String displaying as Hex
November 26, 2019 02:45AM
Hi All.

I'm using Windev 24 and I have upset something, so now all my strings in the development environment are displaying in hex format.
If I copy and paste into editor and convert hex to ascii, it shows the string value.
Problem in debug window as well as if hover over the variable in the code window.

Restarted project, and windows, but still the same.

Any ideas appreciated.

Found my problem.

There is a button on top right side of debug screen which toggles the display between hex and text.
Waste of over an hour....
Wonder why it's there.
Anybody care to comment why one would need to display text in hexadecimal.

Hi Mark,

Typically when doing API calls or using Windows constants, the hex notation can become useful.
If you ever do C/C++ dev you will notice hex notation is used quite often.

Cheers,

Peter Holemans
