By default, visual studio doesn't install multi-language resource DLLs. We can install them manually. Follow the below steps:

1. Insert #1 CD of Visual Studio suite
2. Locate the file, named APPWZCHT.DLL / APPWZCHS.DLL, in the folder, Common \ MSDEV98 \ BIN \ IDE
3. Copy the file to <Microsoft Visual Studio> \ Common \ MSDEV98 \ BIN \ IDE
4. Restart VC
5. Create an MFC application project
6. In the Step 1, select the Chinese resource
7. Click Finish button
8. Now you can input Chinese in the dialog

In addition, APPWZCHT.DLL is for traditional Chinese, but APPWZCHS.DLL is for simplified Chinese.

with UNICODE chinese font you may able to display chinese characters in your application.

For example you may refer this : How to Display UNICODE Characters in a CListCtrl or a CEdit

Also You can download a version of VC++ 6.0's SP3 that has been localized for Simplified or Traditional Chinese.
