Japanese Characters in VBA Forms

P

Paul Mathews

I'm trying to modify all the Form controls that hold text (e.g., labels,
command buttons, frames, etc.) on a VBA form so that the text displayed at
runtime is now Japanese rather than English. Some of these controls like
label and command button captions are able to display Japanese characters in
the form at run time (however, if you look at the caption property of any
such label or command button in the VBE, it looks like gobbledy gook). In
these controls, I just copied the translated text directly into the object on
the form in the VBE (it doesn't work if I attempt to copy the text into the
caption property itself). Other controls, like frame text and the text on the
tabs of a multipage control doesn't seem so willing to display anything but
English characters both in design and run time views (because I can't
directly copy the translated text into the object - I can only copy it to the
caption property). I'd be curious if anyone out there has done any
translation of VBA form elements to a language that doesn't use English
alphabetic characters and how they managed, if they managed at all, to get
the translated text into such controls as frames and multipage tab captions.
Thanks in advance.
