problem with a RichEdit (wrong codepage? wrong font? or whatever?)


Recommended Posts

Hi, this is a followup from this previous post (https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/192953-regexp-and-ansi-escape-sequences/

I'm trying to make an ANSI file viewer. Some basic functions, even if still with some issues, let me do some early tests.
I use a Rich Edit control as the "blackboard" where to print colored chars coming from the ANSI file (downloaded from the net), and in this "pre alpha" testing, I'm facing on a "basic" problem, that is: the chars are viewed with a wrong code page. I think that should be printed using the 437 codepage, but even trying to convert the string using the way found here (https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/121847-convert-text-string-from-codepage-437-or-850-to-1252/), the result seems even worst.
How can I display correctly the chars from the ANSI file so to produce the image, as the one shown in the InternetExplorer preview picture instead of that with altered chars shown in the rich edit control?
Any idea on the direction to take?
Thanks on advance.

well, just to don't leave this unsolved...
the 'main' issue in this case was due to the fact that if you want to color a text, you have to:
first print the text on the RichEdit (or replace an old text with a new one as in my case here) and then, after the text has been placed,  select the new text and set foreground and background colors as needed.
I was instead doing in "reverse order", that is setting the foreground and background colors for the incoming text, before to place the new text on the richedit, and in this way I got strange results.
Anyway, on the help about the _GUICtrlRichEdit_SetCharColor() function I read: "Sets the background color of selected text or, if none selected, sets the background color of text inserted at the insertion point" and this last part of the sentence  made me think I could set the colors before the text, but doing so was the cause of the problem.

here the modified listings to see the differences
