Unicode using .net labels and Rich Text Box

JoshRayeske · ‎01-31-2022

Hello,

I'm working on a project that must support localization (text in multiple languages). I have downloaded the Unicode toolkit and changed the Region settings of Windows (which messed up many of the labels in the source code). I also thought of using a .net container and writing the UTF-8 byte array to it. This works well with a Rich Text Box, but for some reason the .net Label cuts off three characters (see screenshot)

The .net Rich Text Box works well for displaying text and having the user enter values, but I like the "read-only" nature of the label when I just need a ... label.

I have attached the simple VI (LabVIEW 2020). I also have to check Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support in the Windows Region settings to make the characters appear correctly

Any ideas why the .net label will not display the entire byte array?

Thanks,

Josh
