Another ASM editor

Z,

Be a bit more ambitious, conversion from ascii to unicode will only handle the same characters set as ascii, see if you can add the capacity for real unicode which would be a lot more useful.

For a one-off like in NoCforMe's example, this method is fine - which brings to mind...


NoCforMe, why on earth do you need a single Unicode string, if you don't mind my asking??

Here's your unicode string:

Code Select Expand

ButtonClassname DW 'b','u','t','t','o','n', 0, 0  ; UNICODE == unicorn.
DW instead of DB. edit to add --> I just tested it, it works.

I prefer editor that can keep this in source:
"一二三四五六七八九十百千萬"
VS editor detects unicode characters asks if save as Unicode source file or not and losing it
you can use only numbers,but its easier to debug when cjk unicode is many thousands to see if its the right character and not wrong because of typo when entering 16bit hexadecimal number
also I dislike need to use the annoying syntax 'a','b','c','d','e','f',0 when I want good old string syntax "abcdef",0 indepent of ascii or unicode

otherwise I like use Qeditor,but I doubt I need to use 700mb,maybe open a video file in hex?

I like "cubby holes". It sounds better than "pigeon holes", for instance.

Hi swordfish,

You can try the WSTR macro to easily define Unicode strings.

Code Select Expand

include \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

.data

WSTR    mystr,"This is a UNICODE string."

.code

start:

    invoke  crt_wprintf,ADDR mystr
    invoke  ExitProcess,0

END start

Thank you, Vortex. I knew there was a macro for that, somewhere. But it's not really for me but for NoCforMe.
Thanks again.
I just slapped together that piece of code on the fly, as an example. I rarely if ever had the need for Unicode.

Don't mind at all. In order to display Unicode characters in some controls (buttons), I had to do two things: encode the character strings as Unicode, and encode the class name ("button") as Unicode, since I was using CreateWindowExW() instead of CreateWindowEx(). Unicode window to handle Unicode text. See, when you travel to the Unicode world, everything has to be in that "language", every string and character.

@NoCforMe, ok.
But why W version instead of A? Or was that just a coding exercise on your part?


Vortex posted a Unicode macro couple of posts above this one if you missed it.

Jochen, in your reply #7 you were going to give us a link to a "COM interface plugin", but the link wasn't given. Curious minds want to see it ...

Because you need a Unicode ("W") window to display Unicode characters.

[zedd151]

Somewhere I missed that part, where you wanted to display unicode. Sorry. 
I should've gone back and reread everything.

Oop = Object oriented programming?

Here's the latest version (about 3 day's work so far) that can load and save files. (Be careful! don't want anyone to lose anything valuable because of this. It did work fine for me, but I'm still testing it.) Few more features added. A loooooong way to go before it's a real editor, if that ever happens ...

Let me know whatcha think. JJ, I smallerized it so it might fit your screen; your advice about getting the monitor work area is good, but it was all I could do at this point to make it resize reasonably. (You'll notice that you can shrink it vertically so that the listbox on the right disappears; not good.)

Note: I replaced the .zip with a version that increases the maximum text limit to 2 Mb.
