Utf8 problems

[cristiano]

Hi all,

I am having problems in converting QStrings default for Utf8, and the data typed for the users are entering with defect in database.

The language of the application is in (Brazil Portuguese).

Already I made some attempts without success more, as for example.

/********* Foo Test **********/
QTextCodec::setCodecForLocale ( QTextCodec::codecForName ( "UTF-8" ) );
QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings ( QTextCodec::codecForName ( "UTF-8" );

QString Test = textEdit3->text();
textEdit3->setText(QString::fromUtf8(Test));
/*******************************/

Some idea of as I can transform this.

What database do you use? Are you sure it uses UTF-8 as the encoding?

Hi,

Using PostgreSQL, and using UTF-8.

Using PostgreSQL, and using UTF-8.
You don't have to do anything to store strings correctly in PostgreSQL, as Qt sets "client_encoding" to Unicode when it connects to PostgreSQL and it stores QString data in Unicode, so the only thing you must worry about is to assign data to QStrings correctly.


textEdit3->setText(QString::fromUtf8(Test));
This actually corrupts the data.

I also face problems with the QComBox to list the data, the words appear with strange characters, example:

Word of the type in Portuguese Brazil “comunicação”

QString command = QString::fromUtf8("SELECT table FROM unicode ORDER BY unicode;");
QSqlQuery query(command);

while ( query.next() )
{
cbmCombo->insertItem(QString::fromUtf8(query.value( 0 ).toString()));
}

cbmCombo->insertItem(QString::fromUtf8(query.value( 0 ).toString()));
How about:
cbmCombo->insertItem( query.value( 0 ).toString() );?
