That sourceforge site needs updating man.  Can you at least put a note 
there on prerequisites, if you are going to leave 0.2.3 in the file list ?

Impossible to use accented letters such as 'ãõéá' with Boa.

Hi,

Last time it was just disabling the Num Lock to be able to type some chars,
is there any hint like that to be able to type letters with diacriticals?

When I type "á", Boa shows "a". It works with "ç" but thats a separate key
on the keyboard, not a composition of keys... 

When the "Num Lock" key is on, the windows start changing "randomly".
There's no error/debug message on the console and I'm running CVS as of
this morning.

Re: Need help with Boa Start-up error

Hi Mike,

The current version of Boa is 0.2.8, but you have to get it from CVS.

You should also use the stable version of wxPython, i.e. the 2.4 serious 
as Riaan has not got around to update Boa to 2.5.

I understand that he is working on getting a release out 0.3 which 
should be available for download whenever it is ready.  As per messages 
from Riaan either here or on Sourceforge he will then start on creating 
a Boa version which will work with 2.5 or morelikely with the stable 
version 2.6 of wxPython.

See you
Werner

P.s. Following a copy of an old message on sourceforge which might help 
you in how to get Boa from CVS.

Re: Impossible to use accented letters such as 'ãõéá' with Boa.

Hi Jorge,

Can you be more specific, I don't have problem entering special 
characters on the keyboard and/or using Alt-nnn (i.e. Alt-192 = À) which 
shows correctly in Boa designer when I use it e.g. in a wxFrame title field.

See you
Werner

P.S. I am using Boa 0.2.8 from CVS - but haven't updated for a view 
weeks, will do it in a moment just to see.

Hi Jorge,

Just updated to latest CVS copy of Boa and I can still enter À.

I'm running it on Linux and I press the "~" and "a" to get an "ã". I don't
use the numeric codes since it would be overkill and counterproductive to
write portuguese :-)

I'll try the ALT-192 thing... And it didn't worked. 

When I use other graphical symbols (such as "ª", "º", etc.) they appear in
gray. 

What specific details you want? 

My keyboard is a Brazilian ABNT 2, my KDE is configured to work with pt_BR,
using ISO-8859-1, I'm running Python 2.3.3 and wxPython 2.4.2.4. 

I can enter those chars correctly on wxGlade or my own wxPython

Can you set your environment to something other than plain English and try
using dead keys for that? 

Pressing '´' and 'a' should give you 'á', for example. 

Be seeing you,

As far as I know this is a module or option you specify in your XFree86  
config. Pretty cool in linux. But Windows (and OSX) has similar sortcuts  
to do this... I think you can set your "input locale" in windows to  
international which will enable similar functionality.

Try: Alt-0192 (For some reason I remember there was a four-digit code

I don't use Windows, I'm sorry if it wasn't clear before.

All other apps, as I said, work perfectly on Linux, but not Boa... 

Is there any option to make it print what it is getting from the Keyboard so
that I can send you something more detailed?

I know it. I tried that. Didn't work.

I don't remember exactly the reason for the leading zero, but there was
one :-)

Thanks,

Hi Jorge,

Sorry, don't have any ideas, I am on Windows XP and I don't know 
anything about Linux, hopefully Riaan can help you on this.

And yes I should have said ALT-0192.

See you
Werner
