 |
|
Is there in silverfrost an intrinsic similar to MBConvertMBToUnicode (available in Intel Fortran)?
We need to pass a licence key as unicode to a C++ call which will then check if it is correct. The actual key is a string in Fortran but needs to be converted to unicode.
Thanks |

| There is no FTN95 intrinsic as such but it should be possible to directly call the Microsoft API function MultiByteToWideChar. I can try to put together some illustrative code if you need it. |

Here is some sample code. The code page (CP_UTF8) and flag (MB_PRECOMPOSED) will depend on your context. The file was saved using Plato with "Advanced Save Options" as "UNICODE(UTF-8 without signature)".
The text says "Hello World" in Russian.
| Code: | PROGRAM main
STDCALL MultiByteToWideChar 'MultiByteToWideChar'(VAL,VAL,STRING,VAL,REF,VAL):INTEGER*4
INTEGER count
INTEGER,PARAMETER::CP_UTF8=65001,MB_PRECOMPOSED=1,NCHARS=256
CHARACTER(NCHARS) str
INTEGER*2 wstr(NCHARS)
str = "Привет, мир"
!str = "Hello World"
count = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8,MB_PRECOMPOSED,str,LEN_TRIM(str),wstr,NCHARS)
DO i = 1,count
WRITE(*, '(Z6)') wstr(i)
END DO
END PROGRAM main |

this would be a more appropriate message for it to print ....

Many thanks for that Paul.
Unfortunately the third party C++ DLL doesn't seem to recognise the key passed this way. But I was able to pass it using a STRING keyword with STDCALL, so it wasn't necessary to use the conversion. In their help for Fortran they do say that is is necessary to convert first (for Intel Fortran), so I guess there is no need with Sivlerfrost! |
