weird UNICODE problem

[Arjan Schouten]

Hello, I just added UNICODE support to my App and it fails to work properly. Even simple string assignments fail, I always end up with one (the first) character. example, CString s; s = _T("Test"); Now s seems to be 'T'. What's going on here?

Try defining both UNICODE and _UNICODE in the predefined macros section. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

I think the problem is in your output of the value. There are two things to remember: 1. Unicode handling is mostly limited to NT/2000 platforms. 2. If you use an ansi string function on a unicode string you will (very often) see that the function gets only the first byte of the 2 byte character. That is because the second byte is often 0x00. You say that you have added UNICODE support, does that mean that you have defined UNICODE?, then perhaps you could try defining _UNICODE as well.

I suggest you have a look at Michael Dunn's string articles from here[^] and here[^] Best regards, Alexandru Savescu P.S. Interested in art? Visit this!
