Grabber

  Copy an ANSI or UTF-16 charater, paste it into Grabber and get hexidecimal code point. Lately, I mostly use for the occasional symbol with CHR$$(). LanguageAlphabets for individual letters with CHR$$(), or on-line translation for sentences/phrases.

Source Code

#compile exe
#dim all
%ID_InputTxtBx  = 1000
%ID_ExCaption1 = 900
%ID_ExCaption2 = 901
%ID_CharHexBtn  = 1001
%ID_CharHexTxtBx = 1002
%ID_ToClipBdBtn = 1003
%ID_ExitBtn     = 1004
#resource icon, 101, ".\Grab.ico"
callback function DlgCB() as long
  local TmpStr as wstring
  if cb.msg = %wm_command then
    select case as long cb.ctl
      case %ID_CharHexBtn
        control get text cb.hndl, %ID_InputTxtBx to TmpStr
        TmpStr = hex$(asc(TmpStr), 4)
        control set text cb.hndl, %ID_CharHexTxtBx, "&h" + TmpStr + "??"
      case %ID_ToClipBdBtn
        control get text cb.hndl, %ID_CharHexTxtBx to TmpStr
        clipboard set text TmpStr
      case %ID_ExitBtn
        dialog end cb.hndl
    end select
  end if
end function
