chinese strings...

[mserougi]

I'm trying to display chinese strings in a MessageBox but all I see is garbage. I have the chinese characters entered in the code (copy and paste from some chinese file) but still the same garbage is output. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? I'm using QString's which from what I read supports UTF-8. Thanks.

i use QString::fromUTF8("chinese string") to let it display chinese character ..

hope this help

you can try this way:

1)write a function "toUnicode"

QString toUnicode(const char *str){
return QString::fromLocal8Bit(str, strlen(str));
}

2)use this function in your program

ZMessageBox::timerMessage(this,ir.getIcon(RES_ICON_DLG_COMPLETE),toUnicode("Chinese strings"),3);

3)edit the *.desktop file in target mpkg ball

Exec=yourprogram -qws -font SSong
