vb6 - storing chinese/jap character in INI file.

i have figure out how to store chinese/japanese character in INI. the codes are as follow. hope it helps.

VB Code:

Public Enum CodeEnum
   cgNone = 0
   cgANSI = 1
   cgUTF8 = 2
   cgUTF16 = 3
   cgHTML = 4
End Enum
 
 
'the function to convert the input character to some encoding, 
'you can convert the encoding back to the character
Public Function Uni_VB(ByVal sText As String) As String
   Dim lLen             As Long
   Dim i                As Long
   Dim sChar            As String
   Dim lChar            As Integer
   Dim CodeEnum         As CodeEnum
 
   lLen = Len(sText)
 
   If lLen Then
      For i = 1 To lLen
         sChar = Mid$(sText, i, 1)
         lChar = AscW(sChar)
         If (lChar >= &H0) And (lChar <= &HFF) Then
            Select Case CodeEnum
               Case cgNone
                  Uni_VB = Uni_VB & Chr$(34)
               Case cgANSI
 
               Case cgUTF16
                  Uni_VB = Uni_VB & " & " & Chr$(34)
            End Select
            CodeEnum = cgANSI
            Uni_VB = Uni_VB & sChar
         Else
            If CodeEnum = cgANSI Then
               Uni_VB = Uni_VB & Chr$(34)
            End If
            CodeEnum = cgUTF16
            'Uni_VB = Uni_VB & " & ChrW$(&H" & Hex$(lChar) & ")"
            Uni_VB = Uni_VB & "  &H" & Hex$(lChar) & "|"
         End If
      Next
 
      If CodeEnum = cgANSI Then
         Uni_VB = Uni_VB & Chr$(34)
      End If
 
   End If
End Function
 
'usage:
   'to insert into ini file
    str1 = TextBox1.Text
    fstr = Uni_VB(str1)
    'Debug.Print fstr
    iniFile$ = "C:\CP.ini"
    WriteToINI "Section", "Key", fstr, iniFile$
 
'to display it:
iniFile$ = "C:\CP.ini"
    szaTemp = Space(lSize)
    lRet = GetPrivateProfileString("Section", "Key", "", szaTemp, lSize, iniFile$)
    szaTemp = Left(szaTemp, lRet)
 strCode = Split(szaTemp, "|")
 fstr = fstr & ChrW$(strCode(i))
TextBox2.Text = fstr
