TMPHexEditor can't show national characters (with codes >127) correctly.

[Stanley]

Original TMPHexEditor and dcrHexEditor can't show Russian letters correctly. Fix: in dcrHexEditor, at line 5857 replace

LWChrOutput := WideChar(TranslateToAnsiChar(Data[LIntDataPos]));

to

TmpChar := TranslateToAnsiChar(Data[LIntDataPos]);
MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, MB_USEGLYPHCHARS, @TmpChar, 1, @LWChrOutput, 1);

Also, it's impossible to enter chars with codes>126 and <32 from keyboard.

Thanks a lot for this report.

Your suggestions is a workaround, granted, but I think this problem should be accessed in a different way.

TranslateToAnsiChar returns an AnsiChar, but should be updated to return a WideChar instead. Plus, any conversions should take place there (or in its replacement), or by the conversion integrated into newer Delphi's data types.

Could you attach:
1. A simple native codepage russian text sample?
2. The same saved as UTF-8?

A single line with some text should be sufficient, and that way I could test the display myself.

Yes, of course.

After working on russian localization in another project the past weeks, I went back to this ticket. There's one issue here that's not easy to fix - your workaround works on a russian OS only probably. I'll finally get such a virtual machine these days to be able to test, but I was also looking for ways to improve the output. There already is the Translation property, and it might be nice to have some update to allow a custom codepage (or Delphi CHARSET) to be set to be able to make text readable independent of the systems CP.
