    Question Unicode?

    I know that only winNT platform can use wide char proggies.

    Here's my question,

    When I'm doing a MFC project on Win98, how do I turn on Unicode for my program in order to become Win2000 compliant?

    The more important qn is,

    When I'm doing a MFC project on Win2000, how do I turn off Unicode for my program in order to run on Win98?

    Thanks in advance.

    If you've coded using _T("string") rather than just "string" then you should be able to just add _UNICODE and UNICODE to the preprocessor definitions, then compiling...


    ...that should be all that's needed, but who said anything was ever simple :-/

    All API calls are written so that if the environment is Unicode capable it uses Unicode whenever it can... usually stored in LPTSTRs. If you run it under Win98, it will always use the xxxA call, but under Unicode capable systems it will use xxxW if there is one.
