Compiling Chinese Resource File

[daoshan]

Hi all, does anyone know how to compile a resource file in Chinese with a English SDK? Each time I tried to compile, I got error message complaining "RComp failed ..." Must I compile the Chinese resource file in a Chinese SDK? Thank you!

I tried it in my place. I found there was no problem at all to compile a resource file in Chinese under English SDK.

Attached please find my sample code for your reference.

Hi LiuxG,
I am developing an application in which i write into a file in one .cpp files and read it back and display in an EDWIN placed in side a form.When i see the form in view mode it displays each character in the edwin separated by a box shaped thing but when i view it in edit mode it just shows perfect.I think theres some problem coz of different formats in writing buffer and reading buffer for a file( TBuf for writing and TBuf8 for reading ).
i tried taking a big buffer and constantly appending to it the contents of the small TBuf8 buffer but it didnt work.Can you plz tell me what should i change in the following code to get it perfectly work ?

TBuf<256> GetBuf;

Dir.Format(_L("\\system\\apps\\form\\"));
RFs fileSession;
User::LeaveIfError(fileSession.Connect());
CleanupClosePushL(fileSession);
fileSession.MkDir(Dir); // Ignore return value
RFile file;
if (file.Replace(fileSession, TempFile, EFileWrite) != KErrNone)
{
CAknInformationNote* informationNote = new
(ELeave)CAknInformationNote;
informationNote->ExecuteLD(_L("Failed To Open File"));
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // close fileSession
return;
}
TPtrC8 ptr((TUint8*)GetBuf.Ptr(), GetBuf.Size());
CleanupClosePushL(file);
file.Write(ptr);
file.Close();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();

RFs fileSession;
User::LeaveIfError(fileSession.Connect());
CleanupClosePushL(fileSession);
fileSession.MkDir(Dir); // Ignore return value
RFile file;
if (file.Open(fileSession, TempFile, EFileRead) != KErrNone)
{
CAknInformationNote* informationNote = new (ELeave)CAknInformationNote;
informationNote->ExecuteLD(_L("Failed To Read File"));
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(); // close fileSession
return;
}
CleanupClosePushL(file);
TBuf8<128> MyBuf;
TBuf<256> OneMore;
file.Read(0,MyBuf);
OneMore.Copy(MyBuf);
SetEdwinTextL(EAknExFormDlgCtrlIdEdwin01,&OneMore);
file.Close();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();
}

Regards and Thanks

please do not convert text from TBuf to TBuf8 directly.

By the way, which characters should be escaped in the resource file in Chinese besides the normal ones?

Hi,

Could you please refer to the following link:

&raquo; Symbian OS v6.1 Edition for C++ &raquo; API Guide &raquo; Base &raquo; Character Conversion &raquo; How to use CCnvCharacterSetConverter

in the SDK for help? I think it provides you enough information about how to do it!
