Multilanguage Printing

I have a VB6 application that needs to support
Multilanguage printing. Does anyone know of a way that
this might be accomplished using either VB6, the use of a
specific third party control, or in VB.Net (I would
create a DLL and call it from my VB6 application)?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Could you be more precise? Do you want to print a pre-
defined text or random text? Do you want the user to
select it, or look it up in the regional settings of
windows?
 
Thanks for the reply.

I have an Access database with Unicode (Chinese and Russian) data in it.
I’m using ADO to access the data fields, and I need to send them to the
Printer object:

Printer.font.name = “PmingLui”
Printer.Font.Size = 12
Printer.Print Recordset.Fields(“TextData”).value

What I get on the printer is a bunch of question marks (one for each
character).

The same characters will print fine from MS-Word (if I paste them in)

I’m not sure what to do.

Thanks,

Ron

Click to expand...

What's the problem in VB.NET with doing that?

For VB6, please post to one of the microsoft.public.vb.* groups.
 
I had posted the message here because although the app
was originally written in VB6, I would like to know if my
specific task might also be accomplished in VB.net -
especially because (to my knowledge) VB6 does not
intrinsically support printing Unicode.
