Goodmorning all,

Here's the question:

From the library: SysLibTargetVisu_v10.lib I use the following function to get translations from a dynamic text list.

GetText(stResult, nResultLength, stPrefix, dwID)

This works perfectly. The string variable stResult now has the correct translation.
However, now we have a Russian customer so I have to load Cyrillic characters (unicode).
I will have to use the following function:

GetUnicodeText(pResult, nResultLength, stPrefix, dwID)

As you can see this function does not return a string, but a pointer instead. the variable pResult is of the type: POINTER TO ARRAY [0..10000] OF UINT.

Does someone have an idea how to use this pointer? How do I generate a string from this array of UINT?

Help would be much appreciated

Thanks,

Stefan

use the ^symbol

it is above the 6

Sorry, I don't quite understand.

You mean something like this:

MyPointer : POINTER TO ARRAY[0..10000] OF UINT;
MyString : STRING;
GetUnicodeText(MyPointer, 50, 'Button', i);
MyString := MyPointer^;

It returns a type casting error:

Type mismatch: Cannot convert 'ARRAY [0..10000] OF UINT' to 'STRING(80)'.

This also fails to compile:

MyString := UINT_TO_STRING(MyPointer^);

PS

Shooter, I think I saw you at the Dutch Codesys Users Conference Thanks for your help.

Nobody knows?

Try this

MyPointer : POINTER TO ARRAY[0..10000] OF UINT;
pString : POINTER TO STRING;
MyString : STRING;
GetUnicodeText(MyPointer, 50, 'Button', i);
pString := ADR(MyPointer);
MyString := pString^; 

Thanks for your reply!

Unfortunately it didn't work. The dereferenced pointer to the string stays empty. Please look at the attached picture.

Do you have any more ideas? Who would know this?

I'll try once more to upload the screenshot...
