Hi,

My problem:
I am using a unicode-enable keyboard driver for typing vietnamese words in edit ctrl, it is OK when typing them in MFC's edit ctrl, but in U++ it is different, suppose I have vietnamese words: "nguyễn đức việt", all I got from U++'s edit ctrl is "nguy�n ��c vi�t" that is not the expected one.

Well, this is a little bit hard to resolve without having your Win version...

Basically, U++ accepts UNICODE that comes from Win32, and uses Win32 UNICODE output on the screen. It is really weird what went wrong here...

I have just tried to copy/paste the text above into U++ editfield and everything seems ok (please, try that too). That would point to input...

Hacking U++ is easy. The relevant code for this is in CtrlCore/CtrlKbd.cpp; Ctrl::DispatchKey at line 39. I believe that placing some LOGs there should reveal whether U++ is accepting / routing the right unicodes... (I cannot do that here because I do not have vietnamese kbd Wink
