    I work and compile on a Win2000 box. The compiler and everything goes perfect. But when i run my programs on my Win98, some things aren't displayed (ie: the WS_EX_STATICEDGE).
    Thanx in advance.

      I am not sure but i think this EX things are designed for unicode support arent them? I dont know exactly how but that should have something to do with it.

      Maybe it is something concerning unicode support in Win98? I think that was done through a MS WinUpdate, not by default.

      The EX are the extended styles. They are stored in GWL_EXSTYLE in the window's data structure. Use CreateWindowEx with the first parameter the extended window styles.

      Unicode is something else. A normal character is only one byte large, thus allowing only 256 different combinations. This is really shitty for really complex alphabets or languageswith complex symbols (I think like mandarin and shit). In which case 2 bytes are used instead of one. Unicode is one of those things that all peters have to implement as they are building their app and not after. Hope that helps =)
