Hi,
I want to use the Win32API, however the API I use need the WChar string as a
parameter.
So how can I convert a ruby string into WChar String?

Thanks very much.

Hi,
Thank you for your hint, but I have searched it all around the world with
Google and also searched the archives.
Maybe I used a wrong Key words, I found nothing I want.

Could you give me something more information?

Thanks very much.

Maybe this will help you (maybe not):

I've been googling for "site:blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp ruby-talk archives windows
wide character", you can try digging through that too.

Thank you,
In fact I have found this post before.
It indicate the difference between Ruby string and UTF16 string.
I have tried to find a ruby way (Beatifully and simply), it seems I should
do it manually now. :frowning:

Any way, thank you very much.
