Editor Additions

[Nitin Kapoor]

Hello everyone,

I have an editor written in C language now I have to make further
addition to it in order to provide multi language support.

In order to implement Thai language I need to control the cursor
positing , I don't know if some one here has worked with Thai language
or not but in Thai language 1 display cell can be made of 1-3
characters so my cursor should move accordingly.


I don't have any idea how to start with this, has any one done some
thing like this here before, how can the cursor positing be
controlled.

Any suggestions

Thanks & Regards

Was the editor a text-based editor or a GUI based one ?

To me , this question seems like tightly related to the
implementation, as I don't really think the C standard defines anything
related to cursors. That said, you may want to check out the
implementation specific newsgroups ( borlandc, ms vc++ - whatever !! ).

HTH .
