The Total
Commander comboboxes for the left and right drive list
are Unicode. However, Total Commander calls
SendMessage(handle,CB_ADDSTRING,0,(LPARAM)ansitext);
to add items as ANSI text. This seems to work, but it's adding some
extra text at the end.
If I understand correctly, Total Commander is calling SendMessage, which in
this case is translated to SendMessageW (as the comboboxes are Unicode).
No, the
fact that the combo boxes are unicode, doesn't mean TC is
calling SendMessageW, It could very well call SendMessageA and pass an
ansi string.
If it passes an ANSI string to SendMessageW then it's doing it wrong.
The message is supposed to be translated accordingly when it's passed to
the recevier, based on whether the receiving window is ANSI or unicode.
The problem also doesn't seem to be ANSI vs unicode, but the "extra text
at the end".
First thought: someone forgot that UNICODE_STRINGs are not neccessarily
0 terminated.
