VirtualMode & MySQL

[engee30]

It's me again.
Is it true that while working in VirtualMode, there's no Unicode support? I've got some other stuff in the db which doesn't show properly. I just tried the same stuff in the normal mode and it's fine there.

There is Unicode support in virtual mode, but you need to make the native list view believe that it is used inside a Unicode window so that it sends Unicode notification messages. I'll provide a sample project tonight or tomorrow.

Oh that'd be great. I wouldn't have a clue how to do that.

See the attached file. Basically you need to subclass the list view's parent window (in this case it is the Form) and intercept the WM_NOTIFYFORMAT message. The native list view sends this message to its parent window. The response to this message decides how the list view will communicate with its parent window: ANSI or Unicode.
Some of ExplorerListView's events require this communication to use Unicode, otherwise the events won't support Unicode. The ItemGetDisplayInfo event is one of those events.

This is it. Another perfect solution did the trick. Cheers, TiKu.
Hopefully, there will be no complex issues with my project.

Kind regards,
