First : I would like to thank you all guys here for the great work ...

Second : I searched before I ask my question, but nothing helped me .

Last :
I want to display arabic text in the title of the application, but when I apply the Theme of CommandBar the text doesn't appear correctly .

Here is part of the code :

SetWindowText Me.hwnd, strAppTitle

RibbonBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Charset = 178
RibbonBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Name = "Tahoma"
RibbonBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Size = 11

RibbonBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Charset = 178
RibbonBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Name = "Tahoma"
RibbonBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Size = 11

CommandBars1.Options.Font.Charset = 178
CommandBars1.Options.Font.Name = "Tahoma"
CommandBars1.Options.Font.Size = 11

RibbonBar.EnableFrameTheme

I also tried :


CommandBars1.EnableOffice2007FrameHandle Me.hwnd

My version of Commandbar is 10.4.2

Thank you for your advice and reply.

Try to put the commands in this order

Font.Charset = 178 // Arabic
Font.Size = 8
Font.Name = "Tahoma"

After you finish adding all the controls inside the commandbar

Put these three lines in this exact sequence at the end

CommandBars.Options.Font.Charset = 178 // Arabic
CommandBars.Options.Font.Size = 8
CommandBars.Options.Font.Name = "Tahoma"

Hello,

As I wrote font of Title is not same as font of controls in Ribbon, but unfortunatelly font property for title was missed (already added for next release). You can use Unicode version now.

Hi,

I'm not using the unicode version of CommandBar with PowerBuilder 10.5

and Arabic is working fine after putting these three lines in this exact sequence at the end

CommandBars.Options.Font.Charset = 178 // Arabic
CommandBars.Options.Font.Size = 8
CommandBars.Options.Font.Name = "Tahoma"

Tell me if the PowerBuilder sample will be helpful

Hi,

Licensed version already has unicode ActiveX in bin folder. Register them using Registrator tool.

Hello Mah,

I install PB 10.5 and also not using the unicode version of codejock.

I still can't get Arabic to be rendered correctly, I put these lines at a separate script for the command bar, paint manager and tab paint manager:

CommandBars.Options.Font.Charset = 178
CommandBars.Options.Font.Size = 8
CommandBars.Options.Font.Name = "Tahoma"

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Charset = 178
CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Name = "Tahoma"
CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Size = 9

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Charset = 178
CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Name = "Tahoma"
CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Size = 8

I did the same for VB6 and it worked fine, But Pb not Okay,

Do you have any comments

Regards,

Hi Waleed,

Try in this exact sequence:

CommandBars.Options.Font.Charset = 178
CommandBars.Options.Font.Size = 8
CommandBars.Options.Font.Name = "Tahoma"

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Charset = 178
CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Size = 9

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.RibbonPaintManager.CaptionFont.Name = "Tahoma"

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Charset = 178
CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Size = 8

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.TabPaintManager.Font.Name = "Tahoma"

Always make the Font.Name the last line

Good Luck

MAH

Hello Mah,

I think I found the problem.

The sample PB project is migrated from PB8.0.4, and when I convert it to PB10.5 I didn't notice the arabic text inside the script, it was not correct.

I re-type it again correctly, and it works fine now, and you know what

I don't need even to set the font properity.

Try it yourself, remove the script that set the font and test it.

Thanks for your help

Regards,

Waleed

Hi all,

The problem is with powerbuilder, beacuse it is ANSI, untill version 10.5 which is unicode.

VB is unicode also has no problem with Arabic text.

Thanks and best regards
