asci to unicode convert

how I can convert asci string to unicoce string ?

so I can use it in some API that need unicode string as input parameter.

I tried some functions suggested in ahk forum like :
DllCall("MultiByteToWideChar...
but got an empty string or only first char

is there a sample code code or syntax how to generate unicode string
so AHK can 'see' it and put it as parameter

Please take a look at how SKAN did this. Keep in mind that AHK doesn't support unicode natively, but this should work fine for feeding param into your dllcall.

Many thanks for this great function.

I have a problem using this char: ц (1094 or 0x0446), it is not being send, any Idea why?

hi Freakkk, all

I tried the SKAN ATOU,
and got same results:
the length of the Unicode string =1 ?
I think it should be the asci String Length * 2
and ofcourse the API didn't work.

do I have to change something in PC definitions ?
or add in AHK some parameter ?

Unicode by ahk

I would like to build with ahk loop the unicode string, means:
after each char (because the string is US-ASCI)
I want to add chr(0) : means add char that asc=0
but ahk chr is in range of 1-255.

how I add(concatenate) the asci code 0 (chr(0))
in AHK script ?

this will be good enough to solve the unicode API param

If you want to work with buffers containing data, not ASCII/ANSI strings, use VarSetCapacity and NumGet/Put.

Hi Laszo

how is the ahk syntax to do that ?
pls note I have to set it as unicode param to dllcall
also :
the string is actually US-ASCI so it's unicode key should be like:
KEY =ABCD-1234-5678
and it's unicode is like, I think:
KEU_uni := A . CHR(0) . B . CHR(0) . C chr(0) ... and so on

Hi Laszlo,
I tried your script
and it works

but when I add the KEY_uni as a parameter in dllCall
still I get error license of the API

do I need to pass the KEY_uni not as a string but may be by address ?
means:
dllCall("MyEngine\GetObject","str",KEY_uni,oEngine)
or I saw in GDip library(by tic) something like
dllCall("MyEngine\GetObject","UInt",&KEY_uni,oEngine)

as I notice when I treat KEY_uni as AHK string AHK shows only 1st char and length=1 even by your view of KEY_uni I see KEY length*2

so I think the problem remain the KEY_uni parameter passs by dllCall.

thanks for help

Look at the description of the GetObject function. It may require a structure in the first parameter, containing the length and the data. If only the raw data is required, "UInt",&KEY_uni,... should work. AHK strings are delimited by the first NUL.

hi

the simplest way to send unicode character if you know it is to send the alt code for it:

£ = Send,{Alt down}{Numpad0}{Numpad1}{Numpad6}{Numpad3}{Alt up}

csicky, AutoHotkey has built-in syntax for that:
However, it doesn't work for unicode in all cases.
