Platform SDK: International Features |
The following Win32 functions translate character strings from one string type to another.
Function | Description |
---|---|
FoldString | Translates one character string to another. |
LCMapString | Maps a character string by locale. |
ToUnicode | Translates a virtual-key code into a Unicode character. |
MultiByteToWideChar | Maps a multibyte string into a wide-character string. |
WideCharToMultiByte | Maps a wide-character string into a multibyte string. |
The WideCharToMultiByte and MultiByteToWideChar functions are particularly useful for applications that support several string types. ANSI C also defines the conversion functions wcstombs and mbstowcs, but they can only convert to and from the character set supported by the standard C library.
