.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / July 2007StringInfo class
Hi, I am looking for a way to get the contectual forms from Arabic Script. If you use a richtextbox in VB.net, and you fill it with a a unicode string which contains the isolated characters, the control takes care of the "shaping", it shows the approriate glyphs ( isolated, final, initial or medial ) I would like to do the same in code, input isolated chars and output correct glyphs. For example : arabic letter BEEH (067B) when used at the end of a word (final) becomes FB53. Wat is the correct way for doing this ? * the new stringinfo class ? * uniscribe ? * .... Any help would be appriciated !! Greetings. I'm not sure why you would want to do this. The answer I would have thought is that you should use only isolated characters and leave it up to the UI to display correctly. As I understand it, the Arabic presentation forms (and equivalents for other alphabets/abjads/abugidas etc.) are really only in Unicode for backward compatibility. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > Greetings. Sorry I think I partially misunderstood your question and thought you wanted to convert a string containing isolated characters to one containing presentation forms and then pass to the UI. This you certainly do not want to do. Leave the string alone and leave it up to the rendering engine to display correctly. Have a look into Uniscribe (I don't know myself what it's all about or what its capabilities are). > I'm not sure why you would want to do this.

Clive, I have to get hold of the presentation forms to use the converted string in a program ( .DLL ) that does not convert the characters like for example RichTextBox does ( labelprinter software ). > I'm not sure why you would want to do this.
