Re: Character set in Carbon



Hi Dieter,

Is it possible to query a carbon based application what character set
(encoding) the applicatuon is using?

What do you mean by this? Are you trying to find out what encoding the source code was using? Or are you trying to query some runtime attribute?


The former might differ from file to file.

If you mean the later then
a) this is the wrong list, try Carbon DEV instead and
b) an application does not inherently use any one character set encoding. It is possible that certain UI elements or internal processing routines set or make assumptions about a character set encoding but this would not imply that the whole app must "use" (whatever that may mean) only one. Generally modern Mac OS X applications use Unicode for most things. See CFString et al.
