Font.Charset and TButton

I am setting Font.Charset to EASTEUROPE_CHARSET for all controls on my form. This works great for controls such as TLabel. But for controls that are simply a wrapper around a windows control, e.g. TButton, some characters are not displaying correctly.

Doing a Google search I have discovered that this is due to Font.Charset not matching the system codepage.

But I cannot find how to fix it. I am using Delphi 7, maybe this has been fixed in later Delphi's, I don't know.

Anyone help?

Thanks,

AJ

Delphi 7 does not have Unicode Support (Though it should have support for some European Languages) so this may be your issue. Delphi 2009 provides comprehensive Unicode Support to Delphi.

If you want to be multi-lingual in Delphi then you should just move up to the latest version. Working with code pages is a world of pain that disappears entirely when you embrace Unicode.

You need to change the system default language for non-unicode programs. It is in Control Panel, under regional languages and settings.
