Does (or will) PBDLL support Double-byte characters or unicode? Many people in our office are using win2000 and their systems support input and output of kanji characters. With a bit of work I can get VB to handle this even when developed on an english system but I was wondering what experiences people have had with PB in this regard.
Also, API's like NetUserAdd() for adding users to NT domains require usernames and password passed as null terminated unicode strings. in VB you can do:
Dim MyStr as String
MyStr = "MyUserID"
MyStr = StrConv(MyStr, vbUnicode)
and for a lptr you can throw the string into a byte array and use
lptrUserID = VarPtr(ByteArray(0))
If Windows is (has) gone unicode and international, shouldn't Powerbasic follow seeing as it's a windows compiler? (Or are we going linux
)
