Hi,
I want to get the Unicode text of a rich edit control as 8 bit characters. I
want the Unicode characters converted to 8 bit as if by WideCharToMultiByt
where the code page is as defined by the RTF control word \ansicpg .
Currently, when I get the text the non-ASCII characters are translated to
0x3F ?
I tried using the GetWindowText() function and the EM_GETTEXTRANGE message.
Is there any way I can do this?
Thanks,
Gary
