It doesn't matter what it does, the important thing is seeing that it does something in LCL-Gtk1 and does nothing useful in all other widgetsets. Gtk1 is obsolete, so the routine currently does nothing useful. > IMO a usable software should *not* require the user to guess >From what I see, users should not use this routine. As mentioned in my previous e-mail it looks a legacy from the past when Lazarus still used ansi-encoded strings in some widgetsets. It does not look useful nowadays, so I propose deprecating it.
