GDI+ DrawString Problem

[RejiKumar]

Hi,

I am using Graphics::DrawString method to draw text on my MFC dialog based application (with GDI+ support). DrawString method takes only a WCHAR* as its first input parameter. My project settings, Character set is set to "Use Multi-Byte Character Set" and this cannot be changed. I have a CString variable and i use the following code to convert that into WCHAR*:-



LPWSTR lpszW = new WCHAR[sText.GetLength()+1]; //where sText is the CString variable.
LPTSTR lpstr = sText.GetBuffer(sText.GetLenght());
int nLen = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP,0,lpstr,-1,NULL,NULL);
MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP,0,lpstr,-1,lpszW,nLen);

Graphics graphics(hDC);
graphics.DrawString(lpszW,nLen,font,rectF,&format,&brush);


This works fine in English Language. But in Japanese OS, my sText is a Japanese string and on the dialog this code displays junk characters. Why is it happening so?

Thanks in advance,
Reji

Hello Reji

If you are using unicode build, check whether u have added "wWinMainCRTStartup" in the entry point symbol (projectsetting->link->output)
