How to add special characters to LCD using eGUI, D4D

[lordtheo]

Hi Guys

I would like to add a language other than English to my app.

I am using LCD with eGUI.

For example: how could I display french characters with accents such as: à, ç, é, à etc...

Any help will be welcome

Best Regards,

Dear Theodore Black,

Hope you are doing great.

please check this post https://community.nxp.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/330064-2-374655/Getting_started_eGUI%20.pdf , is an explanation about eGUI but there is a section that explains how to add new strings (vi) .

Also I the Freescale Embedded GUI Image Converter Utility  have place to add new strings.

Please tell me if this works.

Have a great day

Best Regards.

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan

Sorry for asking again. I am still having trouble with the french characters. I followed the link you mentioned but without success.

I was able to create strings.c and strings.h using Freescale Embedded GUI Image Converter Utility  but I don't know how to call the character to be displayed on the screen.

I attached the strings.c and strings.h

please have a look if you have time.

Or if you do not have time just let me know by step how I can display this latin character <à> on the LCD

Best Regards,
