VB6's InputBox doesn't support Unicode. Is there any way to make VB6's InputBox support Unicode?
I searched the VBForums and found that the MessageBoxIndirectW API could make a Unicode-MsgBox.
(the link: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...sage-box-class)
I don't know whether there is an API method could create a Unicode-InputBox ?
Thanks in advance.
There's not, but it's easy enough to roll your own. Just use one of the many Unicode textboxes.
Thanks for your reply.Quote:

The above source code about Unicode-TextBox are excellent, they're just a little more complicated. if there is a API similar to MessageBoxIndirectW could create a Unicode-InputBox directly, it would be great.
Is there a simple way to make VB6's InputBox support Unicode?
Since you asked for it I did multiple searches on multiple terms, but found nada zip nothing
All other discussions/questions on other forums/stackoverflow, programming websites, all come to the same answer, not possible with the VB InputBox. You have to create one yourself.
Thank you for the reply. Well, I suppose there is no other choice.Quote:

Amazing! Now why didn't I think of using MFC to create dialog boxes? Sometimes I wonder why do you even bother posting just for PostCount++ (MFC style)!
I haven't actually found a way to make this work in VB6 through your MFC
There is an easier way! To do this, just call the DialogBoxParam function. And at the same time, no hooks are needed.Quote:

sc.Language = "VBScript"
p = Prompt: GoSub jConcat
p = title: GoSub jConcat
p = Default: GoSub jConcat
s = sc.Eval("InputBox(" & v & ")")
If IsEmpty(s) Then s = vbNullString Else If Len(s) = 0 Then s = ""
InputBoxW = s
Exit Function
jConcat:
If v <> "" Then v = v & ","
If InStr(1, p, """") Then p = Replace(p, """", """""")
If InStr(1, p, vbCrLf) Then p = Replace(p, vbCrLf, """ & vbNewLine & """)
If InStr(1, p, vbLf) Then p = Replace(p, vbLf, """ & vbNewLine & """)
v = v & ("""" & p & """")
Return
End Function
Yes, it's great, but the dialog is not called by the modal. And also the icon in the window title is annoying.
I didn't realize it's not modal.
But I can fix it in 2 seconds.
Just throw in this line:
Code:If ObjPtr(Screen.ActiveForm) Then sc.SitehWnd = Screen.ActiveForm.hwnd
Thanks a lot, but how to remove the icon? Or change it to your own?Quote:

Very interesting approach, I like it.
fafalone, I spent a lot of time to write this code, I even had to resort to disassembler, but it was worth it
how to change to more lines?Quote:

Why didn't it work? How to set text box wrap and WordWrap=true with API
Code:Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long
Private Const EM_GETOLEINTERFACE = &H400 + 60

'Gets a handle to ID_EDIT
hEdit = GetDlgItem(Me.hWnd, ID_EDIT)
'Set ID_EDIT to be displayed in multiple lines with a vertical scroll bar
SetWindowLong hEdit, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(hEdit, GWL_STYLE) Or ES_MULTILINE Or WS_VSCROLL
'Sets the WordWrap property to True
SendMessage hEdit, EM_SETWORDWRAPMODE, True, 0
End Sub
Setting the background color of the text box is too difficult, and it becomes opaque when you enter the text with vbcrlf in the text box
("a" & vbcrlf & "bb" & vbcrlf)
Code:Function EditWndProc(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal uMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
ElseIf uMsg = WM_ERASEBKGND Then
Debug.Print "EditWndProc=" & Now
'MsgBox "WM_ERASEBKGND"
'SetBkMode wParam, vbYellow 'TRANSPARENT
GetClientRect hwnd, aRect
Dim aBrush As Long
aBrush = CreateSolidBrush(vbYellow)
SetBkMode wParam, TRANSPARENT
FillRect wParam, aRect, aBrush
DeleteObject aBrush
EditWndProc = 1
Exit Function
Why the SetWindowLong trick doesn't work, I still haven't figured it out myself. I worked for two hours and didn't understand anything. But if you recreate the EDIT window, then everything works.
I spent three hours writing this code. Now a lot of lines in the text field are working.Code:Option Explicit

Yes, I used this method myself later.
For example, you can set the height of the text box to. Four lines of text. The height of the window is also increased by three lines of text.
How to set the background color of this text box, or set a background image for it, finally I can't handle it.
Well, I don't have time to help you further with these issues. So I made a multi-line input for you.
xiaoyao, please take a look here: https://www.vbforums.com/showthread....=1#post5631495
There is an opportunity to change the color of the label
Maybe the text box is transparent. What we need now is to set a background image or a background color for the background of the inputbox dialog box.For example, I forcibly delete the action in the background of the text box and set the background color to draw it, but if there is too much text, there may be two screens and three screens of content.You just need to scroll. The page button pulls down the scroll bar.
In this case, the background color will not be displayed completely.
So the simplest thing is to draw the background in the dialog box. Draw a part of the background color behind the text box.
