Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride ReadOnly Property CharacterSet As Integer

public abstract int CharacterSet { get; }

public:
virtual property int CharacterSet {
    int get () abstract;

/** @property */
public abstract int get_CharacterSet ()

Remarks

When CapSelectCharacterSet is true, CharacterSet can be set with one of the character set numbers found in the CharacterSetList property.

CharacterSet is typically initialized to the default video character set used by each video unit online. It should then be kept current by the service object while the device is enabled.

CharacterSet is updated during the SelectCharacterSet method.

The character set number is one of the following ranges or values:

Value

Description

Range 101 - 199

A device-specific character set that does not match a code page, or the ASCII or Windows ANSI character sets.

Range 400 - 990

Code page; matches one of the standard values.

Unicode

The character set supports UNICODE. The value of this constant is 997.

Ascii

The ASCII character set, supporting the ASCII characters between 20-hex and 7F-hex. The value of this constant is 998.

Windows

The Windows ANSI character set. The value of this constant is 999. This is exactly the same as the Windows code page 1252.

Range 1000 and higher

Windows code page; matches one of the standard values.
