Testing if Unicode

Also, your example is flawed because you're wrongly passing the size of the pointer instead of passing the size of the buffer itself in bytes.

No. Last time I checked:

char ascii\[\] = "The rain in Spain";

sizeof ascii == ::strlen(ascii) + 1

I wonder what result you would get if the second param was number of bytes:

LPCWSTR str = L"कमल"; //If you see ???, then you don't have Indic fonts installed.
BOOL b = false;
b = IsTextUnicode(str, _tcslen(str)*sizeof(WCHAR), NULL);

Best wishes, Hans

What pointer? Richard was taking the size of an array. Ash

This works: (apologies if that is not Hindi, and I hope it's a nice word!)

WCHAR hindi[] = L"कमल";

wcout << sizeof hindi << endl;

if (IsTextUnicode(hindi, sizeof hindi, NULL))
wcout << "It is Unicode" << endl;

Note the result of the sizeof operator; sizeof arrayName gives size in bytes, which is the value required by the IsTextUnicode() function.

It's time for a new signature.

I must stop replying in the middle of the night. I overlooked it were size of an array. The word cannot be nicer, it means "Lotus". This probably means the API is now "improved"?! I'd be glad to go and test some of the old stuff that never worked. I'll keep you posted if they don't!

Yes, yes, apologies. See my reply to Richard. :)

If it's any consolation I do this all the time in the middle of the day!

No worries, I consider it a typo :)

Michael Kaplan does not like IsTextUnicode either.[^]

One other idea that comes to mind try { cout << mystring << endl; catch wcout << mystring << endl; }
