Introduction
With this post I am presenting you the UrduEditor, a Notepad like application especially tailored for editing Urdu text. You can think of it as a souped-up Notepad, a stripped down Unipad or whatever. After developing the web-based Urdu editor (I will call it Urdu Webpad from now on) I thought of developing a native windows version of a similar utility which I call UrduEditor. Since then I have been working on this idea. The progress has been very slow since I have been extremely busy. I do not have time even to add and test the tiniest of features. There is still a lot of unfinished functionality. I have no choice but to release a version and declare it as beta. I am also providing the source code of the UrduEditor application under GPL. Everybody is encouraged to make changes and add features to the UrduEditor. I am also ready to change the license from GPL to some other license if somebody finds it too restrictive.
The UrduEditor works in a way similar to that of Urdu Webpad. It is also capable of saving and loading Urdu text files. The Urdu text files are stored in UTF-8 format. Although the Urdu text files are plain text files, these are saved with a .uxt extension. This helps in identifying the Urdu text files in the windows file explorer and these also have shell association with the UrduEditor application i.e. double clicking on these files opens these in the UrduEditor application. The UrduEditor can even print, well, sort of. The problem is that the UrduEditor relies on the basic printing functionality of the MFC CEditView class. As a result the print-preview looks horrible and the printing is done left-aligned. I did not delve into the inner workings of the MFC/Windows printing mechanism. One solution would have been to use the CRichEditView class. That also would have meant a major re-write of the application. If there is anybody out there willing to augment the printing functionality of the UrduEditor application, they are most welcome to do it. One interesting feature of the UrduEditor is saving the Urdu text in html format. This html is of very primitive nature i.e. full of font tags and without any style. The reason why I chose this form of html was that I intended to use it for sending Urdu emails and this kind of html is most likely to be correctly displayed by any mail-client supporting html-mail.
At the moment UrduEditor uses the Urdu Naskh Asiatype font with a fixed point size. I will try to release a version soon that will allow selection of other Urdu fonts and point sizes. The keyboard mapping is similar to that of Urdu Webpad, which in turn mimics the keyboard mapping provided in the Inpage Urdu composing software.
I have also customized the Find and Replace dialogs to easily search and replace Urdu text. Figure 1 shows the main UrduEditor application window. Figure 2 illustrates the use of some toolbar buttons in UrduEditor.
Figure 1 : UrduEditor application
Figure 2 : UrduEditor’s Toolbar
Where is the on-screen keyboard?
This is probably the most glaring omission from the current release. I will try to provide an on-screen keyboard soon for aiding in entering Urdu text. Meanwhile the Windows 2000 and Windows XP users can use the on-screen keyboard provided with the standard windows installation.
An editor sending emails? Well, why not? I had an idea about sending Urdu emails but was too lazy to develop an extra application for that. I found out that the most feasible way of sending Urdu text based emails is sending it as html-mail. There are arguments about the security concerns when receiving html-mail but I still think that it is indispensable.
I wanted to incorporate html-mail functionality without relying on the Microsoft Outlook’s object libraries. I looked around for a c++ class that could provide a thorough encapsulation of the SMTP-protocol. The best open source class that I found was CPJNSMTPConnection written by P.J. Naughter. In fact the send mail dialog is also stolen from the sample application provided with the above-mentioned class. Figure 3 shows the send mail dialog.
Figure 3 : Send mail dialog
Some configuration is necessary before actually sending mails. As shown in the figure, the mail server name and the port number has to be specified. The mail server can also be a POP-server. I have experimented connecting to an Exchange server and the POP-server provided by the webmail provider www.gmx.de. I have not been able to make it work with Gmail’s POP-server yet. There is an almost infinite number of combinations of the mail-clients and message formats and I have been able to test only a few. The configuration dialog is shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4 : Configuration dialog
I have successfully tested sending Urdu emails to Hotmail, Yahoo and Gmail accounts. Figures 5,6 & 7 respectively show the screenshots of Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo mail with Urdu mail messages. This text is taken from some article at BBC’s Urdu website.
Figure 5 : Urdu message in Hotmail
Figure 6 : Urdu message in Gmail
Figure 7 : Urdu message in Yahoo Mail
It must be noted that you may or may not be able to freely choose the sender’s email address. For example I was able to specify any sender address I liked when sending email through an Exchange server but I was only able to send email through GMX after I specified my correct GMX-address. It is also interesting to note that when sending Urdu email this way to a Gmail-account, the email is likely to land into the spam-mail folder. Watch out for that!
Posting to Yahoo and Google Groups
One of my goals was to enable the members of Yahoo- and Google-groups to post in Urdu. This is possible by sending html-mails to the groups’ email addresses. The key to participating in a particular discussion is its title which must be specified as the subject of the sent mail. Following are the discussion groups that I set up for my experimentation:
Yahoo UrduProjects Group:
URL: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/urduprojects/
Post message: urduprojects@yahoogroups.com
Figure 8 : Urdu post in Yahoo Group
Google UrduProjects Group:
URL : http://groups-beta.google.com/group/urduprojects
Post message: urduprojects@googlegroups.com
Figure 9 : Urdu post in Google Group
It can be seen from the above images that the Urdu text is displayed better in the Google group. The text in Figures 8 & 9 was copied from a post in Danial’s blog.
Note: If you see garbage instead of Urdu text, change the default encoding of your browser to Unicode (UTF-8).
I have developed the UrduEditor application using MFC and Visual C++ 6.0. I did not use Visual C++.NET because I wanted to avoid unnecessary dependencies that would prevent the program from running on Windows 98 systems. Asif has reported that the programs compiles fine with Visual C++.NET. I may gradually switch to Visual C++.NET for future development. The source code also presents an example of using Unicode with MFC. I have extended the MFC edit controls for editing of the Urdu text. I may at some later point create an MFC extension library useful for developing Urdu based applications.
A lot of work still remains to be done. I stay committed to the development of following features:
An on screen keyboard for helping in the entry of Urdu text.
Changing fonts and point sizes
More options for different html-templates
Dialog boxes for displaying and copying different types of html outputs
A toolbar for inserting diacritics
The ideas used in the development of the UrduEditor application can also be used in other directions. It is possible to develop a library of ActiveX controls to allow Visual Basic programmers to write Urdu based applications. The keyboard handling in the UrduEditor application can be made generic in order to support multiple keyboard layouts. This would make capable of editing text in local languages e.g. Sindhi, Balochi and Pashto. In fact I am already eying the keyboard layout format used in Unipad. I can accomplish this task only if I get enough support from people having interest in it.
You can download the UrduEditor application and its source code from the following links.

