I'm from Macedonia and in code sometimes I send some message box with Macedonian Cyrillic Code page. I've a problem with code editor. At the beginning everything is fine. All characters are shown like it should. But if I change the Show Grid option, then after that all Cyrillic characters are shown like there isn't installed code page on the computer. I've tried every thing but didn't find a solution. The things that I discover is if you work as another user on the windows characters are fine (normally if you don't change show grid option). I've reinstall the visual studio and nothing happen. I still have the problem for the first user. I've import registry settings from user that have no problem but nothing happen.
Please help.
 
VB6 isn't totally Unicode aware. The part that definitely isn't is the forms package. Unless Microsoft sells a Cyrillic version of VB, you'll have to set all the text of your buttons, controls, etc. at run time -- lots of code like:
Code:
Button1.Text = "????????"
Label1.Caption = "?????"
The alternative is to switch to VB.NET, which is fully Unicode aware.

Whoops. Looks like Tek-Tips isn't fully Unicode-aware either -- that was supposed to be Macedonian Cyrillic in there.
