[RESOLVED] How-to read unicode characters from windows clipboard

[vb.elmar]

Hello,
the text string below contains Greek (or Cyrillic) characters

thе brοwn fοх ϳumрѕ οvеr а Ӏаzу bаg

when I copy the text to the windows clipboard
and paste it (Ctrl+V) into the Forms 2.0 Textbox (Textbox1),
the Asc codes "116, 104, 1077" are shown.


This is the code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
'    TextBox1.Text = Clipboard.GetText
    Form1.AutoRedraw = True 'draw to form
    Form1.WindowState = 2 'show form1 maximized
End Sub

Private Sub TextBox1_Change()
cb = Clipboard.GetText
    For r = 1 To Len(cb)
        x = Mid(TextBox1.Text, r, 1)
        y = AscW(x)
        Form1.Print " "; (y)
    Next
End Sub

But when I use the code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    TextBox1.Text = Clipboard.GetText
    Form1.AutoRedraw = True 'draw to form
    Form1.WindowState = 2 'show form1 maximized
End Sub

the (wrong) Asc codes "116, 104, 63" are shown.

How is it possible to display the Asc codes "116, 104, 1077"
when using the clipboard (without having a textbox on Form1)?

-Do I need the StrPtr() function?
