Running the Gremlins on my application, I get a "TextMgr.cpp, Line:727, Sign-extended char passed to TxtCharAttr" warning because the Gremlin wrote a 236 (EC) character into a field onto which I later perform, for each character, a TxtGlueCharIsAlNum call, which in turn, calls TxtCharAttr. The OS reference about TxtCharAttr says "The character passed to this function must be a valid character given the system encoding.". Yet, in the Latin character set, this 236 character is simply an accented lowercase "a". Isn't this a valid character? What kind of preventive filtering must I perform before calling TxtGlueCharIsAlNum to prevent this? I already call this API to know whether the char is a letter...
Some may suggest reading the TextMgr.cpp file form the OS source code, but this is currently unavailable from PalmSource. The Source code link leads to an error page :( -- Luc Le Blanc -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
