I have implemented a 3. party tool window control (located in a DLL) and
this control sends me data with the WM_NOTIFY
The problem is that this data include a text buffer that seems to be UNICODE
formatted.
I should NOT be that.
Is there any chance that it beleeve my application is Unicode and therfore
send me unicode strings?
And if so - how can I tell the 3. party tool that i am not UNICODE

And how can I transform a UNICODE string to a "normal" string?

It depends on the control. What kind of control is it?

Use the Windows WideCharToMultiByte function, or the C runtime wcstombs
function.

You can use WideCharToMultiByte(), just set the code page to CP_ACP
if you want ANSI text. Just note that you'll be taking text from a
set of 65535 characters and mapping them to a set with 255 characters,
so beware.

The 3. part tool I use is QHTML (Simple and easy HTML control).
http://www.gipsysoft.com/qhtm/

They have a callback function for hyperlinks.
When a user press a hyperlink the control sends a WM_NOITIFY to
me and I can handle it my self of let the control handle it.

The lParam parameter struct:
typedef struct tagNMQHTM
{
NMHDR hdr;
LPCTSTR pcszLinkText;
LRESULT resReturnValue;
LPCTSTR pcszLinkID;
} NMQHTM, FAR *LPNMQHTM;


This is my code:
if(code==QHTMN_HYPERLINK)
{
//LPNMQHTM pnm = reinterpret_cast<LPNMQHTM>(lParam);
LPNMQHTM pnm = (LPNMQHTM)lParam;
pnm->resReturnValue = TRUE; // pass it as default
if(pnm->pcszLinkText)
{
if(StrStrI(pnm->pcszLinkText,"mailto:"))
{
pnm->resReturnValue = FALSE; // I hanlde it
MessageBox(NULL,pnm->pcszLinkText,pnm->pcszLinkText,0);
}
}
}
}
