SUMMARY
Unlike Windows NT, Windows 95 does not implement the Unicode (or wide
character) version of most Win32 functions that take string parameters.
With some exceptions, these functions are implemented as stubs that simply
return success without modifying any arguments.
In general, Windows 95 implements the ANSI version of these functions.
See the Win32 API documentation for information on particular functions
and differences between the various Win32 platforms.
One major exception to this rule is OLE. All native 32-bit OLE APIs
and interface methods use Unicode exclusively. For more information on
this, please see the OLE documentation.
Excluding OLE, Windows 95 supports the wide character version of the
following functions:
EnumResourceLanguages
EnumResourceNames
EnumResourceTypes
ExtTextOut
FindResource
FindResourceEx
GetCharWidth
GetCommandLine
GetTextExtentExPoint
GetTextExtentPoint32
GetTextExtentPoint
lstrlen
MessageBoxEx
MessageBox
TextOut
In addition, Windows 95 implements the following two functions for
converting strings to or from Unicode:
MultiByteToWideChar
WideCharToMultiByte
Additional query words: 4.00
