LocalizeMenuBar with chinese characters

[ArnoG]

Hello,

I'm trying use "LocalizeMenuBar" function with “*.lwl” file that contain Chinese characters, the function returns -6000.

I'm actually working with CVI 9.1.0, I know that Unicode is actually not supported, did you know when CVI "LocalizeMenuBar" function will support Chinese characters ?

Thanks.

You should be able to that - just not with Unicode. Did you paste Unicode into the localization tool? Can you load the LWL file back into the Localization Tool?  I presume you have seen this page?

For the record, I have been able to paste in multi-byte strings and have them appear correctly when it runs on a Chinese version of Windows. (On my English machine it shows a garbled multi-byte string)

Here is a way to handle the encoding, given Chinese strings provided in a Word document.  When I "Save As" a .txt file in Word it prompts for the encoding to use:

That gives me a txt file, with the multibyte encoding that I specified.

Not sure if this solves your problem, but I hope it helps.
