IMultiLanguage2::ConvertStringFromUnicodeEx Method

---

Translates the source Unicode string to the specified multibyte code page.

Syntax

HRESULT ConvertStringFromUnicodeEx(
    DWORD *pdwMode,
    DWORD dwEncoding,
    WCHAR *pSrcStr,
    UINT *pcSrcSize,
    CHAR *pDstStr,
    UINT *pcDstSize
    DWORD dwFlag,
    LPWSCR lpFallBack,
);

Parameters

pdwMode

[in, out] Storage for conversion context. A calling function should only provide storage that is initialized with zero at the first call to the method. The caller should not modify this value.

dwEncoding

[in] Code page identifier value for the destination multibyte string. This value is equivalent to the uiCodePage member of the MIMECPINFO structure assigned to dwEncoding.

pSrcStr

[in] Address of the Unicode string that is to be converted.

pcSrcSize

[in, out] Address of the buffer that stores the length of the source string, in character counts. If this is NULL, or if -1 is specified as the length, the API assumes pSrcStr is null-terminated. When conversion is successful, the function returns the number of characters processed to this buffer.

pDstStr

[in] Address of the string buffer where the conversion result will be stored.

pcDstSize

[in, out] Address of the buffer that stores the length of pDstStr, in byte counts. When conversion is successful, the function returns the number of bytes copied to pDstStr to this buffer.

dwFlag

[in] One of the MLCONVCHAR-defined bit flag values. A caller can specify the MLCONVCHAR_USEDEFCHAR constant, which indicates that when the API encounters an unconvertible character in pSrcStr, the sequence of characters in lpFallBack is to be used in its place.

lpFallBack

[in] Null-terminated sequence of Unicode characters that are output in place of an unconvertible Unicode character when the dwFlag parameter is set to MLCONVCHAR_USEDEFCHAR.

Return Value

Returns one of the following values:

S_OK	Success.
S_FALSE	The conversion specified is not supported on the system.
E_FAIL	An error has occurred.

Remarks

Note that the size of the Unicode string to be converted is specified with a character count, while the size of the multibyte string returned is given in bytes.
