[sf::Event::Text] Problem with national characters.
« on: August 01, 2012, 12:58:45 pm »
Hello!

I have a little problem. I want do display my text from input. Look at code:

void WriteDisplayer::writing()
{
  if(isActive)
  {
    sf::Event currentEvent = window->getEvent();

    if (currentEvent.Type == sf::Event::TextEntered && window->checkEventUniqueness())
    {
      if (currentEvent.Text.Unicode < 128)
        mainStr.push_back(currentEvent.Text.Unicode);
    }
    else if(currentEvent.Key.Code == sf::Key::Code::Back && window->checkEventUniqueness())
    {
      if(!mainStr.empty())
        mainStr.pop_back();
    }

    sfStr.SetText(mainStr);
  }
}

It works great but I want to get polish characters like ąĄśŚćĆżŻźŹóÓęĘłŁ etc. It should be easy but it don't.
I tryed to write that characters and check value of currentEvent.Text.Unicode by debugger but when I changed the condition then program was writing out wrong characters. What's going on ? :<

For example ...  I chose 'ł' but it displayed 'B'

Could you write a complete and minimal code that reproduces the problem? This way we can see how you store and draw your string, and we can test it if nothing seems to be wrong.

That's not a minimal example. ::)
A minimal example would for example be a main function, which loads a font and displays the text. If that doesn't reproduce the problem then you would soon recognize that the problem was somewhere in your code handeling. On the other hand if it still doesn't work, then it might be some SFML related thing or wrong handeling of unicode characters.

Anyways does the font you're loading support those characters?

How did you change it?

What compiler and SFML version do you use?

Please keep this post in mind, when writing a question...

You wouldn't understand my main function without other classes describes. My mechanics of those class works great and displaying other characters like a, b, c, d... etc but I can't describe polish characters in those if, here:

 if (currentEvent.Text.Unicode < 128 || currentEvent.Text.Unicode == 322)  ///-> 322 == '&#38;#322;' ?
        mainStr.push_back(currentEvent.Text.Unicode);

I pressed key 'ł' and debugger showed me that currentEvent.Text.Unicode contains 322. After I added new condition (means: currentEvent.Text.Unicode == 322) my 'if' accept condition but currentEvent.Text.Unicode contains 'B' character. I use Visual Studio 10 and SFML 1.6.

What he means is that you should write a new main function that makes the problem show up, with as little code as possible.
