Hello guys Smile,

I don't know if it's the right place to post it. If it's not, forgive me Confused.

We used ActiveX Suite Pro 12.0.2 to create our app' and we still use it.
We would like to upgrade to a newer version, that's why I downloaded the latest one : Suite Pro for ActiveX Trial 17.3.0
I tested it in our app and I noticed that markup (in the TreeView object for example) doesn't allow accents (é, è, à, etc) and some other characters (it worked with the activated version (12.0.2)).
Is this a bug or just because of the Suite Pro for ActiveX Trial ?
Thanks for your answers.

Some informations : VB6 - W7 32 Bits

Best regards,

yt-def

Yes, I also noticed  change in the latest versions, which broke my markup when using non-ASCII characters, accents, symbols etc. However I could fix this by using the XML name or Unicode number, please see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references.

I confirm that this is a BUG introduced by 17.0.0 version (up to 16.4.0 no problem).

@cpede
Obviously it is impossible to predict an instant translation of all the strange characters used in each language. Confused

Thanks for your answer cpede Smile. I tested the 16.3.1 Evaluation version and indeed there's no problem.
Anyone from Codejock is able to tell me if a fix will be released soon ?

Any fix to this problem. We can't release software with v17.3.0 since e.g. the pinned recent file list can't show the names of the files when they include non ASCII characters.

There is no problem in Markup in 17.3.0, most likely you have your markup saved incorrectly. Prior to 17.0 Markup used a custom implemented XML parser that allowed improperly saved XML to be used in an application like a valid one. Introducing the standard parser in 17.0 fixed the root problem but made some legacy XAML incompatible.

I have added French accent symbols to Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX v17.3.0\Samples\Common\VB\MarkupPad\Markups\Welcome.xaml and opened it in MarkupPad VB sample, here is the screenshot:


So, as a solution, please make sure you use a proper XML/XAML editor and use save a file as UTF-8 and to make sure specify this in XML header as:
<?xml encoding="utf-8" ?>

OK, but how do we do this run-time without a file to encode?

Typically I use a MFC CString to generate and set the Markup text.

Does it require that I run Unicode or wide-character for the markup text?

Sorry, but You are wrong. Ouch

I don't use any saved XML/XAML.
I use simply only code. Example, I have a function which return a markup string:

Public Function GetMarkup(ByVal pString As String, Optional ByVal pColor As String = "Gold", Optional ByVal pFontSize As Long = 13) As String
    Dim pMessage As String
    If pString = vbNullString Then Exit Function
    
    pMessage = pString
    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "<b>", "<Bold>")
    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "</b>", "</Bold>")

    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "<u>", "<Underline>")
    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "</u>", "</Underline>")
    
    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "<i>", "<Italic>")
    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "</i>", "</Italic>")
    
    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "<h>", "<Hyperlink>")
    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "</h>", "</Hyperlink>")
    
    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "<c>", "<Run Background='" & pColor & "'>")
    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "</c>", "</Run>")
    
    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "<r>", "<Run Foreground='Red'>")
    pMessage = Replace(pMessage, "</r>", "</Run>")
    
   ' and so on ...

    GetMarkup = "<TextBlock FontFamily='Segoe UI' FontSize='" & pFontSize & "' HorizontalAlignment='Left'>" & pMessage & "</TextBlock>"
End Function

As you can see, i don't use something like:  <?xml encoding="utf-8" ?>

Prior to v.17.0.0 all worked fine, with any chars.
After v. 17.0.0 all chars with accents will made a wrong markup string. 

Example, the next statement (with accents):
GetMarkup("è ora di andare giù")
used in a TaskDialog, become:
<TextBlock FontFamily='Segoe UI' FontSize='13' HorizontalAlignment='Left'>è ora di andare giù</TextBlock>

and produce the wrong results:

While, when I remove accents from phrase:
GetMarkup("e' ora di andare giu'")
produce the correct results:


I haven't changed nothing, only Codejock version has changed. LOL

Please, solve because my language (italian) use a lot of accents.

CJ 17 became more strict in terms of XAML parsing and some broken XAML which was tolerated in earlier versions no longer renders.

If you don't have an <xml ....> tag, then you don't have XAML, why don't you try adding one.  You could use markup pad to see what you need to have in there in order to be valid XAML.

So I'm right.  
It's Codejock that has changed method. 

However, in all Codejock *.xaml samples the string:
<?xml encoding="utf-8" ?>
is missing. LOL

I've tried to add it on my function, but the result is wrong.
Show me how to add the above xml tag, please.

Thank.

OK, now I tested my own theory. Looking at the MarkupPad code, it can be seen that it actually converts the text to unicode before parsing. If I make the following change in the code for my overwritten class CDXXTMarkupStatic : public CStatic, public CXTPMarkupContext it works
m_pUIElement = Parse(T2CW(pszMarkup));
//m_pUIElement = Parse(pszMarkup);
So, somehow the parser has changed?

Also notice that XTToolkit has two versions of Parse:
CXTPMarkupUIElement* Parse(LPCSTR lpszBuffer);
CXTPMarkupUIElement* Parse(LPCWSTR lpszBuffer);
