Good night.
. I have a Xbprinter() object.
. I created a XbpPresSpace() using as <oDevice> XbpPrinter() (ie.: 
oPrintPs := XbpPresSpace():new():create(oPrinter,...)
. I draw the strings using GraStringAt(oPrintPs, aStrinPos, cString)
. cString is in charset ANSI

Please, can someone say to me why cString is rendered as charset OEM?
What Can I do for to render it in charset ANSI?

Carlos,

>cString is in charset ANSI

Are you sure about this? Is this is a literal string or does it come from a 
data source or from user input?

>Please, can someone say to me why cString is rendered as charset OEM?

What is your application's CharSet setting? The string will be rendered 
based on the CharSet setting and might be subject to implicit (automatic) 
conversion. You can RTFM under "SET CHARSET" for details.

>What Can I do for to render it in charset ANSI?

Depending on your application's setting and the source and target of the 
string, you could probably use: "Set CharSet to ANSI" before you print, or 
you could use: "GraStringAt(oPrintPs, aStrinPos, ConvToAnsiCP(cString))" 
if your application needs to use "Set CharSet to OEM".

Hope that helps,

Andreas

Hello Andreas.
Good afternoon.
Many thanks.

. The AppSys() makes Set(_SET_CHARSET,CHARSET_ANSI)
. The string is a constant string (ie: 'ção')
. The first one statement in the class that I use for printing (the 
class is derived from Thread()) is Set(_SET_CHARSET, CHARSET_ANSI) in 
the method :init()

I will need to debug the app for to know if it has any charset changing.

Hello Andreas:
good afternoon.
After long study I discovered the problem that I reported here.
The problem is how you start the thread.
If someone wants to see the problem is only to compile the test.prg 
attached.
There are the files below in the attached file:
1) Printfor.prg -> is the thread that was used for to print the report.
2) Project.xpj
3) PrtFuncs.prg -> auxiliary functions
4) Report.zip -> contains the formated report for to be interpreted if 
the original had been deleted
5) Test.prg -> for testing. Please take a look at it before to test
6) Wk5CAAC7.prn -> the original report
