5.7” Wall Mount Touchpanel Crestron TPS-6L
For example, Chinese fonts contain several thousand characters. Other multibyte
languages include Japanese and Korean.
There are two separate applications with multibyte characters – static text on buttons
and indirect text on buttons. No Isys touchpanel firmware changes are required in
either case.
Indirect text on a button is entered in VisionTools Pro-e and the actual string to be
displayed is entered in SIMPL Windows. As of this publication date only completely
single byte or completely multibyte strings may be entered or they will not be
compiled correctly in SIMPL Windows. In other words, you cannot enter Chinese
characters interspersed with numbers. You can enter Chinese characters or numbers
in separate strings or you can pad each number with “\x00” to make it multibyte and
then combine it with Chinese characters in the same string.
Of course you can always use the workaround of showing a graphic that displays the
string but it is not dynamic. To compile and use multibyte characters it is essential
that the operating system understand the language. Windows XP is available in many
international languages and add-on software is available for other versions of
Windows.
Example Program
