Patch to use SetWindowTextA/W. (1.03 KB, patch)
2005-07-21 03:57 UTC, Peter Zelezny 		none Details | Review

Description Peter Zelezny 2005-07-21 03:56:15 UTC 
With this patch it's possible to set titlebars with characters outside the
current CodePage.

Open issues:

Is SetWindowTextW in Win98, or should we GetProcAddress? MSDN is typically
unclear on this.

Setting some text with a č (C with caron) shows up as normal c. I guess Windows
strips the caron for some reason (?). It's still an improvement, as the current
code sets a blank titlebar because g_locale returns NULL.
