Hello all,
I'm looking for a Win32 equivalent of the .Net Encoding.GetEncoding Method to be used in Delphi7.
What I would like to achieve is to convert a Codepage ID (ie.: 28592) to a Codepage name (iso-8859-2 in this case).
I've found a Win32 function called GetCPInfoEx, but that returns a long CodePage name, and I need the short one, like the ones listed on this page: (see Name column) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding.aspx
Thank you!
Are you looking for the IANA official names? Since you want them correlated to Windows CP identifiers, I don't think you can do better than this table.
type
TCPInfoEx = record
MaxCharSize: UINT;
DefaultChar: array[0..MAX_DEFAULTCHAR - 1] of Byte;
LeadByte: array[0..MAX_LEADBYTES - 1] of Byte;
UnicodeDefaultChar: WideChar;
CodePage: UINT;
CodePageName: array[0..MAX_PATH - 1] of Char;
end;
function GetCPInfoEx(CodePage: UINT; Flags: DWORD; var lpCPInfoEx: TCPInfoEx): BOOL;
stdcall; external 'kernel32.dll' name 'GetCPInfoExA';
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
CPInfoEx: TCPInfoEx;
begin
if GetCPInfoEx(28592, 0, CPInfoEx) then
ShowMessage(CPInfoEx.CodePageName);
end;
You need to use IMultiLanguage::GetCodePageInfo, exported as part of MLang.dll. It's included with IE4 and above. You can create the import library yourself using Delphi's Import Component... command, or grab MultiLanguage_TLB.pas from Colin Wilson's low-level utilities package.
function CodePageToCharSet(ACodePage: Cardinal): string;
var
MimeCPInfo: TMimeCPInfo;
MultiLanguage: IMultiLanguage;
begin
if Succeeded(CoCreateInstance(CLASS_CMultiLanguage, nil, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IMultiLanguage, MultiLanguage)) and
Succeeded(MultiLanguage.GetCodePageInfo(ACodePage, MimeCPInfo)) then
Result := string(MimeCPInfo.wszWebCharset)
else
Result := 'US-ASCII';
end;
Here is my look-up table with code, feel free to use it.

TCPData = record
CPID: Integer;
CPName: String;

MaxEncodings = 140;

Thanks to everyone for the answers, but this proved to be the only usable solution in this case...
