Non ASCII characters in CFString litteral, HELP!
"I am puzzled by this warning in some programs. I am French and use a lot
of accented chars. Worse, although these accented chars get typed correctly

TextField they appear as garbage." |

"Look in ControlDefinitions.h Are you using
CreateEditUnicodeTextControl() and CFStringRefs?
And is you are still using Dialog Manager, you can put them in your
dialogs with CNTL resources, once you know that:
kControlEditUnicodeTextProc = 912,
kControlEditUnicodeTextPasswordProc = 914 " |

Carbon List: Re: Basic CFRelease() Questions
"Don't be afraid to use it, but remember you can NOT use 8-bit ASCII characters
with it, for example the TM or Copyright characters. If you need those in a CFString,
use CFStringCreateWithCString(), pass kCFStringEncodingMacRoman, and pray  ." |

#include <CFString.h>
CFSTR - CFString Reference
Declared as: CFStringRef CFSTR (const char *cStr);
"Creates an immutable string from a constant compile-time string."
| Code: | #ifdef __CONSTANT_CFSTRINGS__
#define CFSTR(cStr) ((CFStringRef) __builtin___CFStringMakeConstantString ("" cStr ""))

#endif |
"CFSTR(), not being a "Copy" or "Create" function, does not return a new
reference for you. So, you should not release the return value." |

adc - Supporting Unicode Input in Applications
"In this Apple event model of text event handling, your application calls
WaitNextEvent() and passes low-level keyboard events to the Text Services
Manager through the function TSMEvent()."
"If your application does not currently support the Text Services Manager,
you should first implement support for the Text Services Manager."
Text Services Manager
"TSMEven() no longer needs to be called, so it is not included in Carbon." |
