Display Chinese in VC++ 6

[bruce1234]

I have a game source code that has been built in VC++ 6. Problem is when I try to display a Chinese message in a message box (that is customized message box to display in game interface), but the Chinese message is always broken. This is function:

BOOL Message_Box(char * msg, int Button, void (*pProcOK)(), void (*pProcCancel)()){
  CMsgDlg dlg;
  int nCnt = 100;
  int nIndex = 0;
  do {
    nIndex = FindMsgDlg(nCnt);
    if(nIndex == -1)
      break;
    nCnt++;
  } while(true);
  dlg.SetDlg(g_hMainWnd, nCnt, Button, msg, pProcOK, pProcCancel);
  g_vtDlgList.push_back(nCnt);
  g_vtMsgBox.push_back(dlg);
  ShowDlg(dlg.GetIndex());
  return FALSE;
}

How can I call?

Message_Box("你没有足够的钱进入房间。", MB_OK);
And this is result when it displays on message box:

??有足?的??入房?

Can somebody give me some idea?
Thank you so much.

the chinese character set cannot be represented using the ANSI version of the API. You need to use the UNICODE version. i.e. wchar_t instead of char and L"..." instead of "..."

Change your project settings to UNICODE

Thanks for your answer.
Could you explain to me more about how can I change project settings to Unicode? Do you mean that changing format of .cpp file when saving?

Look into the MSDN documentation, if you have it installed.

And if you can't find relevant settings, I suggest you reinstall VC++ 6.0, and be sure to select the Unicode MFC libraries. Because they are unchecked in a default setup, I think.

Also be sure to use the latest service pack:

The problem is that VC++6 is pretty old. Better get a more recent version like vc++2008 (there you're indeed able to choose the code page -> "Advanced Save option")
