man
I have a system written by VB allow to input chinese, japanese and korean....
before, I use english windows nt 4.0 and njstar for data entry...

after upgrade to windows xp, I need to change the
"Language for non-unicode program" in regional setting and restart
when I need to input different langage....

Is there any solution to change the "Language for non-unicode program"
and no need to restart the computer as I always need to input different
languages?
Or can I change the VB system to allow input mutli-language without
changing the "Language for non-unicode program"?

Please help.....million thanks...

I don't know of any way around this. It would seem that VB can only user one
language at a time but I am clearly a beginner here.

I did want to ask you a question however. I posted this earlier today but
you might know the answer:

How can I convert the KeyAscii from a KeyPress event into the appropriate
displayable unicode character. Example:

Typing 木 using Chinese character returns -23316. ChrW() will not give me the
actual character and nor does StrConv() unless I am doing this incorrectly.
My user interface needs to be able to trap the keys and display them under my
control and I can't seem to get this to work.

Any help would be appreciated. I will try to see if I can find an answer to
your question as well.
