[vwnc] [VW7.6] [Windows] Setting WindowsInputManager encoder onstart

You may want to consider VisualWorks 7.7 (which should be released Real Soon Now). The implementation for WindowsInputManager class>>initializeEncoder (in VisualWorks 7.7) reads:

initializeEncoder

Encoder := Win32SystemSupport vmPreferredEncoding = #UTF16

ifTrue: [ UnicodeCharacterEncoder new ]

ifFalse: [ CharacterEncoderPool.MS_CP_1252 ]

This goes along with other Locale enhancements (including more accurate information about the platform's locale and encoding settings, the better to set values in VisualWorks to match) and should be available in release soon. The number of locales included increases from 15 to over 400.

Hi!

When Locale subsystem starts, executing next message chain
Locale>> setUp
Locale>>platformHookup.
InputManager>>platformHookup.
WindowsInputManager>>initializeEncoder

and initializeEncoder implemented as

WindowsInputManager>>initializeEncoder
Encoder := CharacterEncoderPool.MS_CP_1252

Is smalltalk starts with input language different cp1252, for example
russian (1251), then
right input characters from keyboard is broken.

If switches between input languages then it becom works correctly.

I cannot lookup what I must do for correctly set WindowsInputManager
encoder.
I found WindowsInputManager>>charSet: , exist only this way?
