Hello !
I am trying to get a Unicode-capable edit control into my MBCS-compiled application (which I can not easily compile in Unicode!).
I have been successful in the sense that my Edit control now supports almost all languages, but not the Indic languages such as Hindi. I only get question marks when I enter Hindi.
I have read lots of stuff from Microsoft, and they told me, that it has to do with the missing codepage support for Indic languages. and should not be possible.
Anyway, I have tried several things, like subclassing or superclassing the window and calling the W-functions, but my problem remains.
So, does somebody have an idea of a different way of solving this ?
Somehow it works in the MS-example:
http://www.microsoft.com/msj/0499/multilangunicode/multilangunicode.aspx
Here Mr. Bishop uses the DialogBoxParamW-function to create a dialog which also accepts Hindi, even though it is compiles in MBCS.
I would like to do that only for one edit control, without creating a new dialog!
Thank you in advance for your help!
