I'm learning API programming and used "MessageBoxW" to show Arabic unicode characters but this small program failed to show the Arabic characters correctly and rather of that it shows characters have no sense:
Code:#include <windows.h> #include <tchar.h> int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PSTR szCmdLine, int iCmdShow) { MessageBoxW (NULL, _TEXT (L"بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم"), _TEXT (L"HelloMsg"), 0) ; return 0 ; }
Well saying _TEXT and L together is redundant.
The _TEXT macro automatically puts an L in the result when in UNICODE mode.
Eg
_TEXT("HelloMsg")
I also had to save the source file as a UNICODE text file.
I tried the code with those changes.
The text seems right, but the default font is rather small.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Maybe I've out-of-date tools. thanks!
