Diacritical marks in ActiveX component [message #465682]

Hi there!

I have a very strange problem regarding diacritial marks (e.g. the ` in
à) in an ActiveX component that I integrated as Eclipse Editor. It is
not possible to enter characters with diacritical marks into this component.

The normal process to enter characters with this marks is to first hit
the key for the diacritical mark (´) and then hit the key for the
character (a). The result is one inserted character decorated with the
diacritical mark (á).

When I use the ActiveX component outside of Eclipse, e.g. in a HTML page
in the IE, everything works without problems. Other components (e.g. the
Excel ActiveX component) work even within Eclipse correctly.

I added an KeyDown listener to the composite that contains the OleSite
of my ActiveX component. It does not get an event for the first
keystroke (the mark) but only for the second keystroke (the character).

Has anyone an idea where to start looking for the problem?

What version of Eclipse are you using?

It could be the same as :

I tested the bugfix for #118909 locally in a runtime workbench but I
never got into Display.messageProc(). The dead key is consumed in
Widget.wmKeyDown (the instance of OleClientSite that contains the
ActiveX component) exactly the same way as dead keys are consumed in SWT
widgets:

if (OS.IsWinNT) {
if ((mapKey & 0x80000000) != 0) return null;
}...

in line 1323 returns null.

I also found another strange effect: I hit the dead key within the
ActiveX control, then focus another application (e.g. Notepad) and hit a
vowel key => the character is inserted into Notepad with the correct
diacritical mark. The dead key seems not to get lost.

So maybe the ActiveX control uses some special method for key handling.
I'll contact the provider about this. Software integration is a little
like Ping Pong ;-)

Thanks for your help Veronika!
