Hi KC,

I had a similar problem some time ago.
I detected that the reason is an incorrect work of "Update Resource DLLs".
I found a workaround, by setting IsDelphi5 to true always in TntWideStrPropHelper.

I posted it to Troy.
Troy did not accept my workaround considering it as Borland problem, not his.

So, currently I edit any new version published by Troy with my workaround (in the last version in is not setting IsDelphi5=true but commenting out {$IFNDEF COMPILER_6_UP} in TTntWideStringUTFPropertyFiler.ReadDataUTF8 and TTntWideStringUTFPropertyFiler.ReadDataUTF7).

My letter to Troy Wolbrink at 9/5/2002:

Hi Troy,

I consider problems related with my specifics (application locale, different from computer locale) to be
a matter of stories. So, first a story.

I restored all changes I made in your sources, to convert the strings according to my application locale.
Instead, now I intercept Windows functions MultiByteToWideChar, WideCharToMultiByte, CompareStringA,
CompareStringW. If default locale/default codepage required, I substitute my application settings in the
first argument.


And now a thing of (possibly) general interest. TNT has problems with Update Resource DLLs in D6.

The simplest way to get the problem:
Create TntForm. Add language with big Unicode values (i.e., Russian).
Open the Russian form and enter some Russian letters in caption. Save. Look at DFM.
We have, i.e. #1081#1094 in Caption and +BDkERg in Caption_UTF7.
Build, set active language to Russian, run - all OK.

Now Update Resource DLLs.
We have unchanged Caption_UTF7. But Caption contains ??.
Build and Run - we see ?? in the caption.

If I open the form in editor, I see Russian letters at design screen. If I make some fictive change and
save it, DFM is correct again.

My workaround: TntWideStrPropHelper.IsDelphi5=True for all cases.
With it, the incorrect Caption is ignored.


Thank you,
Maris
