6.1 ocx Problem?

[kent01142]

my customer is from China and they need to input Chinese into the edit fields such as Description, comment, reference and so on. The standard UI does support user to input Chinese into those fields but after I drop the ocx into vb and run (without any code added), I found that all those fields cannot hold Chinese characters (tested with Japanese character, work!) and I found that user can input Chinese characters which suppose to be not.

I also found that when I copy the chinese character from the custom UI into the description field and its work but when I copy the character from somewhere else, for example from standard UI, it only shows garbled text.

Do anyone has this problem as well?

my dev is windows XP, vb6 sp6, SDK 6.1. I also tried with windows 7 64bit, vb6 sp6 and SDK 6.0, both got the same result.

Are you running the Accpac Chinese overlays? Did you install Advanced Text services and the chinese keyboard?

I am running the english UI with Advanced Text services and the chinese keyboard installed, as I can type in Chinese characters on the original screen even in the english UI with the same environment, therefore I think there must be some font problem and effecting the custom screen.

And this problem only occur in 6.1 ocx as I tested with 5.5, 5.6 and 6.0, all of them are working
