    Do manifest files enable unicode support?

    For some reason Unicode characters appear correctly (no question marks) within all my text boxes after creating a manifest file. Does anyone know anything about this? Are any other controls supported? Treeview?

    Can you post the Unicode character(s) that you saw on your TextBox(es)? What are their character codes? Note that while you can paste Unicode characters to a Visual Styles enabled TextBox, VB6 still won't be able to "read" them.
    On Local Error Resume Next: If Not Empty Is Nothing Then Do While Null: ReDim i(True To False) As Currency: Loop: Else Debug.Assert CCur(CLng(CInt(CBool(False Imp True Xor False Eqv True)))): Stop: On Local Error GoTo 0
    Declare Sub CrashVB Lib "msvbvm60" (Optional DontPassMe As Any)

    True:

    Code:
    Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Text2.Text = Text1.Text
End Sub

    Even if you can read/write to them using API calls (e.g. SendMessage) debugging would be a nightmare since you really don't want to apply a styles manifest to the VB6 IDE. Thus in the end it is probably worthless.
