Unicode and List View common control

Hello!
I've got a Win32API nonMFC C++ program, which is compiled with UNICODE directive. Program is run under Win2000. I have in that application a dialog box with a List View control. When I ask IsWindowUnicode(), it replies with TRUE. I add an item to it with some non-ascii and non-local codepage characters in widechar string. I ask for the text and i compare it char by char and it is the same. But list view displays instead of those chars an thick vertical line. When I create a file named exactly like that string, Windows Explorer displays those chars OK. How can I make my list view to properly display non-ascii and non-local codepage characters?

Thanks in advance,
MyS

Can you show the code you're using to add the text to the listview?

listitem.mask = LVIF_TEXT | LVIF_IMAGE | LVIF_PARAM;
listitem.iItem = iIndex;
listitem.iSubItem = 0;
listitem.pszText = LPSTR_TEXTCALLBACK;
listitem.iImage = 0;
listitem.lParam = (LPARAM) pItemData;
if(ListView_InsertItem(hwndList, &listitem) == -1)
return FALSE;

Callback notification:

case LVN_GETDISPINFO:
LV_DISPINFO pnmv = (LV_DISPINFO *) lParam;
if (pnmv->item.mask & LVIF_TEXT)
{
ITEMDATA * pItem = (ITEMDATA *) pnmv->item.lParam;
switch (pnmv->item.iSubItem)
{
case 0:
lstrcpyn(pnmv->item.pszText, pItem->szItemName, pnmv->item.cchTextMax);

.....

I hope pretty standard. But I don't think the problem is in this.
