    I have a project which was started as ANSI, and the project can't be converted to unicode for the foreseeable future. However, I have to display some unicode filenames in a list box by calling the unicode versions of the Win32 functions. But I have a problem.

    LPCWSTR strFile = L"Some chinese or arabic unicode text, like that - يتشخيتختصضخيتضختصت.doc";
    MessageBoxW(0, strFile, 0, 0);
    SendDlgItemMessageW(GetSafeHwnd(), IDC_LISTBOX_FILES, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM) text);

    The code above will show the message box with the correct unicode text, but it will display "????????.doc" in the list box. I tried changing the font of the list box but it didn't fix it.

    There is sufficient light for those who desire to see, and there is sufficient darkness for those of a contrary disposition. Blaise Pascal
