Going off at a tangent... I should probably know this, but right now I can't remember - what does Fl::event_length() return for a UTF-8 string? If it is indeed literally "characters" rather than "bytes" then Alvin's approach (which I know is widely used in C-style languages everywhere) to ensuring the string is NULL-terminated, is not going to work, as many strings will have far more bytes than characters, in general. -- Ian _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
