Re: Problems with garbage characters in Chinese Win7 under VS2008.

I have a C++ app which when built with VS2008 displays '?' for
characters on an English Win7 system with Hong Kong language pack but
displays proper characters on a native Hong Kong Win7 system. When
built with VS6, it displays properly on both systems. Any insights
would be appreciated. I can provide a tiny sample program.
Check the project settings.
IT is most likely that the VS2008 project does not build a Unicode versio=
n.

Neither the VS6 or VS2008 projects build Unicode versions. This is by
design. The resource file is a Big5-encoded TrChinese string. Looks
fine under both VS6 and 2008 on full Hong Kong Win7, looks okay only
under VS6 on English Win7 with HK language pack. The code is simply
the following:
HINSTANCE hInst = LoadLibrary("resources.dll");
if (hInst != NULL)
{
AfxSetResourceHandle(hInst);
MessageBox("Language File Loaded", "", MB_OK);
}
else
{
MessageBox("Language File NOT Loaded", "ERROR", MB_ICONSTOP);
EndDialog(-1);
return FALSE;
}
// Now read a single string from the resource file and put
// its text onto the text string.
CString textToSet;
#define IDS_ACCEPT_LICENSE 233
textToSet.LoadString(IDS_ACCEPT_LICENSE);
((CStatic *)GetDlgItem(IDC_TEXT))->SetWindowText(textToSet);
