Subject: Re: accented letters

Hi, Axel.

Thank you for the hints, but I think I didn't express myself clearly.

Actually, when the text is presented on the FXText control (coming from
a database), the control shows the accented letters pretty well.

The problem is when I try to insert new text. The application seems to
ignore the keystrokes relative to the accents, accepting just the
following keystroke, which is the actual letter.

I've already post this on the FXRuby users list, but they think it's a
Ruby matter.

I hope somebody could help me with this.

Cheers,
