How to use DialogFontName in CVI 6.0

[Martorana_Developer]

Hi,

   I have this problem: I need to use the Russian language in my application wrote in CVI 6.0. I found some problems to use the correct font.

I must to change the messageBox font only in my application and I saw that I need to set the default CVI font in the Windows Registry the following value:

//HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS/CVI Run-Time Engine/cvirte /DialogFontName (type: string, value: MAC C Swiss).

Also I have added the following value to use the correct font into menu: //HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS/CVI Run-Time Engine/cvirte /MenuFontName. Strangely the second key working good, but the first one have problem. The problem is that my application show the messages in Thaoma font (take from Windows).

Anybody can help me??

Ciao Martorana_developer,

when you write "I need to use the Russian language in my application wrote in CVI 6.0." do you mean to translate the whole menus (also the runtime menu) into Russian? I suggest you to take a look to the following document:

Using LabWindows/CVI Localization Utility with Single/Multiple Byte Languages

Hope this helps,

Fabio

The support for non-Latin characters wasn't very good in CVI 6.0. You should try downloading the latest version of the CVI runtime engine, here, and then let us know if you are still having a problem.
