Programming With the Text Encoding Conversion ManagerBased on the given text encoding specification for the converted text, creates and returns a Unicode converter object containing information required for converting strings from Unicode to the specified encoding.
pascal OSStatus CreateUnicodeToTextInfoByEncoding (
This function offers you an easier, alternative way to create a Unicode converter than the function CreateUnicodeToTextInfo. However, this method is less efficient internally because the destination text encoding you specify must be resolved into a Unicode mapping. Using this function, you cannot specify a version of Unicode, so a default version of Unicode is used; 16-bit format is assumed.
You pass a Unicode converter object returned from the function CreateUnicodeToTextInfoByEncoding to the function ConvertFromUnicodeToText or ConvertFromUnicodeToPString to identify the information to be used for the conversion. These two functions modify the contents of the Unicode converter object.
You pass a Unicode converter object returned from CreateUnicodeToTextInfoByEncoding to the function TruncateForUnicodeToText to identify the information to be used to truncate the string. This function does not modify the contents of the Unicode converter object.
