Special chars

[Douglas McDonald]

I'm trying to use an Ohm / omega char in a caption. I've selected it from an non-unicode character set but it still doesn't show up correctly. Most of the time its a 0 or ?. What am I doing wrong?

BTW with PB10 and maybe FF4 with full unicode support?

Thanks
Doug

Nothing definite, but I seem to recall having a similar problem a (long!) time ago...

I think I had to switch between ANSI and OEM character sets... There are API calls to do that; search your SDK documentation.

Thanks, I'll try it some more.

If it is caption of a control like, label, button, option, checkbox, frame then change the Font to Symbol and the capital letter W is the omega.

You may not be able to mix different Font sets in the same caption.

This will not work for the caption of a Form unless you can use the API to change the Font.
