Re: Want Input boxes to accept unicode strings on Standard Windows XP

Have you tried building with Unicode? I switched my applications over to this and I got away from a ton of code page problems. If you build with Unicode it will use the Unicode versions of the MFC as well.

I have a MFC application that is currently built with MBCS mode. If I run
the program on a Chinese OS (Windows XP), the input boxes (Edit Controls)
can accept Chinese chars and display correctly. If I run it on a standard
English XP, the input boxes won't accept Chinese chars (display as "????") -- please note that I have already installed CKJ on the system and IE and
Outlook can display Chinese correctly.

Is this just because of different MFC libraries used for the application?
Can I force the application running on Standard XP to use the unicode
libraries so to force Edit Controls accept Chinese chars input? Currently
completely rewriting the code to use unicode is not option for me.

Any help will be appreciated.

Paul
