Multilingual

Hi All,

I want to give support for "Thai" language in my application. Since "Thai" Language characters are single byte characters, can i use the same with the default controls that are available with vb rather than going for Microsoft Forms2 object Library. Thanks.

First: visit this site http://www.trigeminal.com/michka.asp?1033 to get an idea how to internationalize you VB app.
Second: Forms 2.0 library is not redistributable or you need to obtain a lisence from MS otherwise.

But

"The Fm20.dll is NOT redistributable. You must have an application such as Microsoft Office 97 on the target system that installs Fm20.dll as part of its setup. You may not distribute the Fm20.dll as part of your setup, even if you purchase the Microsoft Office Developer Edition product.
As an alternative to having your end users install Microsoft Office, you can have them freely download and install the Microsoft ActiveX Control Pad, which also installs the Fm20.dll."

Bit messy but does anybody know how else I am to create a Japanese language version of my product?
