Ascii chart

[aw27]

:t Indeed I was thinking in "console output code page" (apparently by default "input console code page" is the same), but Jimg chart is using "system code page". In any case, usually you only access one code page.

I don't know about what you call "console output code page", "input console code page" and "system code page".
There are two groups of code pages in Windows systems: OEM and ANSI code pages. Why invent new names when we already have names?

That pages are used in different ways.

Marketing people would say that all code pages cater to the same market. 

I wrote some Portuguese text in Notepad++ ("Anões e cães é um caso ímpar disse o júri."), saved it with code page 860, then I went to the console:

Code: [Select]

>chcp 860
Active code page: 860

>type lol.txt
Anões e cães é um caso ímpar disse o júri.

>chcp 1252
Active code page: 1252

>type lol.txt
An”es e c„es ‚ um caso ¡mpar disse o j£ri.

>chcp 437
Active code page: 437

>type lol.txt

The program show code page setted in your machine. Just that  8)

There is more than one code page in your system. Check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage

Added quickie code pages dump.  Unfortunately printing different code pages in a rich edit changes something I haven't found (unprintable characters 129, 141, 143, and 144 have incorrect widths) so next print of ascii table does not line up.  The only way I found to fix it is to close the rich edit and make a new one, but I'm still looking.

If anyone knows any other way to print characters from multiple code pages at the same time, other than with a rich edit, please let me know.

edit:
combined with original in first post.

   I have often needed a way to throw up a quick image to look at while working on another program.  There are many programs out there to do that, but I wanted as little impact on the screen as possible, i.e. no title, no frame, just the image, made topmost.  So I added the capability to my Ascii chart program for convenience.  You can load any of the normal image types that gdiplus handles, (bmp, png, tif, gif, and jpg).  The program also accepts drag and drop.

Download from the first post in this thread.

added image types .emf, .emf, and .ico

Codepages are a way to squeeze a subset of characters into a 'page' of 8-bit sized values; as you've found, they're not meant to be mixed.
If only there were some way to take all of the world's characters and put them into one giant 'page' -- of course, there is. Windows uses "wide-characters" which are 16-bits each (note: this is not the same as Unicode, though it's similar), instead of trying to squeeze them into 8-bits.

So, what you need to do is convert from each codepage into wide-chararacters, and only actually use wide-characters for everything (you'll also need to use the ...W versions of functions, where appropriate).

Luckily, the hard part is already done for you: MultiByteToWideChar

Thanks Tedd :)
