Question

I am making a win32 application using visual studio 2008.

When ever i compile my code which generates a simple dialog, all of the dialogs text show in Chinese language. I have not set Chinese anywhere. can some one elaborate what the issue is?

My code is

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(
    HINSTANCE   nowInstance,
    HINSTANCE   prevInstance,
    LPSTR   ipCmdLine,
    int     nCmdShow
    )
{
    MessageBox(NULL,"My First Program","Our University",MB_OK); 

    return 0;
}

Answer 1

It sounds like you’re mixing Unicode and ANSI.

Have you tried

MessageBox(NULL, _T("My First Program"), _T("Our University"), MB_OK);

And does that give you the expected results?
