CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode read/write UTF-16 problem

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I'm trying to save the layout of the commands bars into a string using PropExchange tool, but, everytime I put a character that is not UTF-8 in the caption of the button, I'm not able to read the string again.

The code is something like this...

CXTPCommandBars *pManager;

<...>

 CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode px(FALSE, 0, _T("Settings"));
 px.SetEncoding( _T("UTF-16") );
 XTP_COMMANDBARS_PROPEXCHANGE_PARAM param;

<...>

 pManager->DoPropExchange(&px, &param);

CString data = px.GetXML(true) );

// data string seems to be ok.

// to read the file 

CXTPPropExchangeXMLNode px(true, 0, _T("Settings"));
 px.SetEncoding( _T("UTF-16") );
 XTP_COMMANDBARS_PROPEXCHANGE_PARAM param;
<...>

 if  (!px.LoadFromString( data )
 {
      fails!!!! because of the non utf8 character in the caption
}

I need to use UTF-16, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Please note that I have a similar code for the DockingManager and it is working fine with non utf8 caractares.

Regards

	Correction! It does not work for DockingManager also. A string like this one "competi��o"( Portuguese word, same as "competition" ) invalidates all the xml.

	No, i'm not using Unicode, but may be I do not need to use utf-16, i really don't know. px.LoadFromString( data ) fails with this string, if i use �� instead of ca. "><Settings CompactMode="1"> <CommandBars> <CommandBar Class="CXTPMenuBar" Type="0" BarID="1" Flags="95" Style="4194304" Title="Menu Bar" MRUWidth="32767" Closeable="0" ResourceId="132"> <Controls> <Control Class="CXTPControlPopup" Type="2" Id="1000" IconId="1000" Tag="181704656" Caption="competi��o" TooltipText="Popup" DescriptionText="Popup" Style="3" CommandBarId="16777216"/> </Controls> </CommandBar> <CommandBar Class="CXTPPopupBar" Type="2" Position="5" BarID="16777216" Style="4194304"/> </CommandBars> <Layout> <DockState Version="32" ScreenSize="1280, 1024" Count="1"> <BarInfo0 BarId="1" MRUWidth="32767"/> </DockState> <DockBars> <DockBar0 Count="3" Id1="1"/> </DockBars> </Layout> <Options Theme="3" Schema="32" AlwaysShowFullMenus="1" ShowFullAfterDelay="1" ToolBarScreenTips="1" ToolBarAccelTips="0" LargeIcons="0" Animation="0" SyncFloatingBars="1" ShowExpandButtonAlways="1" IconsSize="0, 0" LargeIconsSize="0, 0" IconsWithShadow="0" UseDisabledIcons="0" UseFadedIcons="1" DblClickFloat="0" ShowTextBelowIcons="0" AltDragCustomization="1" AutoHideUnusedPopups="1" PopupIconsSize="0, 0" KeyboardCuesUse="1" KeyboardCuesShow="0" Customizable="0"/> </Settings>

	Hi, Whithout Unicode you can't use Utf-16. Utf-8 will work for you, but in this case you have to write/read directly to file. instead GetXML use SaveToFile. also try insead px.LoadFromString( data ) write px.LoadFromString( _bstr_t(data ))

	Hi, I cannot read/write to a file, I'm using a huge configuration file to write all my presentation stuff, not only codejock stuff, but also adhoc and other libs, it would be very complicated if I had a file for each one of the commandbars and dockingmanagers from xtp. Is there any other way I can make LoadFromString to work ? Regards

	Did you try px.LoadFromString( _bstr_t(data )) ?
