C# Display unicode text in the caption of a message box

Question

Hello,

C# 2005.

My application supports 2 langauges English and Thai.

However, in my message box for the caption it will display question marks i.e. ???????????? when I have to display Thai langauge.

The message box string text is ok. That displays ok. However, its just the caption that is having a problem.

Do I need to enable unicode in the messages boxes somehow?

Many thanks,

The MessageBox caption have no problems with unicode characters. My guess (without having seen any code) is that the string for the caption has gone through some processing that does not support unicode.

Have you tried to display a MessageBox with hard-coded Thai text in the caption? If that shows OK you should follow the caption string backwards in your code and determine where it gets "de-unicodified".
