在VB6中显示Unicode文本(希伯来语等)的最佳选择是什么

标签: unicode vb6 internationalization

我有一些客户希望在希伯来语中使用我们的语音治疗软件。

程序在VB6中。我所知道的最佳选择是:

  1. 使用MS Office中的Forms 2.0控件,但您无法分发它们。
  2. http://www.hexagora.com/en_dw_unictrl.asp $ 899
  3. http://www.iconico.com/UniToolbox/ $ 499
  4. 还有其他选择吗?

我发现这个tutorial非常有用。是的,它部分是另一个Unicode Control Suite的广告,但它有很多关于如何自己做以及涉及哪些问题的信息。

修改

我知道我在书签中存储了更多内容。

首先,有一篇来自Chilkat(另一个组件供应商)的文章,关于如何使用Font的字符集(假设它是一个unicode字体)来设置不同的字体类型(你必须手动更改.frm因为charset没有暴露在gui中)。然后你所要做的就是从AnsiToUTF8转换回来支持不同的语言(这就是Chilkat的控制所做的)。

其次,有Vesa Piittinen的免费(知识共享,包括源代码)VB6控制下载here。它们包括Textbox,Label,Menu,List,Dialog,CommandButton,Caption(form的标题))。我没有和他们玩太多,但基本上他正在做所有的onPaint,而且好的是,这一切都是在VB中完成的,你可以查看源代码。

据推测,您的用户没有选择希伯来语作为系统默认代码页,否则您可以使用原生VB6控件(请记住,希伯来语是从右到左,显然!)。

不要使用表单2 - 它会使您的VB6程序崩溃。 Microsoft Knowledge Base article:“与Visual Basic和其他开发人员产品一起使用时,已知FM20.DLL存在许多问题。任何Visual Studio产品都不推荐使用它。”

我没有其他人的个人经历,但你的#3选项UniToolbox已存在多年,谷歌在新闻组上引发了一些积极的喋喋不休(编辑 - 例如VB6国际化大师迈克尔卡普兰建议使用post in 2004blog post in 2005)。

一个令人讨厌的选择是使用原生VB6控件的API调用 - 迈克尔卡普兰关于VB6国际化的优秀book以及his website上的一些示例代码的一些指示。但这将是很多工作。无论如何都要购买这本书,因为它是VB6国际问题信息的金矿。例如sample chapter解释了希伯来语的问题。寻找它secondhand,因为它已绝版。

根据KB224305(“信息:FM20.DLL的使用和再分发”),您可以安装免费的“Microsoft ActiveX Control Pad”,然后安装Forms 2.0库。

也许这是你的选择。

  • DBCS - 双字节字符集

DBCS实际上不是Windows使用的正确术语。它实际上是MBCS,其中一个字符可以是1或2个字节。为了说明这一点,请考虑以下代码,它将采用英文和中文字符的Unicode字符串,转换为MBCS中文字节数组,将字节数组转储到即时窗口,最后将其转换回Unicode字符串以显示在Unicode感知文本框。使用中文(PRC)LCID = 2052转换时的字节数组包含英文字符的单个字节和Unicode字符的双字节。这证明它是MBCS而不是DBCS:

以下是使用资源(.RES)文件在Microsoft Visual Basic窗体中显示Unicode字符的一些注释:

当我在创建资源(.RES)文件时将俄语或日语字符粘贴到Microsoft Visual Basic 6资源编辑器时,字符将在MSVB6资源编辑器和计算机上显示的MSVB6表单中显示为问号(?)使用我通过MSVB6从RES文件构建的资源DLL,分别使用俄语或日语语言环境。

但是,如果我通过将字符粘贴到资源黑客http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker中将字符添加到资源文件中,字符仍会在MSVB6资源编辑器中显示为问号,但在具有适当区域设置的计算机上会正确显示我通过MSVB6构建了资源DLL。

可以为多种语言中的每种语言创建资源DLL,并使用Microsoft的GetUserDefaultLCID或GetUserDefaultLocaleName来决定加载哪些语言。
