Unity 4.2 beta NGUI dynamic fonts not displaying non latin characters in metro

Hi everyone,

Regarding the error CS1061: 'EventDelegate.Callback' does not contain a definition for 'Method' mentioned above:

I solved it temporarily with a quick hack by writing a minimalistic plugin for WinRT.

The WinRT plugin has the following method:
public static string GetMethodName(Object callback)
{
    Delegate d = callback as Delegate;
    return d.GetMethodInfo().Name;
}

In the standard plugin for Non-WinRT builds this method looks like:
public static string GetMethodName(Object callback)
{
   Delegate d = callback as Delegate;
   return d.Method.Name;
}


Depending on whether you are making a build for WinRT or another platform Unity is automatically choosing the correct plugin.

BTW: one can't work with a conditional compile because GetMethodInfo() is not recognized by Unity's transformation from Mono to WinRT's .Net.

Perhaps that's useful for the one or other NGUI user.

There is an even simpler solution available that requires no plugin.

    private void ShowInfoAboutCurrentCallback()
    {
#if !UNITY_EDITOR && UNITY_METRO
        Debug.Log(callback.GetMethodInfo().Name);
#else
        Debug.Log (callback.Method.Name);
#endif
    }

On all other platforms it seems, that Unity supplies it's customized mono implementation. But not on WinRT.

Hope this helps,

Stephan

Nope. Not working for me. I tried Method an GetMethodInfo(). I can't compile for Metro. Am I missing anything here?

Hi there,

This is a solution that work for PC, Windows Store App and Windows Phone 8 - at least for me :

1.  
2. #if UNITY_EDITOR || (!UNITY_FLASH && !UNITY_WP8 && !UNITY_METRO)
3. #define REFLECTION_SUPPORT
4. #endif
5.  
6. // no #if before
7. using System.Reflection;
8.  
9.  

...

1.  
2. #if !UNITY_EDITOR && UNITY_WP8
3.     static string GetMethodName (Callback callback)
4.     {
5.         System.Delegate d = callback as System.Delegate;
6.         return d.Method.Name;
7.     }
8.  
9.     static bool IsValid (Callback callback)
10.     {
11.         System.Delegate d = callback as System.Delegate;
12.         return d != null && d.Method != null;
13.     }
14. #elif !UNITY_EDITOR && UNITY_METRO
15.     static string GetMethodName (Callback callback)
16.     {
17.         System.Delegate d = callback as System.Delegate;
18.         return d.GetMethodInfo().Name;
19.     }
20.  
21.     static bool IsValid (Callback callback)
22.     {
23.         System.Delegate d = callback as System.Delegate;
24.         return d != null && d.GetMethodInfo() != null;
25.     }
26. #else
27.  
28.     // Perhaps it can be improved by merging this with the first #if
29.     // I will let you try that ;)
30.  
31.     static string GetMethodName (Callback callback) { return callback.Method.Name; }
32.     static bool IsValid (Callback callback) { return callback != null && callback.Method != null; }
33. #endif
34.  
35.  

Well, I can't test for WP8 because I have no device, but it compile without error.

Let me know if it helps.

So Win8 is different from Windows Phone 8. Makes sense. Not. Someone derped this one.

[stephan7]

The WinRT and WP8 API have the same ancestor, but they have surprisingly significant differences.
