XCharMap Description

In some apps, the user may want to select how to display certain characters. For example, in text editors, it is common to have option to display whitespace (space and tab). When I had this requirement recently, I tried to use Microsoft's Character Map to allow user to select the display characters.Unfortunately, unless you are willing to use clipboard, there is no way to seamlessly integrate Character Map into your app. So here is XCharMap, my implementation of Character Map as a convenient dialog that you can customize to meet your needs. The XCharMap dialog was developed to display 256 characters in selected font. In dialog caption, the character code under the cursor is displayed in hex, octal, and decimal. Below character grid are optional UI elements, which you can remove from the display by calling XCharMap APIs. When user left-clicks (or right-clicks) a character, it is displayed in left-click/right-click box. The last character that was left-clicked may be copied to Characters to copy edit box by clicking on Select. Clicking on Copy will then transfer contents of edit box to clipboard.
