WebTextEdit with special characters
posted

 Hello,
We've got an WebTextEdit in a cell of an UltraWebGrid. The value of the field contains special characers as 'ä', 'ö' or 'ü'. When the user now edits the field, for example the 'ü' changes in '&#252'. The record also can't be updated in the database. How can we achieve that the 'ü' character is displayed correctly (if it is a correct 'ü' value in the field, the database update works).

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Stefan,

    I tested following:

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      if(!this.IsPostBack)
       this.UltraWebGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value = "äöü";
      object txt = this.UltraWebGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value;
      this.TextBox1.Text += this.UltraWebGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value;
    }

    <igtxt:WebTextEdit ID="WebTextEdit1" runat="server" BackColor="Red"></igtxt:WebTextEdit>
    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    <igtbl:UltraWebGrid ID="UltraWebGrid1" runat="server">
         <Rows>
           <igtbl:UltraGridRow>
             <Cells>
             <igtbl:UltraGridCell></igtbl:UltraGridCell><igtbl:UltraGridCell></igtbl:UltraGridCell><igtbl:UltraGridCell></igtbl:UltraGridCell>
            </Cells>
          </igtbl:UltraGridRow>
         </Rows>
         <Bands>
           <igtbl:UltraGridBand>
            <Columns>
             <igtbl:UltraGridColumn EditorControlID="WebTextEdit1" Type="Custom"></igtbl:UltraGridColumn>
             <igtbl:UltraGridColumn></igtbl:UltraGridColumn>
             <igtbl:UltraGridColumn></igtbl:UltraGridColumn>
           </Columns>
          </igtbl:UltraGridBand>
         </Bands>
         <DisplayLayout AllowUpdateDefault="Yes" RowHeightDefault="20px">
           <FrameStyle Height="80px" Width="325px"></FrameStyle>
         </DisplayLayout>
    </igtbl:UltraWebGrid>
    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" />

    When I ran page and edit value is first cell, then it appeared in editor same as in grid: 'äöü'. After that I tried to enter few special characters in WebTextEditor: Alt+137 (numpad) and Alt+129 produces: "ëü". After button click output TextBox showed special characters, but not html equivalents.

    In debugger the this.UltraWebGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value also showed characters, but not html flags.
