Translation Between String Types
The functions listed in the following table translate character strings from one string type to another.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| FoldString | Translates one character string to another. |
| LCMapString | Maps a character string by locale. |
| ToUnicode | Translates a virtual key code into a Unicode character. |
| MultiByteToWideChar | Maps a multibyte string to a Unicode string. |
| WideCharToMultiByte | Maps a Unicode string to a multibyte string. |
The WideCharToMultiByte and MultiByteToWideChar functions are particularly useful for applications that support several string types. ANSI C also defines the conversion functions wcstombs and mbstowcs, but they can only convert to and from the character set supported by the standard C library.
