| Description: |
When serving strings to an external application, they are
served in the internal tcl interp encoding. This causes
data to be erroneous.
For example, set the following on a wish:
package require dde
dde servername test
set test "this is a test ñáéíóú"
and open Word, and create a field like follows:
{DDEAUTO TclEval test test}
You will see the wrong display of the test string.
A very simple solution is to apply the
Tcl_UtfToExternalDString conversion before returning the
intended string.
Find attached a tclWinDde.c,v 1.8, as of 8.4.0, with the
applied suggestion.
