We are using vb6.0 as development and all the diff APIs for our working.....
can anyone tell me how I can provide Unicode (UTF - 8) support to my project?
I can not develop it from scratch (no chance). do anyone know any 3rd party tool or API that will help me keep the UTF - 8 (stop vb to convert it into ANSI.. or something like that)...
and give me say arabic language in my object.
Pl help me I am in real trouble and on the deadline...
Thanks in advance.

try using a resource file, you can specify different string sets for different languages... i've not done this before though; but when working with resource files that's one of the primary suggested reasons for using them...
Resouce Files can be added to a VB6 project with the add-in manager, just go through the list until you find it. once there you can add resource files to your project. a resource file can contain pictures, strings, or data... data can be anything from movies to garbage files...
as for unicode... have you looked at StrConv?
StrConv(String, Conversion as vbStrConv, [LocaleID as Long])
hope this helps...
... there is no bug that enough coffee cannot fix...
