Unicode Question

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Jonathan,

This works for me:

on mouseUp
     set the textFont of btn 2 to "Lucida Grande,Unicode"
     set the text of btn 2 to the unicodetext of fld 1 --replacetext(the unicodetext of fld 1,uniencode(cr),cr)
end mouseUp

I'm not sure whether menus get confused if the line delimiter is actuall NULL & cr instead of just cr, but it doesn't seem to matter (much).

Then when all of the product names are in it, I put the contents of that field into the option button.  It works in that all of the names go in, but I haven't been able to find a carriage return character that I can insert between the product names that works.  It will work in the field, but when I then put it into the option button a lot of strange characters show up between the product names rather than a carriage return.
