[Ironpython-users] [Newbee ironpython and WinForms] Problem of encodage with a ListBox (Winforms) - accented characters

[bruno gallart]

Hi,

I  am doing a spellchecker with the Hunspell ' library for .Net -- > 
Nhunspell for a language of south of Europe (WinForms).

My program runs well, it checks a Word's document, gives all the wrong 
words etc... With a button I pass all the wrong words and for every 
word, it gives me, in a ListBox,  all the suggestions for this word.

My problem:
If the suggestion is a word without accented character I can choose it 
and put it in the Word's document, it is fine ! But if this word has 
accented character when I choose it in the listbox (it is seen well with 
the accented character) I have an error message (in french) but it is a 
problem of  encoding (my translation not very good "impossible to give 
an encoding from the unicode page") in french ("Impossible de traduire 
les octets [E8] à l'index 0 à partir de la page de codes spécifiée en 
Unicode"). It is for exemple, for the words  " òme " , "òbra" etc...

I am a newbee in .NET and Winforms, I am quite lost
My questions :
My program is encoding in UTF-8,
What encoding gives the string coming from " listBox.SelectedItem " I 
think Unicode ?
The NHunspell's files for check  ( xx.aff and ww.dic ) are with " 
alphabet occidental" ("iso-8859-15")

What can I do ? I transform the encoding of the ListBox's string ... but 
how ? I don't know the command . Or there is an another thing to do ?

Thanks for your patience

Bruno
