Could you give a bit more detail? I doubt there should be such a behaviour change in your program just because you went from ANSII to UNICODE. What did you change on your code? There are certain messages/notifications which have an ANSII and a UNICODE version (these are usually postfixed with an A or a W to indicate ANSII or unicode (WIDE) versions), could it be that somewhere you are listening for the ANSII version of a message which is not being sent anymore since you changed to UNICODE and now the WIDE version is sent? Show some code snipplet how you handled changes in one of your edit boxes which no longer functions. > The problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do and not what you want them to do. < > Life: great graphics, but the gameplay sux. <

I'll recommend that you convert your project to Unicode, and it is the ideal way of doing it. Unless your code uses some kind of a third party library that doesn't support Unicode, I don't see a reason why you should not do a fully Unicode build.

Dear All, I have tried in many possible ways but I cannot display the character ♠. The real problem is that I need to change my entire project to UNICODE but this is not possible for right now. I also tried the below and even not working. wchar_t display[2]; display[0] = 0x2660; display[1] = 0; edit.SetWindowText(display); //This only works when I change the project into UNICODE. Is there any possible way to do simply. Many thanks in advance.

Read my previous reply to you again and provide all the details I asked for. It is a crappy thing, but it's life -^ Carlo Pallini

Until the control has focus, the up/down keys are meaningless. After the control has focus, the up/down keys change the selection within the control; it does not lose focus. So, what exactly is the problem? "Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw later in life what you have deposited along the way." - Unknown "Fireproof doesn't mean the fire will never come.

I'm not really sure what your problem is... Try this: CTreeCtrl *pTree = (CTreeCtrl *)GetDlgItem (IDC_MYTREE); // Add two root items HTREEITEM hRootOne = pTree->InsertItem ("Root One", TVI_ROOT); HTREEITEM hRootTwo = pTree->InsertItem ("Root Two", TVI_ROOT); // Add one child to first root item pTree->InsertItem ("Child One", hRootOne); // Add two children to second root item pTree->InsertItem ("Child Alpha", hRootTwo); pTree->InsertItem ("Child Beta", hRootTwo); Note the use of TVI_ROOT for the root items, and that I keep track of the return values to use later.
