CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

hi , is there a way that you can type in the editbox an utf8 encoding ?
I can set it utf8 when using the setText function like this

textbox->setText((CEGUI::utf8*)"Đăng nhập"));

but when I try to type something utf8 in , it's disappear , is there any setup am I missing ?

sorry for my bad English .

Wrong sub-forum. Moving.

You obviously didnt read the forum guidelines. You give us absolutely no info about what version you use or on what platform. Nobody can help you like this.

Did you even compile CEGUI with unicode support?

sorry for that , I use window os ( Window 7 64 bit) , CEGUI 0.8.4 .
what do you mean compile the cegui in unicode support ? compile the cegui lib with unicode encoding in Visual Studio ?
also the font demo is the same , it show the full font in Vietnamese , but when I try to type in (it is a multiline editbox btw ) the character still disapear , I hope my post doesn't anoying you .

So you are saying the Font demo displays vietnamese text fine but you can't input vietnamese text there? If it displays vietnamese text then you did compile it with unicode CEGUI setting (see CMake settings) so you did everything right so far.

thank you , is there a function I have to call after I create a editbox or something ?
because if I use the setText function , it display the character OK , but when I start typing some Vietnamese in , it's disappear .
also I read the Demo , did I miss something ? .

also here is the picture .

the demo ( old and the 0.8.7)


my project



Edited : I already swap the new dll i built to the project , still nothing happend

If it works via setText then the issue is how characters are injected. Have you tried to debug that part? It might be this was not tested well in certain setups. The demo you showed - what does it use? You didnt give us any info on that - the log would have provided it.

GLFW, SDL and the others might inject inputs differently.

thank you , I will have it debuged right away .

indeed , the injection was failed because the SDL2 removed the unicode from sdl1.2 , so I used the custom unicodeset and it work now , thank you
