I have a large MFC application that I am extending to allow for multi-lingual input. At the moment I need to allow the user to enter Unicode data in edit boxes on a single dialog. Is there a way to do this without turning UNICODE or MBCS on for the entire application? I only need a small part of the application converted at the moment. Is it possible to do this piecewise, and if so, how? Clarification: I could use ::GetWindowTextW() to get Unicode information out of the window. I am trying to figure out how to allow the user to enter Unicode text in the window. Currently, characters the user

I couldn't find this exitcode anywhere but hopefully one of you could help me or let me know if this is a bug in python/Django. Anyway, first here's the stacktrace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Sitezooi\SiteTest\manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\__init_ _.py", line 385, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "C:\Program Files\Python\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\__init_ _.py", line 377, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv

In different encodings of Unicode, for example UTF-16le or UTF-8 , a character may occupy 2 or 3 bytes. Many Unicode applications doesn't take care of display width of Unicode chars just like they are all Latin letters. For example, in 80 -column text, which should contains 40 Chinese characters or 80 Latin letters in one line, but most application (like Eclipse, Notepad++, and all well-known text editors, I dare if there's any good exception) just count each Chinese character as 1 width as Latin letter. This certainly make the result format ugly and non-aligned. For example, a tab-width of 8

The Windows _setmbcp function allows any valid code page... (except UTF-7 and UTF-8, which are not supported) OK, not supporting UTF-7 makes sense: Characters have non-unique representations and that introduces complexity and security risks. But why not UTF-8? As I understand it, the "ANSI" versions of the Windows API functions convert their arguments to UTF-16, call the equivalent "W" function, and convert any strings in the output to "ANSI". This is what I've been doing manually. So why can't Windows do it for me? The "ANSI" codepage is basically legacy: Windows 9X era. All modern software
