CharTable
The CharTable function allows to get information about installed character
tables.
int WINAPI CharTable( int Command, char *Buffer, int BufferSize );
Parameters
Command
Either the number of the requested character table or one of the following
commands (the FARCHARTABLE_COMMAND enum):
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| FCT_DETECT | Autodetect the character table for given text |
Buffer
If Command is equal to FCT_DETECT, specifies the address
of a buffer with text data. Otherwise, specifies the address of a
CharTableSet structure that receives information
about the requested character table.
BufferSize
If Command is FCT_DETECT, BufferSize should
contain the size of the buffer with text data to analyze. Otherwise it is the size of the
CharTableSet structure.
Return value
-1, if the requested table is not present or autodetection failed.
If successful, the function returns the number of the requested table and fills the structure pointed by Buffer. In FCT_DETECT mode it returns the number of the detected table and does not change Buffer data.
If successful, the function returns the number of the requested table and fills the structure pointed by Buffer. In FCT_DETECT mode it returns the number of the detected table and does not change Buffer data.
Remarks
- To enumerate all FAR character tables, start with Command equal to 0 and increment it until the return value will be -1.
- The CharTableSet structure is filled with OEM data if there where problems while reading settigs of some table (when Command does not equals FCT_DETECT).
