Unicode to ANSI conversion when launching an application

[fenix_productions]

I understand that if I will try to load an application via button bar like below:

Code: Select all

button6=sample.exe
cmd6=D:\tool\sample.exe
param6=%n
path6=D:\tool\
menu6=sample

file "test.txt" will be sent to application as the command:

Code: Select all

sample.exe test.txt

Let's assume that sample.exe cannot handle Unicode filenames. What will happen? Will there be the possibility to send an ANSI string (e.g. %nA parameter) or Unicode will be always given?

P.S.

An additional function ListLoadW will be added:
HWND __stdcall ListLoad(HWND ParentWin,WCHAR* FileToLoad,int ShowFlags);

You've forgot W in function name

The button bar has nothing to do with plugins, the topic of this thread. The button bar will use ShellExecuteExW to call programs. Windows itself does the Unicode->Ansi conversion for non-Unicode programs here.

Thanks, corrected it.
