Uses of activex control of Microsoft forms 2 text box

[snadeem66]

Respected members

I want to know, how we implement activex control Microsoft forms 2 text box in visual foxpro forms for multilingual languages.

How we connect that control with field?

I want to store data in another field? Any way or method.

If you are trying to create application for multiple world markets I suggest you look into Steven Black's INTL toolkit. Here is a quick link that I found, do a web search for more/better information.

ActiveX controls are not foxpro and therefore have no controlsource property usable as with a vfp control. You would need do programmatical what VFp does automatic if you use an ActiveX textbox.

MrDataGuy already pointed you to the right resource for application internationalisation: INTL Toolkit.

You don't need UTF-8 or unicode data to support other languages including japanese and chinese, arabic etc. They all can be supported by some ANSI codepage specifically for them - Very many languages using the latin alphabet can even be support with only one codepage 1252 for these languages.

Bye, Olaf.
