That is EVIL and (the programmers) God is punishing you.

See "The Complete Guide to C++ Strings, Part I - Win32 Character Encodings"[^].

Solution 3

You are using LPCWSTR casts on ASCII character strings so the system thinks those strings are in Unicode. This is not a good thing to do; remove the casts and it should work.

Instead of "only select... use L"only select...
Windows programs are UNICODE unless explicitly used ASCII. So read more about UNICODE.

Solution 6

you should use _T("") to tell compiler you are using unicode.
by the way ,that's not chinese,may be some messy code that looks like chinese

Solution 1

you're casting a narrow string to a wide string

wrap the text in the _T() macro

MessageBox(NULL, _T("text1"), _T("text2"), MB_OK);

Solution 2

Solution 1 will work.
Or you can use MessageBoxA instead of MessageBox and please stop typecasting.
It is evil.
