problem with Hebrew font in a control

Hi.
i am trying to made my first application in Qt.
and i got a problem with the Hebrew.
i made a lineEdit control with pushButton and listWidget. when the buttons clickEvent occur the text in the lineEdit goes to the listWidget,
normally, all working perfect.
but if im trying to insert a hardcoded item to the listwidget that writen in Hebrew i will get in the list only "????"...

i am tried to use the:
QTextCodec *codec = QTextCodec::codecForName("iso8859-8");but hopeless...

any help please??? :)

Hi,

first: How do you save your files? Suppose utf8 then try:

Code:

---

setText(trUtf8("שלום"))

---

.
Works for me,

Lykurg

Thank you, but it is not working for me... :rolleyes:
and i am not handle with files yet...

so how are your files are encoded? and please post the relevant code where you insert the hebrew text to the list widget.

it is only my first time i am using the Qt framework.
and i am just tried to do a simple ui with a list and button.
when the user press the button something will add to the list.
in English its absolutely working but in Hebrew its doesn't.

i tried verity of code the last one was:

Code:

---

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
ui->listWidget->addItem(trUtf8("שלום"));}

---

edit:
i even tried this code:

Code:

---

QString text = "שלום";
QTextCodec *codec = QTextCodec::codecForName("Windows-1255");
QByteArray encodedString = codec->fromUnicode(text);
ui->textEdit->append(encodedString);

---

Thank you for helping me! :)

Lykurg, thank you, i did it... :)

thanks the code:

Code:

---

QByteArray encode = "שלום";
        QTextCodec* code = QTextCodec::codecForName("Windows-1255");
        QString string = code->toUnicode(encode);
        ui->textEdit->append(string);

---

but it is the right way to do this???

Edit:
something goes wrong...
when i done this on my native system its work perfectly...
but when i tried this code my virtual machine i got ???? again....

Edit II:
I have to mention that my goal is to build application for the S60 platform
and in the VM i have the S60 SDK installed... if its change something...

If it works it is ok, but it is to much for such a simple thing. Still I can only recomend to use pure utf8 for all. Files and then trUtf8.

Ahh, the s60! I had trouble with that also. I was trying to set hebrew with vovels. But with the new release I don't have had troubles. So I would suggest. make a simple compilable program which reproduce your error, and I will check it at home with my Xpressmusic and we will see further...

Thank you man...
but i deleted the project and the entire environment and started from scrach...

Now i can read Hebrew that hardcoded and even readen from file...

But i have another problem with this ... ye rigth...
I change the button "Add" to Hebrew and now he gibrish....
you can see in the picture the button in the rigth upper corner...

יופי! With the button: Did you use designer for creating the GUI? If so, see if it uses utf8 as well. If you don't find the error just upload a running sample code and we'll see.

Lykurg

No i made it with the Creator.
here i uploded all the "project" source:

Thank you very much!

Hi,

there is some strangeness inside you code (at least for me...). I still can say: use utf8 since Qt use that codec. Make sure you have configured Qt Creator to use utf8!
Also QTextCodec was not used correct:

Code:

---

void MainReader::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
    QFile file(ui->lineEdit->text());
    if(file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
{
    QTextStream in(&file);
    in.setCodec("Windows-1255");
    QString line = in.readAll();
    ui->textEdit->append(line);
}
}
 
void MainReader::on_pushButton_2_clicked()
{
	ui->textEdit->append(trUtf8("נסיון"));
}

---

and with the button no problem at all. And as a further suggestion: Have a look at the layout mechanism. QHBoxLayout etc.

1) Thank you very much.
2) How can i configure my Creator to use UTF8?
3) the code you written in Button 2 appended only gibberish...
4) with the button on the right up corner, in Windows their is no problem, but in S60 his text in gibberish..

What is the chance that the UTF8 in Windows and S60 are different??
i declared the name of the button like so:

Code:

---

ui->pushButton_2->setText(QString::fromUtf8("\327\224"));

---

in Windows i got "ה"
in S60 i got "ש"
What the heck? what i am doing wrong???
