Support of Unicode OutputDebugStringW()

[RvanValen]

I see that DebugView++ does not show Unicode output as this moment when using OutputDebugStringW(). According to MS there is a configuration call required to handle this (WaitForDebugEventEx()) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/debugapi/nf-debugapi-outputdebugstringw

Will this be added to future versions of DebugView++?

Debugview++ does not support this new behaviour and there are no plans to support it. The reason is that all strings in Debugview++ are std::strings' that do not specify a specific encoding.

There is however a way to make it display UTF-8 encoded strings correctly by enabling this windows feature:

I've tested this with chinese UTF-8 strings and it worked well, see screenshots below.

I hope this can help.

Greetings,

Jan

Thank you for your quick response. Good to know.

Unfortunately the github ticket does not show me the images - it shows [image: image.png] instead. But I'll give UTF-8 a try.

The issue can be closed,

Best regards, Roger.
