Hi,

I need an small sample program in vb 6, using chinese character and unicode. I want to do translation in forms and menus.

VB6 forms are not Unicode aware.

There is a caveat to that -- VB6 was localized into several markets besides the US/Western Europe edition.

You might could find a Chinese (Simplified Chinese) or Taiwanese (Traditional Chinese) version of VB6, which should allow you to enter Chinese glyphs (only).

There are two choices.  The first is to use normal VB6 forms objects (edit controls, list boxes, etc.) and to specify a font charset, such as in this example, which happens to be for Czech characters:

Chinese would be identical code, except you would pick a charset among the following:

134 GB2312_CHARSET Simplified Chinese characters (mainland china).
136 CHINESEBIG5_CHARSET Traditional Chinese characters (Taiwanese).

An alternative is to add the Windows Forms 2.0 controls to your application, and these are fully Unicode capable -- and you'll have no problem displaying characters in any language.

Hope this helps.
