problems creating UNICODE directories
Posted: Tue May 03, 2016 08:28 AM

i want to create directories with unicode characters, but none of the functions tried works well.
lMkDir(), MakeDir() fwh1507, bcc7, xHarbour 1.2.3 bcc7_20150603

DLL32 Function apiCreateDir(lpPathName AS STRING, lpSecurityAttributes AS LPSTR) AS LONG PASCAL FROM "CreateDirectoryW" LIB "kernel32.dll"
apiCreateDir("c:\Dir ∞ Dir") creates a directory with chinese character in the directory of exe file instead of "c:\Dir ∞ Dir" with infinite symbol.

CreateDirectoryW of kernel32.dll is declared like unicode version.
any suggestion?

With Harbour (but not with xHarbour)
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
HB_SETCODEPAGE( "UTF8" )
MAKEDIR( "తెలుగు" )

Worked for me.

We shall now enhance FW functions to work with Unicode names

You can use these functions to create unicode folders.
Works with Harbour and xHarbour
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include <windows.h>
#include <hbapi.h>

LPWSTR   fw_parWide( int iParam );               // source: msgsapi.c

HB_FUNC( LMKDIRW )
{
   BOOL bRet;

   LPWSTR pW;

   pW = fw_parWide( 1 );
   bRet = CreateDirectoryW( pW, 0 );
   hb_xfree( ( void * ) pW );

   hb_retl( bRet );
}

#include <shlobj.h>

HB_FUNC (LMKFULLPATHW)
{
   BOOL bRet;

   LPWSTR pW;

   pW = fw_parWide( 1 );
   bRet = ( SHCreateDirectoryExW( NULL, pW, NULL ) == 0 );
   hb_xfree( ( void * ) pW );

   hb_retl( bRet );

}

#pragma ENDDUMP


lMkDirW() for relative path
lMkFullPathW() for full path

You need any FWH version during 2016

HB_SETCODEPAGE( "UTF8" )
MAKEDIR( "తెలుగు" )

As I said, this work only with Harbour. Not with xHarbour.

Even normal DIRECTORY() function works with Unicode names in Harbour but not with xHarbour.

If you plan to use Unicode, it is worth considering upgrading FWH.
After reading your post, we are planning to enhance FWH's directory functions to work with Unicode names.

How about it support xHarbour? I'm use xHarbour now.

You can view the folder name correctly with FileExplorer and also with Harbour's DIRECTORY() function. Not xHarbour

To start with, I have a directory c:\fwh\test, which is empty.
Now I ran this program, built with Harbour and FWH
Code (fw): Select all Collapse
#include "fivewin.ch"

function Main()

   FW_SetUnicode( .t. )
   HB_SETCODEPAGE( "UTF8" )
   MAKEDIR( "c:\fwh\test\" + "తెలుగు" )
   XBROWSER DIRECTORY( "c:\fwh\test\*.*", 'D' )

return nil


Result:


You can see the unicode name in the xbrowse (3rd row)

Screen shot from my File Explorer


You can not expect TotalCommander to display Unicode names.

can you try your example without fiwewin?

i can confirm you that total commander visualizes correctly files and directories in unicode format.

We provided Unicode support from 15.09 onwards.

How about it support xHarbour? I'm use xHarbour now.

We keep extending support for Unicode in FWH dir functions. But for full implementation Harbour is a better choice.
In FWH 16.04 new functions lIsDirW(), lMkDirW(), FileW(), lRmDirW(), lChDirW() provide Unicode support.

In my view it is a good idea to maintain file-system in English and handle data/contents in Unicode.

i have resolved substituting Harbour 3.0 with Harbour 3.2
Now the creation of the directories with unicode characters works fine!!
(hb3.2, fwh1507, bcc7)
thanks.
