Yes I have get a code for unicode supported listbox. But I want to use unicode in menus and labels and message boxes. How can I do to it?

Short answer: With great difficulty.

Long answer: You need to use the specific API function calls. I've forgotten all the menu ones. Labels are a VB invention, they are just painted onto the form, you can use GDI32 functions for this. For message boxes, it is MessageBoxW() from user32.dll.

And remember always to use the -W variants of functions that you pass strings to. If you need a hand with writing any declarations just ask. Strings are typed as Long and you pass them using StrPtr(mystring).
