    We are using “Unicode Spread ADO 8.0.28 (OLDEDB)” and having issues that search with “Umlaute” and case intensitivity is not working correctly.

    The call is: "fpSpread1.SearchCol(ByVal lCol As Long, ByVal lRowStart As Long, ByVal lRowEnd As Long, ByVal Text As String, ByVal SearchFlags As SearchFlagsConstants) "

    e.g.

    The string that exists is: “Löwentage”.

    lRow = objSpread.SearchCol(12, lRow, -1, “löwentage”, 2) => found!

    lRow = objSpread.SearchCol(12, lRow, -1, “LöwenTage”, 2) => found!

    lRow = objSpread.SearchCol(12, lRow, -1, “lÖwentage”, 2) => not found!

    In other words: search for Umlaute only works if the Umlaut is exactly written the way it exists, case insensitivity is not working.

    Hi Henri,

    I am not able to replicate this issue at my end. It searches fine for “lÖwentage” with no issues with SearchCol method. I used following code:

    
    Private Sub Command1_Click()
       Dim ret As Long
    
            ' Search for exact match unless partial match specified
            If Check1.Value = False Then
                ret = fpSpread1.SearchCol(1, 0, -1, Text1.Text, SearchFlagsNone)
            Else
                ret = fpSpread1.SearchCol(1, 0, -1, Text1.Text, SearchFlagsPartialMatch)
            End If
            ' Move cell with search text into upper left, if found
            If ret <> -1 Then
                fpSpread1.ShowCell 1, ret, PositionUpperLeft
                fpSpread1.SetActiveCell 1, ret
            End If
           
    
    End Sub
    
    Private Sub Form_Load()
    
    
    fpSpread1.Col = 1
    fpSpread1.Row = 2
    fpSpread1.Text = "Löwentage"
    
    Text1.Text = "lÖwentage"
    
    End Sub
    
    
    

    I have also attached the sample application for your reference, please have a look.

    Thanks,

    Thanks Deepak,

    also in your code the search does not work if partial match is activated! (what we need).

    ret = fpSpread1.SearchCol(1, 0, -1, Text1.Text, SearchFlagsPartialMatch)

    returns -1

    Thanks

    Hi Henri,

    With the application I sent in my last response, I am not able to replicate this issue.

    It has a checkbox which decides whether or not perform the search with ‘SearchFlagsPartialMatch’.

    ‘ret’ returned with ’ ret = fpSpread1.SearchCol(1, 0, -1, Text1.Text, SearchFlagsPartialMatch)’ is ‘0’ and not ‘-1’.

    I would request you to please test the issue with the given sample application and let me know if you can still replicate this issue. I have used Spread COM v8.0.28.

    Thanks,

    Hi thats what i said. It does not work with your application at our end. What would be the cause? Regional settings or something like that?

    Hi Henri,

    I tested it with English regional settings on a Windows XP machine. Please let me know your environment.

    Thanks,

    Hi Deepak,

    as Henri currently has a few days off I will give an answer to your question:

    We are mainly using Windows 7 and Windows 10 with a German Windows installation and German regional settings. And we don’t use Windows XP anymore.

    Thanks for your support!

    Cheers

    Hello,

    I am not able to replicate this issue on a Windows 7 machine with German regional settings. Please refer to the attached sample application and video.

    Could you please check it on an English machine and let me know?

    Thanks,

    Hi Deepak,

    same on an English version for me. Any additional idea which setting could cause the issue?

    Here is a link to a gif showing it: https://amily-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/henri_amily_onmicrosoft_com/EatWy73XEIdOuoD0JJ1KPRgBRPfm7ecefojvI-WxPft_AQ?e=Dq2l2W

    Hi Henri,

    Could you please check this issue on some other machine and let me know if the results are still the same? I have tested it on a Windows 7 and Windows XP machine and it works fine here at my end as shown in the video.

    Thanks,

    Hello,

    You can also check the code in the sample application I gave to see if the code runs fine for Partial match search too by putting a break point.

    Thanks,

    Deepak Sharma

    Hi Deepak,

    that’s just what we did in the first place but to no avail.

    Setting a break point on

    ret = fpSpread1.SearchCol(1, 0, -1, Text1.Text, SearchFlagsPartialMatch)
    and then stepping over this line of code gets us ```

    -1

    
    Best regards

    Hi Oliver,

    In that case I would request you to test it on an English machine, and let me know. It looks more specific to the German OS installed on your machine.

    Thanks,

    Hi Deepak,

    we have tested it on an English machine (see my comment from May 3rd).

    Any kind of debug log we could create for you?

    Hi Henri,

    I will further check with our team if it can be checked on a German machine and let you know.

    Thanks,

    Am I right that we will never receive a reply about the issue? Can we have the a statement for our customer please?

  • Posted 4 December 2018, 11:24 pm EST

    Hello,

    It seems the dev team has not reached the final conclusion on this. I have asked for the same. I will inform you immediately once I hear from them.

    Thanks,

    This is a common issue. I especially face this issue whenever error codes occur on my laptop. Shall I fix it with https://errorcode0x.com/error-code-0x80071a90/ and then try it again?

  • Posted 27 January 2019, 10:23 pm EST

    Hi,

    You can try the solutions suggested in the posts you shared. However I am yet to receive an update from development team about the escalated case.

    I have pinged the developer and asked for the same I will inform you as soon as I hear anything on this.

    Thanks,

    Deepak Sharma
