[RESOLVED] Unicode TextBox

[Jonney]

Why not bother to study Dana Seaman Classic Unicode tutorial?

For XP or later,Unicode isn't a big issue. You can create Unicode-Aware Controls by CreateWindowExW.

Mark this thread.

Elsewhere I mentioned the name "Paul Caton" of PSC when I talked about self-subclassing. "Dana Seaman" is indeed another master there in many areas.

But this does not seem to be applicable in vbForum. I posted an ACTUAL Unicode Textbox user control here (the first time), the textbox is made with CreateWindowExW. What is better to learn from an actual working example? The funny thing is, the first "reply" to my posting is to pick on failure of using Tab key, instead of whether the user control in fact accepts Chinese/Korean/Japanese input, via paste, keyboard and writing pad respectively. As the thread goes on, no one is really keen in the core CreateWindowExW.

CreatetiveWindowExW is just nothing. Everytime I visit that thread, the first thing I see is someone's conspicous self-proclaiming banner (with only some bookish contents). That guy must be an "insider" of vbForum, otherwise the said "banner" would not appear in front of you every time you visit the thread.

With such an unhealthy environment, no wonder masters like Paul Caton and Dana Seaman do not come here.

Dana appears with 'DrUnicode' ID.

Jonney,

I thank you for letting me know this. I am glad to know that Dana is among us.

Actually I found that we have other great coders here

When I post a code, I naturally feel appreciative if someone specifically point out an error or raise a relevant issue for specific discussion, but I detest dry/empty stuff and talking on 150% basis with 50% knowledge.

Regards,
Petersen

This is marked as Resolved, but after reading the 'discussions' I am not so sure ?
I came across these free controls, that future Googlers (readers of this thread) may care to try -
UniSuiteFree Vb6 Unicode ActiveX Controls -
http://www.unisuite.com/
It is a single OCX, containing these (one of which is a Textbox) -
UniButton*
UniCheck*
UniCheckVb*
UniLabel*
UniOption*
UniTextBox

I have not used them yet, as I am writing a small program for a friend, who may need unicode for Russian characters.
Feedback from anyone who tries the Textbox, would be appreciated.
