Convertin old programs from ANSI to UNICODE

Post by salamandra »

Hi to all 8-),
I have a lot of programs written in ANSI.
As the new version of HMG is UNICODE, I need to think about the future (UNICODE only ?).
I would ask if it really is necessary to convert the programs to UTF 8 or whether it is enough to convert them to UTF-8 (or UTF-8 without BOM) using notepad + + ?
I use Notepad ++ (or UltraEdit) as program editor and HMG Ide as Form editor.

TIA,

Hi Salamandra.

See this topic:
viewtopic.php?p=31223#p31223

and if you decide to migrate to Unicode you must change some text manipulation functions:
viewtopic.php?p=26698#p26698

viewtopic.php?p=23372#p23372
Best regards.

Hi Dr Claudio 8-) ,
Thank you very much for your help, for pointed me the right direction.
Thinking of the future, migration to Unicode sounds like something almost inescapable (or mandatory) at least
for those who (like me and many others) wants to take advantage of the new (and future) features of HMG.
