Why not to use unicode version for all cases then?
 
Because in unicode version each string will be double size. In previous times - not so cheap memory and so on - it have sense to save on memory footprint. Plus usually smaller also means faster.

Because Windows 95/98 don't natively support Unicode.
Ergo: it simply won't work]]> Wed, 19 Nov 2008 04:39:34 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12718&PID=42962&title=differences-between-unicode-and-nonunicode-ocx#42962 <![CDATA[Differences between Unicode and Non-Unicode OCX? : Why not to use unicode version...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12718&PID=42961&title=differences-between-unicode-and-nonunicode-ocx#42961 Author: Alexey2

In short: The ability to print special characters like Chinese etc.
In long...
Windows 98 and earlier don't have native support for printing special characters.
So if you for example live in London and you deploy your application only in England and would like to have Windows 95/98 support, then choose non-Unicode.
If you have language support and distribute your app around the globe, then drop 95/98 support and choose Unicode, or compile 2 versions.]]> Wed, 19 Nov 2008 03:30:16 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12718&PID=42960&title=differences-between-unicode-and-nonunicode-ocx#42960 <![CDATA[Differences between Unicode and Non-Unicode OCX? : What differences between Unicode...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12718&PID=42949&title=differences-between-unicode-and-nonunicode-ocx#42949 Author: Alexey2
