Hi everybody! I have to write applications where users can enter data as well in latin letters as in greek letters. In the Windows environment and especially for applications like Word or Excel, this works easily by switching keyboard with either Alt-Shift or through the taskbar. How do I make this work a) in the IDE for writing on my forms b) in the applications, so that the user can switch himself when entering data I tried to use different character sets in the Font property (e.g. OEM_CHARSET, hoping it would be taken over from Windows) but it doesn't work. Of course I can specify the greek character set, but then, what about english. I suppose I don't have to actually program a switch of charsets in the application? Thanks for any help, Louis de Stoutz <loudest@ibm.net>
