Unicode problem

Hi!

We're using v12.0.1 in VB6 and have major issues with Unicode.

We have not experienced this problem before since normally we are developing in English Vista with Norwegian locale.

When switching Current language for non-unicode programs to Russian things go wrong.

We have checked and double checked that we're using the Unicode version of the controls. When displaying the Unicode property of the controls it says True.

What happens is that it will NOT show Norwegian (and other language specific characters) in controls.

When typing in Flatedit it will only show standard latin and russian chars depending on the keyboard layout chosen. So it will not accept Norwegian chars when Norwegian keyboard is chosen.

It will not show Norwegian chars in combos etc. Actually no controls will show Norwegian and other language specific chars.

One strange thing is that when choosing Norwegian in Current language for non unicode programs it WILL show Russian chars in controls, ie at least combos that we have tried.

When using the controls from CyberActiveX the Unicode works perfectly. So we know that the data we use is Unicode.

It's not an option to upgrade to the latest version of the controls since we have big installations on networks that need to be rolled out again. This is an almost impossible task.

UPDATE: After further checking we found out that this only happens in the VB6 IDE, and not in the running exe file. But again this still makes it very hard for us to develop the program since it will not be possible to develop and debug.

Thanks,
David
