In this talk we will demonstrate and discuss the design of an
OLE full server application that displays Unicode and all installed
character sets on a Win32 (Windows NT or Windows 95/98) system.
Incorporating the Unicode character database maintained by the
Unicode Consortium the program allows viewing all of Unicode by its
block structure along with details about each character. Using the
multibyte-widechar mapping functions in conjunction with Unicode
rendering, the program can also display all single and multibyte
character sets installed on the system. Additionally, the program
can show the effects of Win32 functions that perform monocasing and
character typing. Since the program runs nearly the same in Windows
NT as in Windows 95/98 its underlying architecture is also
interesting as a model for building Unicode applications that work
well in both environments. The location of a website containing full
source will be provided.
