I am trying to provide Chinese/Japanese characters to the combobox but the value is not set .
When using English combobox works fine and accepts the value.
Can somebody provide any solution for the problem ?
Here is the way I'm setting it :
IComboBox combobox;
combobox.Text = workFlowToBeUpdated;

does it throw any error message or simply display blank ?

No it doesn't throw any error just that it doesn't accept any value.

Do you change the font for the non-English?

Do you set Right to Left for the non-English?

Alternative is to draw the text yourself.

Member 11783079 23-Jun-15 0:33am

no we are not doing anything like that for non English characters
