copied!<p>Although this is an old thread, I just spent most of this morning searching for a method for identifying the Windows <em>codepage</em> given a specific <em>charset</em> ID (when the current keyboard layout/locale is NOT set to that charset). I figured that the sample code might be of use to others looking for similar information.</p> <p>In my case I wanted to map a charset value such as 161 (Greek) to equivalent Windows codepage, 1253. After a <em>lot</em> of digging I came up with the following:</p> <pre><code>/* * Convert a font charset value (e.g. 161 - Greek) into a Windows codepage (1253 for Greek) */ UINT CodepageFromCharset(UINT nCharset) { UINT nCodepage = CP_ACP; CHARSETINFO csi = {0}; // Note, the symbol charset (2, CS_SYMBOL) translates to the symbol codepage (42, CP_SYMBOL). // However, this codepage does NOT produce valid character translations so the ANSI charset // (ANSI_CHARSET) is used instead. This appears to be a known problem. // See this discussion: "More than you ever wanted to know about CP_SYMBOL" // (http://www.siao2.com/2005/11/08/490495.aspx) if (nCharset == SYMBOL_CHARSET) nCharset = 0; DWORD* lpdw = (DWORD*)nCharset; // Non-zero return value indicates success... if (TranslateCharsetInfo(lpdw, &csi, TCI_SRCCHARSET) == 0) { // This should *not* happen but just in case make sure we use a valid default codepage. #ifdef _UNICODE csi.ciACP = 1200; #else csi.ciACP = CP_ACP; #endif } return csi.ciACP; } </code></pre> <p>Hope this is useful for others!</p> <p>John</p>
