    <p>I have an MFC application compiled with MBCS set.</p> <p>I have created a unicode list box on a regular MBCS dialog using the following code:</p> <pre><code>DWORD dwStyle = WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE|WS_VSCROLL; hLangListBox = CreateWindowExW(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, //extended styles _T(L"listbox"), //control 'class' name L"Language", //control caption dwStyle, //control style 10, //position: left 10, //position: top 200, //width 100, //height GetSafeHwnd(), //parent window handle //control's ID reinterpret_cast&lt;HMENU&gt;(static_cast&lt;INT_PTR&gt;(ID_LANGUAGE_ENGLISH+20)), AfxGetInstanceHandle(), //application instance 0); </code></pre> <p>When I inspect this dialog using Spy++ I see my Window Proc: has (Unicode) so I believe it is being created correctly.</p> <p>I am populating the listbox with one of the following commands depending on if I have the data in a unicode string or a regular string</p> <pre><code>CStringW m_LanguageNames[MAX_LANG]; CString sFilename; .... ::SendMessageW(hLangListBox,LB_INSERTSTRING ,nMenuPos,reinterpret_cast&lt;LPARAM&gt;(theApp.m_LanguageNames[i].GetBuffer())); ::SendMessage(hLangListBox,LB_INSERTSTRING ,nMenuPos,reinterpret_cast&lt;LPARAM&gt;(sFileName.GetBuffer())); </code></pre> <p>Things look ok for most entries, </p> <p>I can see </p> <p>Chinese: 中文（简体）</p> <p>French: Française</p> <p>Japanese: 日本 </p> <p>but Russian looks like a P followed by a bunch of bars (P||||||), not Pусский. When I look at the contents of the CStringW in Visual Studio I do see the correct text.</p> <p>Why can I see the other languages correctly and not russian? I am running on Windows 7 ultimate and compiling with Visual Studio 10</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>If I change my system locale to Russian I can see the russian characters fine. However, the ç in Française does not appear correct.</p> <p>I thought unicode strings were independent of the system locale. Is that correct?</p> <p>To populate my unicode CStringW I am doing:</p> <pre><code>CA2W tmp_wide(po.msgstr,CodePage); m_LanguageNames[i] = tmp_wide; </code></pre> <p>where po.msgstr is a CString that was read in from a file. In this case, CodePage is set to 1251</p> <p>If I inspect the variables in Visual Studio it appears that the conversion is happening correctly.</p> <p>It appears that my unicode list box can display unicode characters from a MBCS such as Chinese fine, but that it can't display unicode characters from a SBCS that is different from my current code page.</p>

    1. COJust out of curiosity - why is your app compiled with MCBS when you're using Unicode? Why did you not compile it as a Unicode app?

    3. COWell, odd that you get a Unicode window. You compile with MBCS but use the Unicode version of MFC? That could have some interesting repercussions.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
