How to set a unicode font(Malayalam) font in RichEdit

[kcvinu]

Hi all,

I am up to change the font of a rich edit control. I need to set an unicode font(Malayalam). But the code doesn't working.

see this.

Global $EditMallu = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create ($FormM2M,"", 520, 37, 489, 417)
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetText ($EditMallu, "]co£Ww")
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetFont ($EditMallu, 14, "MLTTRevathi")
;GUICtrlSetColor($EditMallu, 0x0000FF)
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetEventMask($EditMallu, "EditMalluChange")

Original name of that font is this = "ML-TTRevathi". What is wrong with it ?

Edit - I can't change the font color too.

When you change the font, what isn't working? Also, have you set the LCID parameter to Malayalam? First number is hex, second is Dec.

Malayalam

044c

1100

@BrewManNH See the code in my first post. In line number 2, you can see a strange text in red color. That text is in malayalam. Why it is showing like that because the font in the browser is English font. But i have programatically changed my RTB font to a malayalam font. And then i can;t see the right malayalam letters in RTB. I can only see the text as same as shown in this browser.

Try using the font name MLW-TTREVATHI, the font packs I've found that list it as ML-TTREVATHI actually have the font name with the W in it.

@BrewManNH , No way. Interesting thing to notice. I have another controls in my form. Say a button. I set my button's font to "ML-TTRevathy". It is working. It shows the font properly. So only RichEdit control has the problem. 

 

Edit - Tested with LCID. But no way. 

Second Edit - I have thested it with _GUICtrlRichEdit_GetFont  function. It says the font is "MS Shell Dlg". Why ?

btw.

_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetEventMask($EditMallu, "EditMalluChange")

You are using this function in a wrong way.

The second parameter must bu number.
If you try to add

_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetEventMask($EditMallu, "EditMalluChange")
If @error Then MsgBox(0, '@error', @error)

Then I'm sure you get 102 in MsgBox.

 

 

EDIT:

Try also:

Global $EditMallu = _GUICtrlRichEdit_Create($FormM2M,"", 520, 37, 489, 417)

_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetFont($EditMallu, 14, "MLTTRevathi")
If @error Then MsgBox(0, '_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetFont @error', @error)
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetText($EditMallu, "]co£Ww")
If @error Then MsgBox(0, '_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetText @error', @error)

;GUICtrlSetColor($EditMallu, 0x0000FF)
_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetEventMask($EditMallu, "EditMalluChange")
If @error Then MsgBox(0, '_GUICtrlRichEdit_SetEventMask @error', @error)

 

Did you get additional @error messages ?

@mLipok , No, i don't get any error messages. And you are right. the event mask function is wrong. But That is not my issue.
