Would it help if I made it so that you had a hook to customize this at the TIB_Connection level?

Subject: [IBO] Problem with codepage 28591 and TIB_Memo

Hello group,



I have run into a problem with saving/loading some special characters like € etc. from BLOB fields.



Some more infos:





- The database / table have been defined with charset ISO8859_1



- That charset has also been defined in the (only) connection of the application



- When entering € 99 into a TIB_Memo connected to a BLOB (subtype 1) database field and posting, it will display as ? 99



- Entering the same € 99 into a TIB_Edit connected to the same database field works fine



I seem to have tracked down the problem to the function GetCodePageFromCharID() in IB_Utils which maps the charset ISO8859_1 to the codepage 28591.

For some reason this function is being called when posting from a TIB_Memo but not when posting from TIB_Edit. Changing the assignment to CP 1252 fixes the immediate problem.



Can someone shed some light on what’s going on there? Also, is there a way to change the codepage without hacking into IB_Utils.pas ?



Did anyone run into a similar situation? Looking forward to any ideas you guys have. ☺



Regards,

Thomas
