I'm writing a plugin and would like to display some OSD output in columns like many other plugins and vdr itself does. But special characters like '\t' for a tabulator are not working.
For examlple I've a cOSdMenu derived class and want to add an entry (simplified):
class cItems : public cOsdMenu { private: int item_type; char *header; char *name; public: cItems::cItems(int Type,const char *Text,const char *Header); virtual ~cItems(); virtual eOSState ProcessKey(eKeys Key); };
class cItemsEntry : public cOsdItem { private: char *entry; public: cItemsEntry(const char *Entry); ~cItemsEntry(); }
cItems::cItems(int Type,const char *Text,const char *Header) :cOsdMenu("") { item_type = Type; header = strdup(Header); name = strdup(Text);
[...]
// Display in columns cItemsEntry *entry = new cItemsEntry("Col1 \t Col2 \t Col3"); Add(entry);
Display(); }
cItemsEntry::cItemsEntry(const char *Entry) { entry = strdup(Entry); SetText(entry,false); }
The entry is displayed as "Col1", so the text behind the first tabular just disappears. Where is the error???
