hello,
I have an interop user controls projects using Interop Forms Toolkit 2.1. All wen well, until we started typing unicode in the text box interop control. If we set our language to Chinese, and type, we get Korean. same for other language. We are using Arial Unicode font, and works in vb.net interop project, but not vb6. The strange thing is, if I put a breakpoint in vb6 on the Keypress event, and step through it using F8, all works well and displays the proper unicode characters. I have no codes in these events. we spent a month building this project thinking it will work, untill we got this suprise. Works well if we copy and paste into the text box.

Any help is appreciated.

In my experience, generally such thing happens when there is a race between any two calls. Generally, a delay/sleep of few millisecond to a second for the call that can wait resolves it. This might or might not resolve but worth a try. Put a dummy loop (or thread sleep) in your key press event and see if that delay helps.
