Hi, i have a few questions about developing unicode application using different input locales. I am using Windows NT English version First what i have done: - i added japanese as a new input locale - i changed the compiler and linker settings to unicode Questions: How is it possible to enter japanese characters into an edit field? Switching the locale in the systray doesn't have an affect to the input to the field. Do i have to install anything else? Do i have to install an IME? if so, where can i get it. Does this only works with an NT Japanese version? Where can i get same more information about IME and input of characters like japanese or arabic etc. At least, enter japanese chars into an internet explorer entry field works after switching the locale. An additional window pops up where i can select different input modes. TIA, Chris
