Re: read Unicode data from IPropertyStorage

This did the trick! Obviously I didn't check the value carefully :)

The PID_CODEPAGE, as explained in the article, should contain a valid
code
page number. However I am getting an invalid number (-535), it is just
getting more interesting...

-535 stored in a WORD is 0xFDE9, and 65001 stored in a WORD is also 0xFDE9
But 65001 is UTF-8 :-)

So try to convert the value you retrieve to UTF-16 using PID_CODEPAGE.
If PID_CODEPAGE is 1200, nothing to do, the string is UTF-16LE already
If PID_CODEPAGE is 1201, call _swab, the string is UTF-16BE (big-endian)
Otherwise use MultiByteToWideChar( PID_CODEPAGE, ... ) to convert.
