans.patch
For this to work, you'll have to change
<label>This is µBurner 0.1 !</label>
to
<label translate="0">This is µBurner 0.1 !</label>
I'd be grateful for testing of this patch...
Thanks,
Vaclav

Thanks for your help. the problem is, that I am using MinGW with
allready compiled lib's, so the first and last tip won't work for me,
and I can't find the wxXRC_USE_LOCALE flag in no headerfile
(setup.h?). seem's as if I have to build wxWindows myself to get this
fixed.
Thanks anyway,
David

If you're not willing to compile the library, then I indeed can't help
you.

Your not looking for it hard enough, it's in xmlres.h.

On what platform does that happen (Windows95?, XP?, GTK2?).
