Display Extended ASCII in listview

Hi,

I want to display the extended ASCII charset in the list view (in List
mode), but when i assign any of the Ex. ASCII chars to the listview
item text, it renders blank.

Any idea how i can display the Ex ASCII chars in list view.

Regards,
Ankit!!

It should, if the strings you are feeding it is encoded as UTF8/Unicode.
Which specific characters is missing?

ListView, like all other items in C# is made for Unicode/UTF8 string
which covers most languages and character-sets.

The only limitation in displaying such text is if you are using a font
which is not covering the character range, - Tahoma is a good choice.

I suggest you try to find what Unicode character it is, and then check
for fonts which support it.

Then you should check what font you are using for the listview, as that
is a unicode character. Most stanard fonts support it, even MS Serif and
MS Sans Serif.

If you have a font that supports it, then you should check if you
actually got the character into the string correctly.

Not to be picky, but this is tricky enough... :)

String are actually not encoded, they are just unicode. Internally they
are stored as 16-bit character codes (with surrogate pairs to support
the full 21 bit character range).

If you encode a string you don't have a string any more, you have a byte
array.

Hi, I'd like to display some non-ascii characters in a DOS window. I'm getting the characters from Windows Character Map, such as the Spade (U+2660) and a few others. However, I can't get it to work. I know the characters I'm trying to display are Unicode and that is presenting the problem. Does anyone know how to do this if even possible? Thanks!

Hey all, Quick question...been bugging me for some time, really. I have a console app, it does some things, and I want to save an array of text to a text file.

My appologies if this ends up being a duplicate post. For some reason the first post never showed up. I've tried about 300 iterrations of this same ability, and none of them seem to work in Firefox. Take the following code for example. It WILL stop me from entering zero into the first text box, but it wont stop me from entering extended ascii characters (which is the final goal).

Hi, I have to treat a given text file, but haven't got a clue which extended ASCII set it is using. Opening the file in Windows' Notepad or in DOS, all accented letters and symbols are wrong. Any idea how to identify the subset used? Is there some text editor which can cycle easy through all known subsets, or even better: cycle subsets automatically until found a given test-string with some accents and symbols?

Many thanks for those who responded to my question of "putting greek char into C string". In searching for an solution, I noticed that there are more than one version of "Extended ASCII characters"(No. 128 to 255) . e.g., in one version No. 224 is the symbol alpha, in another, it's a "a" with a ` on it... How come? You can see it here: http://www.kturby.com/cables/ascii2.htm

Hello everybody, sry for the bad title :). I created an extended ListView with an extended ColumnHeader. If i add a new ColumnHeader through the designer, it appears on the left side of the editor and i can set my own properties. But when i click the ok-button, the code ist not generated in the for example Form1.Designer.cs file, so the Columns won't appear in the ListView (not at designtime nor at runtime).
