Display Extended ASCII in listview

[aagarwal8]

Hi,

I want to display the extended ASCII charset in the list view (in List
mode), but when i assign any of the Ex. ASCII chars to the listview
item text, it renders blank.

Any idea how i can display the Ex ASCII chars in list view.

Regards,
Ankit!!

It should, if the strings you are feeding it is encoded as UTF8/Unicode.
Which specific characters is missing?

ListView, like all other items in C# is made for Unicode/UTF8 string
which covers most languages and character-sets.

The only limitation in displaying such text is if you are using a font
which is not covering the character range, - Tahoma is a good choice.

the character i used is Alt+0172 (¬) and it doesnt show in the
listview

I suggest you try to find what Unicode character it is, and then check
for fonts which support it.

Then you should check what font you are using for the listview, as that
is a unicode character. Most stanard fonts support it, even MS Serif and
MS Sans Serif.

If you have a font that supports it, then you should check if you
actually got the character into the string correctly.

It should, if the strings you are feeding it is encoded as UTF8/Unicode.

Not to be picky, but this is tricky enough...

String are actually not encoded, they are just unicode. Internally they
are stored as 16-bit character codes (with surrogate pairs to support
the full 21 bit character range).

If you encode a string you don't have a string any more, you have a byte
array.
