Hi,
I need to display other language texts in SWT controls using unicode.
For example in a SWT table, I need to display different language text in each row. I tried to display the a unicode text of "Tamil" language. But the text is not displayed in the table properly(displaying boxes).

I want to display the other language texts in this way in the table. Can any one please tell how to do that?

Thanks & regards,
Loganathan. S.

Hi,

I myself found an option, for SWT controls which are adapted by JFace viewers, we can use OwnerDrayLabel provider, and use TextLayout to draw the text, which is supporting unicode text to display as it is. For text boxes, we can use StyledText instead of Text control, because StyledText supports unicode text to display but Text does not.

Loganathan.

Hi, loganathans

how about to consider ASCII?

Hi oxygold,
I cant understand ur question.. If u are asking about displaying ASCII charecters or text, as java supposts only unicode characters, these non-unicode characters or text should be converted manually before using it for display. This code convertion methode is well explained at: Converting Non-Unicode Text (The Java™ Tutorials > Internationalization > Working with Text)
