Hi,

I am new to powerplant. I am to localize an application in polish,
greek etc. I’ve almost done 90% of the code adaptation to use CFString
in all the text control using SetCFDescriptor.

The probleme remains when I want the text to be displayed in the right
encoding in the title tabs.

Anyone help ?

Thx

Here's the HIToolbox way of changing the tab's name with a CFString:

ControlTabInfoRecV1 tabInfo = { kControlTabInfoVersionOne,
0, CFSTR("tab name") };
SInt16 tabIndex = 1; // 1-based index of the tab to change
status = ::SetControlData(tabControlRef, tabIndex,
kControlTabInfoTag, sizeof(tabInfo), &tabInfo);

Thanks Isaac.

So if I understand correcty I can use the system call on a ControlRef.
I've explored the PowerPlant objects hierarchy but I can't figure out
which object to use as a ControlRef. Do I use my LTabsControl or my
LMutlipaneView or anything else ?

With PowerPlant you can do this:

tabsControl->SetDataTag(tabIndex, kControlTabInfoTag,
sizeof(tabInfo), &tabInfo);
