    Resolved [RESOLVED] FindFirstFile(W) Unicode problem with the windows non-unicode settings

    Dev-PC: Windows 7, VB6SP6

    With my app i use the API FindFirstFileWide to enum files with unicode characters in the name from a folder.

    I get the correct unicode file names if the regional settings for non-unicode programs are set to "English" or another non-unicode-language:

    If i change the regional settings for non-unicode programs to "Chinese" the file names from the API FindFirstFileWide are all wrong:

    Name: Screenshot - 06.08.2021 , 11_14_57.png Views: 1781 Size: 52.6 KB

    Does anyone know how to fix this problem and get the real file names?

    Attached you will find a test project with the chinese file names.
    The project will need VBCCR17.OCX to display the unicode characters in the textbox.
