hi
as i tried to change objects caption (text) in my program to farsi langauge, i noted that the text will replace with ??? or some unreadable characters!
is it possible to write a program with farsi support?!

Yes, it's possible using the Windows API Unicode functions. But, if you're not in a hurry, you'd better wait a bit. Next PB release will probably make using Unicode much easier...

and when will be the next release? as i saw before each new version takes long time , may be 3-4 monthes.
by the way i don't need input or output in farsi, i just want to have a farsi text on my command box and other stuffs.
the only way is windows api yet?

The next version - v4 - is a huge upgrade of PureBasic it might be a while (although Fred and said he something about a possibility of a pre-christmas release last year, so it might'nt be that long).

You used the 'create unicode executable' switch ?

Be patient!

We are not feeding Fr34k until he makes a unicode IDE

you don't need an unicode editor to create unicode programs!?!

The problem is with the visual designer, it's compiled without unicode support.

Its compiled in PB 3.81

so i think the new visual designer will come out very soon. cause when there is a lot of new features in pb 4 so the dedicated visual designer must support them
