Hi, Just for curiosity I tried BOA with wxPythonWIN32-2.3.3.1u-Py22 on = WindowsXP. I found that 1. Clicking on the help book results in the following error: c:\projects\wx\src\common\ffile.cpp(140): assert "wxFalse" failed: = invalid parameter 2. Defining Hungarian keyboard layout on XP and hitting a character with = accent mark in the BOA editor leads to the disappearence of all previous = text. (Looks like the character code is not converted to UNICODE but = ASCII in the 128-255 region.) Are these mean that BOA does not yet support UNICODE or should I just = set something to use that?

Hi Géza, When the first unicode build of wxPython was released some time ago I did check in some changes to CVS to fix problems I encountered. But I did not run into the issues you mention here. Did you check with the CVS version of Boa? Boa 0.1.0 doesn't work well with the unicode build. I hope to have some time for Boa by the end of next week and will look into these issues then. > Géza Groma wrote: > > Hi, > > Just for curiosity I tried BOA with wxPythonWIN32-2.3.3.1u-Py22 on > WindowsXP.

One workaround would possibly be to convert the help strings passed to it to normal strings (with str()) Anyway, this sounds like a wxPython bug. > 2.

Please test this case in the wxPython demo's STC section: wxStyledTextCtrl_2 and tell me if that behaves the same. > Are these mean that BOA does not yet support UNICODE or should I just > set something to use that? It's supposed to work, but I don't use the unicode build so there might still be a few problems lurking here and there. > > Géza Groma > Institute of Biophysics > Biological Research Center of Hungarian Academy of Sciences > 6701 Szeged, Hungary PS, it's 'Boa', not 'BOA'.
