Scintilla SCI_GETTEXT message in UNICODE

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

C++

::SendMessage (curScintilla, SCI_SETKEYSUNICODE, true, 0);
		
int	nLength = ::SendMessage(curScintilla, SCI_GETLENGTH, 0, NULL);

TCHAR * pBuffer = new TCHAR[nLength + 1];

::memset ((void *)pBuffer, 0, sizeof(TCHAR) * (nLength + 1));

int nTempLength = (int) ::SendMessage(curScintilla, SCI_GETTEXT, nLength + 1, (LPARAM)pBuffer);

strText.append(pBuffer);

delete pBuffer;

SCI_GETTEXT returns hieroglyphs.

What do I need to do to get text?

Thanks.

C++

nLength = ::SendMessage(curScintilla, SCI_GETLENGTH, 0, NULL);

CHAR * pBuffer = new CHAR[nLength + 1];
			
::memset ((void *)pBuffer, 0, sizeof(CHAR) * (nLength + 1));

int nTempLength = (int) ::SendMessageA(curScintilla, SCI_GETTEXT, nLength + 1, (LPARAM)pBuffer);
		  
delete pBuffer;

According to the documentation[^], this message returns ASCII characters.

Text for retrieval is in ANSI so I used SendMessageA and got desired result.

That won't make any difference. The key is that the returned data is ANSI and must be stored in a char buffer, not a wchar_t buffer
