Hi John,

A TLabel with Caption:='Abc' and Canvas.TextOut(1,1,'Abc') gives exactly the same output.

I've tried it in KOL and it works perfectly. I really like the small size of the exe, but I want my software to work with LCL. Eventually I want to port half a million lines of Delphi code and deploy on Linux, Mac, etc. Right now I just need to draw a diagram in WinCE which includes text...

Regards,

Paul.

Hi All,

I'm new to Lazarus having decided to switch from Delphi for a WinCE 
project. I'm stumped though. Labels on forms display garbage characters. 
Having spent a whole two days learning about Lazarus internals, Unicode, 
Widestrings, etc., I'm now pulling out my hair and the project cannot 
continue.

The following code produces the same "garbage characters":

procedure TGPSForm.SatellitePaintBoxPaint(Sender: TObject);
var
  Rect: TRect;
  Dx: Integer;
  W: WideString;
begin
  with SatellitePaintBox do
  begin
    Rect:=ClientRect;
    W:='Abc';
    Windows.ExtTextOutW(Canvas.Handle, 1, 1, 0, LPRECT(@Rect), 
PWideChar(W), Length(W), @Dx);
  end;
end;

Any ideas?

    

Hmm,
Dunno, I use KOL without major problems.
But what is output when you try:

with SatellitePaintBox do
  begin
    Canvas.Textou(1,1,'Abc');
  end;

?

John
