Hi again. I also forgot to mention 2 other things. (1). depending on the
charactor you are trying to display, i.e if its chinese you will have to
set the default charset in the fonts property of the label, AND (2) the
other thing is too, that the caption property for the TLabel control is a
string. you really need it to be a WideString to enable it to decypher
and display unicode chars...some time.
Down in the bowels of the TLabel control there is infact provision for
widestrings, but they are never used.
This is a big oversight on borlands part I think personally.
If you want try unicode, the best this is also to import the frm20.dll
which are the MS forms 2.0 which is what VB uses. Import the type lib,
and then you will have a series of controls, and then are fuly unicode
compatable. (just a thought)
Cheers, Jeremy Coulter
