Ascii Text to Unicode conversion

[isocam]

Can anybody help???

I have the following visual basic code:

sFileName = "C:\Test Folder\Test.dxf"

sFileName = StrConv(sFileName, vbUnicode)

msgbox (sFileName)

But, when I run it it does not seem to work.

(All I require is the UniCode equivalent)

Has anybody got any suggestions

Many thanks in advance!!!

What's the ultimate goal?

Hi,

Many thanks for your reply!

I need to send a Unicode string to a windows API, but the filename that I am using in ASCII.

The API is located in a commercially available dll file.

Kindest Regards

The MSGBOX won't display the unicode characters, but if you hover over the variable sFileName while in debug mode, it should show you the proper characters.

You can confirm it via the method below:

MsgBox StrConv(sFileName, vbFromUnicode)
