VB6, CJ Textbox, Save to UTF-8 File

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I can copy and then paste Japanese characters in UTF-8 from Notepad++ to my VB6 app that uses the CJ textbox control without any problems. The characters appear in the textbox exactly as they do in Notepad++.

My problem is that when I save the contents of the textbox to a disk file, it gets converted back to ANSI and the Japanese characters are replaced with question marks.

I have used an ADODB.stream to create the UTF-8 encoded file realizing that VB6's built in Open and Print #fn commands are ANSI and StrConv(myStr, vbUnicode) returns text encoded as UTF-16.

I'm obviously doing something wrong so I was hoping someone had a VB6 example of how to save the text in a CJ textbox to a UTF-8 encoded text file.

Thanks.
