Show symbols in a Win32 application
|
|
|
|
I would like to display a "sigma" symbol in my Win32 application built with
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. I found the corresponding UNICODE number is 03C3,
which was equal to 963 in decimal, then put it to the following codes.
However, the "sigma" symbol was not displayed correctly.
I was  since I used the same code in a PPC2003 application built
with eMmbedded Visual C++ 4.0, and the "sigma" symbol was displayed
correctly. Could anybody please explain it to me?
Thanks in advance.
John
//Show symbols For Test Purpose Only
CString strSymbol = "1 ";
int nSigma = 963; //Unicode for sigma
strSymbol += TCHAR(nSigma);
m_Combo6.DeleteString (0);
m_Combo6.InsertString (0, strSymbol);

| I suspect that the font that you are using doesn't include the sigma.

| You are right, Steve, I forgot to force the UNICODE build since I thought
Win2K is based on UNICODE in default.
The following 3 steps solved my problem.
1) Under the project settings, under the 'C/C++' tab, for 'Preprocessor
definitions',
add "UNICODE,_UNICODE" and remove "_MBCS".
2) Under the project settings, under the 'Link' tab, category 'output', set
the 'Entry-point symbol' to 'wWinMainCRTStartup'.
3) Use the UNICODE equivalents to replace some functions.