Urdu Editor
Since a long time we needed an open source software to create, edit and save Urdu utf-8 files. Windows XP and 2000 series has Urdu support available but still there are people using other windows, mac and Linux. Even some XP and 2000 users were unable …

Nabeel: Great job.
April 23rd, 2005 at 11:48 pm
That Realy Great Great work! by nabeel
April 25th, 2005 at 2:30 am
Zabardast. All thumbs up. Nabeel has an undying skills of making others (at least me) feel like idiots but on a positive note, it’s a call for others to join in and further progress with the development… Right now, I can’t download it for whatever reason. I have a quick suggestion: I can happily mirror the file(s) at my singapore based host ICDSoft for alternative downloads.
On a side note, I have just secretly set up a WP installation and trying to see why do we have to complicate writing urdu comments with code like % ur ur or whatever… I am not good at programming stuff but I think it ought to be fairly simple, very simple in fact something like Press Urdu and it’d only add p class=urduText and that’s it. Because despite the noteworthy efforts of this group of people, I still believe it needs to be pushed further for a common blogger and More Importantly any website owner. Why restricts things to blogs whereas there are many website designers who are reluctant to try Unicode based apps. just because they don’t have enough feedback as to how stable the selection of unicode based app. would be…
Overall, great effort. Waiting for link to work :$
April 25th, 2005 at 2:42 am
I am also having problems downloading the setup file but the source is ok.
Ejaz:
That is definitely not user friendly. I am working on Javascript for language-specific quicktags (basically buttons you can press to insert the appropriate code like
<p class="urdu" xml:lang="urdu">etc.)April 25th, 2005 at 3:35 am
Everybody : Thank you very much for your appreciation
Ejaz: I think the problem lies with the limit on the volume of data transfer imposed by Geocities. In fact it will be a favour for all of us if you could mirror the download. Just tell us about the download link. By the way, the download in the Yahoo UrduProjects group is still working.
I think that you have to make either Urdu or English the primary language for your comments box. If you use the Urdu Webpad for your comments box, Urdu will be default.
April 26th, 2005 at 1:47 pm
Simply WonderFull, remarkable, marverllous and Great Work. Nabeel has made my difficult very easy. Now I can kick out WinXP and can have Win98 in my pc.

Hi.. awesome work… just cant praise enuf…
But unfortunately, i am having trouble running it
It installs fine and all is done. I open the UrduEditor, but after that whatever i type, it is not joining the words.. like if i type ‘K’ and then ‘A’ and then ‘M’, without spaces, then it is supposed to join the alphabets.. but its not joining them
See the screenshot of my problem here:
http://www.geocities.com/apnakamran/my_error.html
I’ll be visiting your blog again.. so pleaaaaase post the answer here sir…
Thanks a million…
Allah aap ko khush rakhey…u hav GPled ur code so u r a kind man

April 27th, 2005 at 9:30 am
Kamran: Some other users have registered the same problem and I have also called upon everybody to look into it. I hope we remove the problem soon. By the way you can try compiling the code if you want to. It should compile with Visual C++ 6.0 or Visual C++.NET. With Visual C++ 6.0 you need to have the Vusal C++’s unicode support dlls installed.

