German Umlaute (ÄÖÜäöüß)

[sherlogg]

Hello,

i don't know, if this is the right area of the forum for my problem.

I've tried to create a menu with German special characters named Umlaute (ÄÜÖäüöß), but i've got a strange output. I don't know how easy it is, to change something like OEM or ANSI.

I use SET CODEPAGE TO GERMAN and SET LANGUAGE TO GERMAN, but it don't work.

Just for clarification: i'm a Harbour starter

Cheers, Dieter

set codepage to german is translated to:
#xtranslate SET CODEPAGE TO GERMAN => REQUEST HB_CODEPAGE_DEWIN ; hb_setcodepage("DEWIN")

so, it should be enough...
I've added to my app this and tested and umlaute's are displayed OK.

Hi Marek,

thanks for your help. I've got it by myself. I've used a editor with the WRONG charset. After using another editor, it workes fine!

Hi Marek, found your suggestion, works well, thank you.
