Hi waldermort please send me the project, I value any tips I can get. mmortimer47 at hot mail dot com Mortie42

Thx :-D I had assumed that because I could see the Chinese glyphs in Excel, word and Notepad that all was well. Bad me. With the East Asian Languages set the glyphs appear. :) Mortie42

I think I have issues else where. I'm using an old copy of VisualC++6.0 on a new WinXP o/s. I copied the DLL's for Chinese; APPWZCHS.DLL AND APPWZCHT.DLL from disc to machine. I tried making a simple MFC dialog application using these. The dialog box in VC showed one set of gibberish while on compilation and execution, the resulting dialog box had rows of ?'s. I'm taking a break for the weekend but before I go, could you tell me which version of VC and o/s you used? Thx for all the help. PS WTL is ...? Mortie42

Hmmm. I tried both. I compile w/o warnings But I still get two squares and a dagger with (L"\x62a4\x6797\x2021"); . Any ideas? :confused: Mortie42 -- modified at 17:10 Friday 24th March, 2006

I must be close but... Using your method (thanks), my hex values are \x62a4\x6797. But I get empty boxes. When I use \x2021, I get the double dagger symbol. My code is basically, ... CFont font1; font1.CreateFont(13,0,0,0,FW_NORMAL,FALSE,FALSE,FALSE,0,OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS, CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS,DEFAULT_QUALITY,DEFAULT_PITCH|EF_DONTCARE,_T("SimSun") ); Button.SetFont(&font1, TRUE); Button.SetTitle(_L"\x62a4\x6797"); ... What am I missing? Mortie42

Cool. Any hints on figuring out the code points. I could put the characters into a unicode configured text file, read the strings with a C++ program and print out the hex values. Is there an easier method or a utility available. Mortie42

I'm writing a user interface with Visual C++ 6 on a computer with English as the working environment. I have Chinese script that I can see in Excel and RTF files. It uses a SimSun font. I want the same script to appear on a button using SetTitle. I compile successfully with UNICODE defined. However, I can't figure out how to get the characters into the code. Any ideas? ie wnd.SetTitle(_T("????")); Mortie
