$' are fine, but £'s show as invalid characters in the table control. Is this one to be fixed? If not, what other ASCII characters will the table control be unable to show?


Thx

Basic4ppc uses UTF-8 encoding and should be OK showing the £ symbol...
Can you post your code?

To be pedantic (yet again :)) B4ppc characters are UTF16 internally and are encoded to/from either UTF8 or a specific codepage or ASCII when reading or writing to a stream.

I have a UK system and pound shows fine on a table on both device and desktop. As Cableguy says any character ought to be displayable - the proviso is that the font in use needs to include the specific glyph for the required character but most Windows standard fonts do include a pound.

Type a pound sign into a textbox and see if it shows correctly there.

Ther is no code as such. The table is just displaying a csv which contains the £ symbol. I've tried a few fonts, but each appear as either spaces, dots or squares in the table. The £'s do show in every other control though. Very strange - this is what lead me to believe it was a bug in the table control.