September 3rd, 2005 at 1:38 pm
just downloaded your software ,pls guide me the settings which i have to provide
in the configuration dialog.
anticipating your reply as soon as possible.
thankingly.
Ateeq
September 4th, 2005 at 6:26 am
Ateeq: The settings in the configuration dialog are similar to the email client settings if you use an email account from your internet service provider. Actually you have to provide the name of a mail (SMTP) server and and an account name. If you do not have an email account from your internet service provider, you can use any of the freely available mail servers on the internet. You will have to create an account first.
Unfortunately Yahoo and Hotmail do not allow free POP-access. I use an account with http://www.gmx.de. This is a free web mail service. You may have some problem registering with gmx since the website is in German. If you successfully register with gmx, you can anter its mail server’s name i.e mail.gmx.de in the configuration dialog alongwith your account name and password. You can use the authentication method as shown in the figure.
You may find other alternatives too. Although Gmail also provides free POP-access, its is accessed through secure socket which is still not supported in UrduEditor.

July 11th, 2006 at 9:25 am
afshan: It is easy to set up an Urdu blog on blogger.com. Why doesn’t it work for you? All you need to do is to adapt a blogger.com template for correctly displaying Urdu. I can send you one such adapted template if you want to.
This blog is based on WordPress and you would need a web host account to set up a WordPress blog.
August 8th, 2006 at 10:20 am
Well, I’m using only this software for writing urdu since you uploaded it
I was wondering if its link is given somewhere in urduweb’s wiki or projects???
Its a delight rather a treat for every urdu lover.

Asalam o Alaikum Nabeel & Rest of the technical and supportive team contributing to this wonderful too.
First of all i would like to say a BIG THANKS to all of you, specially by providing such a useful tool free of cost to all urdu lovers, and let me tell you this one tool is making the history, I haven’t seen many forums in urdu but now every second community is using urdu forum. Realy Great stuff.
I have seen this integrated in IPB forums, phpBB forums, but haven’t seen it yet on vBulletin forum, I am using vBulletin for last couple of years and would like to stick with this, if anyone already integrated it with vBulletin please do let me know How To? or if someone is willing to work on this I am willing to provide a test instance of vBulletin 6.x for experiment, please contact me @ basithabib@gmail.com.
Many Thanks & Kind Regards,

I am unable to figure out how to use this. The words have suddenly started going left to right instead of right to left. So if I wanted to write “form” (in urdu) the “aliph” comes BEFORE the “fay” when I type it. My bigger worry is how to join the text. I would love to have the urdu keyboard it would make guessing things easier (I hope, but I dont know). I am also a software engineer but I have mostly done java/ j2ee/ web related stuff. How can I help?
So if anyone knows the answers to the above please email me at : atharshiraz AT g m a il DOT c o m

Hi,
I have been working with urdu language for the past 11 years. I have used DOS programs to the latest Indesign and plus softwares to reach the client’s expectations.
But now I am facing a HUGE problem working with .xml files. The client has given us the English version of the xml files to be translated into Urdu and hindi languages. The problem we are facing is that while typing, some of the coding gets deleted or overtyped, resulting in the malfunctioning of the original xml format.
I have tried “MSOffice 2003 XML Editor”, but it is the third grade software I have ever seen. We have also tried the “XLIFF Translation Editor”, The software is very good as it allows to overtype the text only without displaying any of the coding of the xml file. but inspite of being so good it replaces some of the original coding of the xml files, which in turn gets an error.
Sir can you suggest me to provide a software or any other procedure to type urdu language in xml files with ease and without hampering any of the coding from the original xml files.
I Hope for a valuable and helpful suggestion/solution from yours side as soon as possible. Thanks and regards.

Nabeel: You said in your reply that to set up an urdu blog all i have to do is…”All you need to do is to adapt a blogger.com template for correctly displaying Urdu. I can send you one such adapted template if you want to.”
I have also made an account at wordpress.com too. The files that i want to upload are in inpage is it possible that i directly cope file from inpage and post in teh blog or do i need anything else to be downloaded?You also suggested to give me an adapted template. I would be very grateful if you forward me the adapted template, be it for blogger or wordpress.thank you.God Bless

Dear Nabeel,
First of all, let me congratulate you on putting together this excellent and ‘SIMPLE’ application. BIG Bravo, It is comprehensive, beautiful and it just simply works. We have been inspired from your work.
We are a small group of individuals residing in Saudi Arabia working in the field of media and advertising. Going through various negative news and events in Pakistan, we have decided to CHANGE opinions about Pakistan CREATIVELY by putting some efforts in promoting together the following forum (as a start) at http://pakopinions.forumgogo.com while working on a bigger portal.
the following domains have been registered for this purpose:
http://www.pakistanopinions.com
http://www.pakopinions.com
http://www.pakopinion.com
the forum at http://pakopinions.forumgogo.com is currently at a free hosting area that does not allow us to post ads, however, we have placed a link to your website in the links section as a gesture. However, once our portal will be ready, we can discuss other ideas.
We were wondering how to include some URDU text in the website, and thanks to your great software for helping us out. our next task is to somehow configure a purely URDU forum, we will be using PHPBB on the site. (by the way I am not from any programming background) if you can jump in, it would be great.
We will highly appreciate your initial opinions about the forum and its current content. you can also start posting if you like.
http://pakopinions.forumgogo.com
looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks and best wishes
