Hello Everyone,

Please see below code.

Visual basic 6.0>

VB

Private Declare Function ReadAppString Lib "ApplicationString.dll" Alias "ReadApplicationString" _ (ByVal AppName As String, ByVal VersionName As String ) As Boolean

As in above method (ReadApplicationString) parameters are of String type that is ASCII version.

However,in ApplicationString.dll, ReadApplicationString() method parameters type are of WCHAR type ( unicode version).

As there is mismatch in signature, I see AppName, VersionName parameters are not able to accommodate wchar characters.

Query: How to accommodate unicode characters in VB, basically, Iwould like to know which data type should be used here.
Please share your ideas.

Regards,
Joy

I'm not getting it: VB6 or VB.NET? VB6 does not support anything, I would say, it does not support programming... :-)

For vb6, maybe StrConv can help you out (check link). But I think you really need to consider ending the vb6 adventure.
