Tiburon Unicode Video #1
My first Tiburon Unicode Video (including audio) is now available on YouTube.
My first Tiburon Unicode Video (including audio) is now available on YouTube and linked below. Notice that I have 5 already captured, so I'm certainly going to release them even if you suggested me to focus on the book. Second, I'm using "small moving window" rather that full screen, because this is what I find works best on YouTube. Third, I'm using YouTube to save your and my bandwidth and because I cannot host them myself.
The example in this video is called FromAsciiToUnicode and is the first example in my coming "Tiburon Handbook" (no, the name will be different). Enjoy.

I notice you (and others) only talk about Delphi. What about C++ Builder?Comment by Mike Versteeg [http://mikeversteeg.com] on August 4, 15:39

There is no such thing as "ASCII-8"! :-) ASCII only defines the first 128 characters, everything above is handled by character sets: in your case, this is probably Windows-1252. If someone in Poland would run your program, they would get quite a different set of characters above 127. I admit that I'm a bit pedantic here, but I just did get too many texts in "ASCII" that were useless, because nobody knew what the correct character set they were in. There is no such thing as "plain text". Or "ASCII-8". ;-)Comment by Holger Dors [http://www.dors.de] on August 4, 16:11

The active code page and extended ASCII, ANSI, codepages stuff is all the book. See for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_ASCII The first chapters doesn't really cover what string means in Tiburon, that in Chapter 2! I tend to focus on Delphi because that's my expertise (and I currently write book on it, although I did write on C++ ages ago...) I've uploaded a few more videos, will make them publicComment by Marco Cantù [http://www.marcocantu.com] on August 4, 17:12

The most important question this immediately brings to my mind.... What capturing tool are you using? :) I might be interested in it myself and I like the cursor centred capture window approach.Comment by Jolyon Smith [http://www.deltics.co.nz/blog] on August 5, 00:16
Delphi IE Toolbar PopupMenu problem
Dear Sir, I know that this is not a correct place to post this. But I am helpless. I have developed IE toolbar using Delphi 2007/2006. I used TMSUnicode Component Pack for Unicode supported VCL. For dropdown menu for the toolbuttons, I used TntPopupmenu. The popupmenu is only visible in the main window of IE. It is not visible in New window/New Tabs of IE. I have put my question in all poosible forums but no fruitful results yet. As a last resort, I have posted this in your blog. I made another toolbar with native VCL without unicode VCL which is working fine with a few changes to Menus.Pas and Controls.Pas file to handle Popupmenus and Hints respectively. It seems it is related to thread safety. Can you kindly help me please. My ID is shaheen.akhtar@raftaar.in Thanks a lot sir.Comment by Shaheen Akhtar [http://www.raftaar.in] on August 5, 09:12
