Unicode characters in Folder's name
"Ismael Bejarano" <ismaelbej[ at ]gmail.com> 6/20/2006 8:36:15 PM
I try to create a simple addin for Outlook 2002 that create a new
folder which name contains unicode characters, with some characters it
just throw an exception, with others it just show question character
instead '?', and other work fine (like greek letters).

It's possible to use unicode characters in folder's name? Is there an
additional requirement for Outlook?

Outlook 2003 is the first truly Unicode version of Outlook.
Does your code work Ok with Outlook 2003? Can you create folders with the
same names through the Outlook UI rather than programmatically?

Thanks for the info, I try with Outlook 2003 and work ok.

I was trying to add international support to my addin. Do you know how
to add support for eastern languages in previous version?

You can try to use WideCharToMultibyte() to convert to an ANSI string first.
Where exactly does the name to be set come from?
