Multilanguage support
I have some old program which doesn't handle correctly data in non-English language. I can type successfully non-English (for example, Russian) text in textboxes. Data is successfully written to database and extracted from it. However, listboxes and tree controls display this data as black rectangles.
Trying to reproduce this, I create new MFC application with VC++ 8.0, but it works correctly.
Some information about old project. It was created in VC++ 6.0, in Unicode configuration. Later it was converted to VC++ 8.0. It contains executable project and number of MFC extension Dll. Executable project contains only main frame, all other stuff (dialogs etc.) is in Dll.
What can be a reason of this behavior?

When I did the same in the new project (added Dll with dialog), it works. So, the problem is old Dll projects.
If it works with VC 8 isn't just recompiling an option to 'fix' it
Is it a font problem in the display?

It is recompiled under VC++ 8.0.
>> Is it a font problem in the display?
I don't know, I run both programs on the same computer. Old project doesn't work, new one works. All controls are standard, I don't select any font for them.

I think you need to create unicode font as shown in SetControlsFont() in above link... Also refer other functions..

Good guess. I compared fonts in the new project (this is just small test project) and old project. Both have the same font - Microsoft Sans Serif. But I changed font in old project to Courier New, and now Russian text "Ivan Petrovich :)" is shown. Now I know what to do, thank you!
mahesh1402, thanks, but this link is not for my case.

Then I did the same in the dialog in MFC extension Dll. Text is not displayed correctly in the listbox. How can I fix this?
