ProMdlOriginGet return only part of path that contain ASCII symbols. If model is stored in D:\QAD\цццццц then ProMdlOriginGet will return only D:\QAD

Hi,

please ask PTC Support.

I haven't tried it myself yet but what type of parameters do you use?
In the manual it says

ProMdlOriginGet ( ProMdl handle, ProPath origin )

ProPath is defined as

typedef wchar_t ProPath[PRO_PATH_SIZE];

Do you handle the contents of ProPath as wchar_t (double byte character) or do you convert it to a single byte character?

Best regards,

Hi, when you write that you don’t see the Russian characters, where does this happen, message line, debug out, … ?

I'm guess, you're trying to convert wchar_t to char directly somewhere, like using ProWstringToString. You cannot convert encoding this way. Use WideCharToMultiByte function (or similar)  before applying this wide string value (of ProPath) to other Toolkit function wich consume narrow char (multibyte).

But there may be many aother reasons, e.g. depending on the Character Set of the project, even the encoding of the source files (such as text files and %s vs %w formatting). Hard to guess, if you don't share any information (piece of code e.g.).

ProMdlOriginGet  itself work correctly (example):
