Unicode in VB

[TheBao]

Can VB display VB code ? I want to set some unicode to the menu and label caption. If someone know, please help.

Regards.

AFAIK, VB6 fully supports unicode data.

Yes indeed. Unicode is the default for VB. If you use the following code, you'll see that this is the case:

Dim Test As String
Dim Test2() As Byte

Test = "This is a test of VB's Unicode!"
Test2 = Test

For X = 0 To UBound(Test2)
    MsgBox Test2(X)
Next X

See all the entries that equal 0? That's the first half of the double byte unicode character. IE: 0 followed by 32 is the unicode ascii code 032 which corresponds to the space character. (or more precisely 000 032, Hex &0032)

check out the ascw(string) function.
That might help you do what you need.

0x0032 = 50! The character should be 0x0020 (for space)! Sorry to be so picky, but I thought it might be confusing.

VB actually use a mutex between Unicode and ANSI strings.
It handles all strings internally in memory using Unicode however all string functions use ANSI strings so VB converts back and forth between them.
Also VB always pass a string to an API function as ANSI that's why we always use all the xxxA functions instead of the xxxW versions.
