Program Encoding Setting

[lollo0296]

Hi Barry,

I've been enjoying your ILEditor at my workplace for months now.

I have just one major complaint about it: I work in Germany and the old code of my company is packed with characters like [ 'ä', 'ö', 'ü', 'ß', '§' ]. ILEditor can't display these characters correctly and the code looks like a mess.

Take a look at this before / after screenshot:

Changes:

• Configuration node encoding added
• 2 labels and 1 ComboBox added to Component: Forms/Connection in tab: ILEditor
• If no encoding is set from User, this is set to standard ISO-8859-1 in method DoEditorsDefaults()
• Program sets its property Encoding at start on Main() function

// Set Program Encoding
int encodingId = Convert.ToInt32(Config.GetValue("encoding"));
Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(encodingId);

It would be awesome if you merge my code in and make a new ILEditor release 😆

Wow, this is a super change.

Of course... there hasn't been a release to ILEditor in quite sometime but as this is quite important I'll take a look into getting it in over the weekend for you.

@lollo0296 What is 28591 by default? Is that ISO-8859-1?

[lollo0296]

@worksofliam Yes, it is ISO-8859-1. Same default setting you already had there. Please refer to the Microsoft docs for a full list of encoding IDs.

And thank you man
