Topic: CommonDialog doesn't return unicode file names

I'm using CodeJock CommonDialog control with a legacy VB6 system. I'm using the ShowOpen method to get file names from the user.

The problem is that filenames in Arabic, Thai and other languages return as question marks. Hebrew, for some reason, returns OK - might be because my system is setup to use Hebrew for non-unicode applications.

Isn't the CommonDialog based on GetOpenFileName, which has a unicode version (GetOpenFileNameW)? Is there a way to make it all work in unicode?

Are you sure you're using the Unicode version of the XtremeSuiteControls component? You may need to use CodeJock's COM Registrator tool to register the correct version.
