Re: Help writing Japanese apps
As far as fonts that use extended ascii. Code Wariior IDE does not suppport them. A. If you copy an extended character from say, a Hebrew word processor and paste it inot the standard IDE editor, it displays the incorrect info. You're better off editing the file in Word or something. B. Constructor, you can paste it in, but it will display crap, but the final output on the palm will be ok. OR, type in the hex values one by one (yuck) Chris Percival [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:18270@palm-dev-forum...

How = to I enter Japanese text into a form using the CW Constructor? Is there = any documentation explaining this. My version of CWR6 Constructor is = missing its help file. I'm assuming that you want to edit UI text such as a menu, form title, etc. so that it contains Japanese text. In that case, the first thing you need to do is select the appropriate character encoding. In the Project Settings pane, select "Palm OS for Japan" for the Palm OS Target setting. After that, assuming your desktop supports Japanese text entry, you should be able to enter Japanese and see it displayed properly in Constructor. At least it works for me, using Constructor 1.2 on Mac OS 8.6 with the Japanese Language Kit. -- Ken Ken Krugler TransPac Software, Inc. http://www.transpac.com +1 530-470-9200 -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/

My version of CWR6 Constructor is missing its help file. Download the 3.5 SDK and Update 1 from http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/sdk35.cgi/.

If I click on the Help menu and select Contents I get an error = John, You have encountered the most common question there is about CodeWarrior. The answer is: it doesn't come with the HLP files. All of the information you are looking for can be found in "Constructor for Palm OS.pdf" which (in a default installation) is found in the "C:\Program Files\Metrowerks\CW for Palm OS R6\Documentation\Palm OS Documentation\PDF\" folder (on a Windows machine) . Two other very important reference docs are there also: "Palm OS Reference.pdf"and "Palm OS Companion.pdf". -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
