I amtrying to read and dispay as captions Unicode strings from a DLL.  I am
having trouble getting this to work.  Looking at all the post on the web
regarding VCL and Unicode gets very confusing. Simply stated, all I want to
do is get Uni strings from my dll which I am sure is fine.  There are so
many different variations that I really dont know which way to go.  There
are tips regarding using command line switches (-WU), wchar_t, WideString,
LoadString() and LoadStringW() and on and on....

Would it be possible to just correct the code below as needed?

Thanks,
kev

Here is what I have tried so far along with many different variations:

    hLHandles = LoadLibrary("Chinese.dll");

    if(hLHandles){
       char sTempBuffer[128];
       WideString WStr;
       String Str;
       wchar_t *wChar;

       LoadStringW( hLHandles, 4038,  WStr,  128);
OR
       LoadString( hLHandles, 4038,  sTempBuffer,  128);

OR ...

OR ...


       Form1->Caption = 'whatever'
    }
