Wrong character set during paste

SteinL

I have an WPRichText compoent, and when I paste text from other windows applications into it, special characters are not copied correctly. I use the TWPAPaste action for pasting.

The problem seems to be that the data is encoded with iso-8859-1 character set, but WP interprets it as unicode. For instance, when the original text is

"Kunden ønsker opplæring på kurs"

it becomes

"Kunden Ã¸nsker opplÃ¦ring pÃ¥ kurs"

after pasting. Oddly enough, the characters are correct when I paste from some windows applications (notepad), but becomes wrong when I paste from others (outlook, word, internet explorer etc.)

Any suggestions??

Hi,

this is a general problem. If the source application creates unicode on the clipboard it works, if it creates RTF thats fine, too. ANSI dfoes not cover that special chars though.

But when I paste to other application in works correct.
May be it is possible to detect what is in clipboard- Unicode or Ansi?

Solution: Set ClipboardOptions.wpcoPasteHTMLWhenAvailable to false. The characters only become wrong when formatted text is pasted <i>AS HTML</i>.

If wpcoPasteHTMLWhenAvailable and wpcoDontPasteRTF both is set to false, text from other windows applications is pasted as RTF, and then special characters are pasted correctly.

ClipboardOptions wpcoPasteHtmlWhenAvailable and wpcoDontPasteRtf are both set default to false and the characters are pasted wrong if text is copied from HTML.

Hi,

Better not use wpcoPasteHtmlWhenAvailable, the RTF export from IE for example is a lot better. HTML pasting can also cause nested tables.
