groupBar bug

[yanggaiping]

We found groupBar control has a bug ,when we use it in WINDOWS98 system.
If the GroupViewItem is Chinese,then its last two Chinese is cut off, four Chinese change two,
five Chinese change three. This can''t be accepted by the customer. Please fix it as soon as possible.

Hi,

Please provide us more information on the test environment for testing this application. Are you using Chinese IME to input Chinese characters or are you using a Chinese version of Windows? I would appreciate if you could send us a sample application with GroupViewItem.Text property having Chinese text that shows this error. Also let me know the sequence of steps to reproduce this error. We appreciate your feedback and thanks for your cooperation.

Hi Yang, I have tested for this issue here, and could see the problem with the GroupBar control while using Chinese text. The display of Chinese text was however slightly different from your screenshots. This is how the application looked in our test lab : ScreenShots I have notified the development team about this problem, and will keep you posted. We appreciate you patience and cooperation.

Hi Yang,

This is to inform you that we have done several related changes in the GroupBar control in this regard. Earlier the GroupBar control used the Platform invoke (pinvoke) service of Win32 API to display characters on it. But we have realised that this approach does not diplay characters of variable width (such as in Chinese) correctly. So we have now modified our code to use the .NET APIs instead. We expect this to take care of your problem. We will test this fix and let you know. We very much appreciate your feedback on this issue, and thanks for your patience.
