Thanks a lot for giving me an answer so fast.I changed my Glib::ustring::insert method to text.insert(position++, 1, gdk_keyval_to_unicode(event->keyval));and called the PangoLayout::index_to_pos() with the byte-position,instead of the character position. So far it works.Unfortunately Glib::ustring doesnt support methods to converta byte-to-character and character-to-byte position. :-( I would like to integrate input methods, but dont have any idea.Isnt there a small example for that ? thanks !! -------- Original-Nachricht --------Datum: Wed, 28 Feb 2007 20:18:33 +0100Von: "David Nečas (Yeti)" <yeti@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>An: gtk-list@xxxxxxxxxxx: Betreff: Re: error in pangoLayout->index_to_pos() ? > On Wed, Feb 28, 2007 at 07:53:40PM +0100, thom_schu@xxxxxx wrote:> > Im trying to implement something like a TextEntry.> > So I need to compute the current position of the cursor.> > For this Im using PangoLayout::index_to_pos().> > Everything works fine, as long as the string doesnt have> > any special characters.
