Help for Arabic/Urdu Development in Visual C++

[signbit]

Dear All I have tried to enter Arabic/Urdu strings in a Visual C++ project, in the VS IDE they look just find, but when I compile and run the application they just show up as ? marks like ????. Any Ideas? - A programmer's national anthem; "AAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

You need to build your application Unicode aware for displaying such characters you told. Regards, Rajesh R. Subramanian You have an apple and me too. We exchange those and We have an apple each. You have an idea and me too. We exchange those and We have two ideas each.

Try for UNICODE compatible functins in your project. make use of _T() like functions rather that normal ASCII Functions. -Malli...!

In the project settings, I have specified "Unicode Character Set". and I only entered a menu option in Urdu, it was displaying it alright inside the IDE, but when I ran it, they were showing as ????. Do I need to used _T() for Menu Resource, if yes, where do I do that? - A programmer's national anthem; "AAAAAHHHHH!!!!"

See the following link and unires sample. Basically you need to save the file in Unicode and comment out the #pragma codepage directive. You will not be able to edit the file with Visual Studio's resource editor. You need to edit it with a Unicode enabled source editor.
