IMultiLanguage2::ConvertStringFromUnicodeEx method

Translates the source Unicode string to the specified multibyte code page.

Syntax

HRESULT ConvertStringFromUnicodeEx(
  [in, out] DWORD     *pdwMode,
  [in]      DWORD     dwEncoding,
  [in]      WCHAR     *pSrcStr,
  [in, out] UINT      *pcSrcSize,
  [in]      __wchar_t *pDstStr,
  [in, out] UINT      *pcDstSize,
  [in]      DWORD     dwFlag,
  [in]      WCHAR     *lpFallBack
);

Parameters

  • pdwMode [in, out]
    The storage for conversion context. A calling function should provide only storage that is initialized with zero at the first call to the method. The caller should not modify this value.

  • dwEncoding [in]
    The code page identifier value for the destination multibyte string. This value is equivalent to the uiCodePage member of the MIMECPINFO structure assigned to dwEncoding.

  • pSrcStr [in]
    A pointer to the Unicode string to be converted.

  • pcSrcSize [in, out]
    A pointer to the buffer that stores the length of the source string, in character counts. If this is NULL, or if -1 is specified as the length, the API assumes pSrcStr is null-terminated. When conversion is successful, the function returns the number of characters processed to this buffer.

  • pDstStr [in]
    A pointer to the string buffer where the conversion result is stored.

  • pcDstSize [in, out]
    A pointer to the buffer that stores the length of pDstStr, in byte counts. When conversion is successful, the function returns the number of bytes copied to pDstStr to this buffer.

  • dwFlag [in]
    One of the MLCONVCHAR-defined bit flag values. A caller can specify the MLCONVCHARF_USEDEFCHAR constant, which indicates that when the API encounters an unconvertible character in pSrcStr, the sequence of characters in lpFallBack is used in its place.

  • lpFallBack [in]
    The null-terminated sequence of Unicode characters that are output in place of an unconvertible Unicode character when the dwFlag parameter is set to MLCONVCHARF_USEDEFCHAR.

Return value

Returns one of the following values.

Return code Description
S_OK

Success.

S_FALSE

The conversion specified is not supported on the system.

E_FAIL

An error has occurred.

 

Remarks

Note that the size of the Unicode string to be converted is specified with a character count, while the size of the multibyte string returned is given in bytes.
