Well,
I did very recently the win32 status bar native implementation. Under win32
this is displayed correctly because I added this piece of code on
ap_Win32StatusBar.cpp to convert from UTF8 to the native encoding:
;-------------------------
char *pText = UT_convert (utf8.utf8_str(),
utf8.byteLength(),
"utf-8",
XAP_EncodingManager::get_instance()->getNative8BitEncodingName(),
&uRead, &uWrite);
;-------------------------
I saw that in Unix there was no conversion and the string was sent in UTF8
format directly to the GTK widget. If GTK does not process UTF8 directly, then
the UTF8->Native conversion may be can be done at XP level.
Well, I hope this brings some light.
Jordi,
