Thanks Lukas, but you kind of lost me there. I'm using BCB 2006 and the data is stored as regular ANSI into a StringList. Can I then use
pMM->AddPartTextEx( pStringList, NULL, UTF_8, true, ME_8BIT ); 2009/2/16 Lukas Gebauer <gebyl...@mlp.cz>: >> pMM->AddPartTextEx( pStringList, NULL, ISO_8859_1, true, ME_8BIT ); >> >> Is is possible to change that line so that all current English users >> and the new Greek user would be supported?
