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.
May I suggest you to show how the 8 bit character set
changes depending on the active codepage (maybe using
the new <codepage> syntax)?
And why a Unicode->AnsiString->Unicode conversion may
lead to the wrong string?
It will show why CodeGear didn't allow to
change "string" meaning via some directive in
Tiburon - as some are advocating.

I notice you (and others) only talk about Delphi. What
about C++ Builder?
Thanks. I'm looking forward to watching the other
ones.

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". ;-)
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 public
Could you please share your video on an other video
portal (may be google video). May be you had heard
about that YouTube is forbiddeb in Turkey.
Thanks...

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.
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.
