Re: Text column support for UTF-8, UTF-16 and other multi-byte text encodings (variable width encodings)
Some other useful references regarding Uniscribe: https://microsoft.public.win32.programmer.international.narkive.com/0RySHbc0/exttextout-and-uniscribe Explains the exact parameters to have proper font fallback and linking. https://web.archive.org/web/20150824200252/http://www.microsoft.com/msj/1198...

Re: Text column support for UTF-8, UTF-16 and other multi-byte text encodings (variable width encodings)
Control chars and similar unprintable chars will be shown similar to SciTE (a dark box with the character's acronym), and missing glyphs from fonts, will be show similar to Firefox (a box with the hex numbers). This will make it obvious if it is a font problem or a character that has no visual repre...

Re: Text column support for UTF-8, UTF-16 and other multi-byte text encodings (variable width encodings)
Random note: Agreed, even though it's a huge amount of work to make your own edit control, it's better than trying to hack the standard Windows controls (and trying to catch their hard to predict and possibly changing behavior): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1955538/win32-how-to-custom-draw-an...

Re: Text column support for UTF-8, UTF-16 and other multi-byte text encodings (variable width encodings)
Display "non-printable" codepoints and code chart display in general Since the text-column of a hex editor is in a way a code chart display, it should follow the conventions for them. This will be one display mode of the text column, others will provide more support for complex script shaping, such...

Re: Text column support for UTF-8, UTF-16 and other multi-byte text encodings (variable width encodings)
I currently have a fallback font mechanism implemented, but it is still lacking in some cases. Compare with Notepad++ and Chrome/Firefox. However note these bugs: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/870 https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/3747 http...

Re: Text column support for UTF-8, UTF-16 and other multi-byte text encodings (variable width encodings)
On to the implementation: Assuming you want to make an edit control using Uniscribe and this control has a property like SelStart (or CaretPos), where the first WideChar (= UTF-16 code unit) is at position 0, you need to compute the caret's X pixel position at each change of SelStart. Pseudocode wo...

Re: Text column support for UTF-8, UTF-16 and other multi-byte text encodings (variable width encodings)
Correctly positioning the caret on screen (a lot of example code gets it wrong) The WinAPI function ScriptCPtoX has a parameter fTrailing, which influences whether the trailing edge of the cluster pointed at by iCP is used (fTrailing = True) or the leading edge is used (fTrailing = False). The lead...

Re: Extract String from known address in many files
If you are asking if there is a way to automate this, unfortunately there isn't, since there is no scripting support yet. But it should be relatively easy to write a small program for this, using filestreams. You could also try something similar to what was suggested here: https://forum.mh-nexus.de/...

Re: Relative offsets and possibly other structure assisting tools
There is another request for importing Intel Hex files that have gaps (also at the start). Something like this could be adapted, to have a folded region at the start (with undefined data), effectively "shifting" the starting offset. A structure view is planned as well. Currently, I develop UTF-8 sup...

Re: Text column support for UTF-8, UTF-16 and other multi-byte text encodings (variable width encodings)
Now, given this definition, you might assume that each left run/span has to be followed by a right run/span, and vice versa. However this is not the case. It is entirely possible to have several left to right scripts in sequence, for example in the following phrase, which will generate a sequence (i...

Bidi Algorithm and ScriptLayout Span is an inline element (which cannot cross block/paragraph boundaries), but it can word-wrap. For example this HTML-code: <html><head></head><body> <div>The following span is an <span style=" background-color:#ee3;">inline element</span>; its background has been c...
