Asian Language Caption for Command Button

Hi i'm new here,

I have question about put Asian language into Caption of Command Button (active x).

The problem is some of alphabet like ớ (in my case it's Vietnamese) will display as ? in Caption.
How do i fix that?

I have tried some technique but none of them work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Zyphers,
i had the same problem with Pashto language. I used the ChrW-function to solve the problem.

For example if you want to use "ớ" in your vba code it will appear as "?". What you can do is to find out the ChrW-number of "ớ". That would be ChrW(7899). So instead of typing "ớ" in your code you just type ChrW(7899) instead. That would work i think.

Now how to find out which letter has which number for ChrW. Well i found it out by recording a macro in MS word in which i typed one pashto letter after another. In the recorded code i could then see ChrW number for each typed pashto letter.

Example:

you want to replace "ớ" by "§" in your excel file with the help of a macro. The macro would look like this ( i just recorded one and replace "?" with ChrW(7899)):


{instead of .Text="ớ" you type .Text = ChrW(7899)}

I would suggest that you first find ChrW numbers for all letters of your langauge and make an excel table for that. So you dont have to search for them in future.

I hope it helps!

Alright, Thanks so much.

I will tell the result after I try.

Ok thanks again it works but ..not really complete.

I followed you advice. So here is my code

The ChrW$(&H1EDB) will be like what you said. But here is what it happen.. When i click the button the caption change correctly but when i click on other part of my sheet the caption go back to ? again! And when i click the button again it went back to correct character!

I don't understand why it became like this.. i'm almost done it.
Thanks in advance

Hi,

it works fine with me here. Try ChrW(&H1EDB) instead of ChrW$(&H1EDB). The "$" before "(" must be removed.

I changed it but still got the same problem
I feel that it might be something to do with my window setting somehow?

P.S. I also link from that duplicated thread to here. So now they're linked. Apologize for inconvenient.

Sorry but dont know what is wrong!

Alright, anyway thanks so much for all.
So now i have direction for my solution.

Whenever i find it. i'll come back and post it here
