Hi

Thanks... I found a solution also soon after I posted that. In the end I just searched and replaced in all my .rc files (about 40 of them) for MS Sans Serif and replaced with Microsoft Sans Serif, which is a unicode font.

I didn't change dialog types to dialogex.... there were hundreds of them...]]> Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:30:50 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14112&PID=48325&title=unicode-and-edit-controls#48325 <![CDATA[unicode and edit controls : Hi, Check that you have DIALOGEX...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14112&PID=48258&title=unicode-and-edit-controls#48258 Author: Oleg

Hi,
 
Check that you have DIALOGEX dialog style, font is "MS Shell Dlg" and DS_SETFONT | DS_FIXEDSYS styles are set.

Hi

After spending a month solid porting my app to unicode, I now have the fun of trying to get everything working again.

One problem I'm having is the edit controls - CEdit.

By default it seems it uses a font that doesn't support unicode, so any non-ansi chars show up as vertical bars (like a password control).

I've seen "solutions" reported that involve adding code to manually set a new font for every edit control in your app.

I've got hundreds of these around the place. It's unbelievable I would have to write code for each one surely?

Is there any way to get this to happen on a global basis? i.e. some func that will set the font for all dialogs?

Even skinning it might work for that?]]> Wed, 22 Apr 2009 23:45:52 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14112&PID=48255&title=unicode-and-edit-controls#48255
