Hello

(pure C and SDK, XP/7)

I try to read a directory with cyrillic and western mixed file names.
I use FindFirstFileW, WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UFT8...

when i write the filename to a text file all is correct (with fwrite)
when i add the filename to a listbox i get garbage, idem if i use
MessageBoxA to display the filename

any idea ?
Jean

Either use MessageBoxW() or SetThreadLocale() to change the current
locale with an UTF8 codepage.

I tried SetThreadLocale but it's the same effect

Hello Jean,

please post the code.

If you converted the strings to UTF8, you cannot add them to a Windows
control. If your project is Unicode, strings must be coded UCS-2 LE (WCHAR,
WideChar) to use them for the APIs.

I do not understand what you mean by "idem" (English ist not my mother
tongue)?
All unicode APIs expect WideChar, not UTF8.

To expand a bit on an earlier reply:
Functions with names ending in "W" expect Unicode arguments. Functions
with names ending in "A" expect ANSII arguments. So you can't use the
same string in both. You can use WideCharToMultiByte and
MultibyteToWideChar to translate between the two types of string, but
then you have two strings (one Unicode and one ANSII).
