void ToClipboard(char* text)
{
    if(OpenClipboard(0))
    {
        EmptyClipboard();
        char* clip_data = (char*)(GlobalAlloc(GMEM_FIXED, MAX_PATH));
        lstrcpy(clip_data, text);
        SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT, (HANDLE)(clip_data));
        LCID* lcid = (DWORD*)(GlobalAlloc(GMEM_FIXED, sizeof(DWORD)));
        *lcid = MAKELCID(MAKELANGID(LANG_RUSSIAN, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL), SORT_DEFAULT);
        SetClipboardData(CF_LOCALE, (HANDLE)(lcid));
        CloseClipboard();
    }
}

Making an UNICODE application is also one option.

great thanks.
obvious problem and no easy decision. I even don't understand essence of problem

clipboard not a memory, but a hide notebook window?

[jj2007]

The essence of the problem is that you should use Unicode, UTF-16 and UTF-8. The old code pages are messy.

interesting the problem is to switch to RU language from ENG

shift ctrl or shit alt

The problem is most likely that he do not have a Russian version of Windows but an English version with a language pack.

I have an Italian OS, and my code above works just fine with Russian. How many times do we have to discuss this?

Attached the Chinese version. I definitely don't have a Chinese language pack, this is just standard Windows 7.

RichMasm, Wordpad, MS Word. It's a *.rtf file. Oops, I just realised it's called Chinese version but the text is Arabic - my bad

Not sure what the angle is here and why you insist on promoting this bullshit (you get paid for this?). Russians should use a Russian version of Windows for the same reason you use an Italian version. The Windows API's wont work without language support as it forces the use of Unicode.

You are truly obsessed with this weird Norwegian point of view. Get over it, Utf-8 and Utf-16 have been around for a really long time.

This is google translate.

This is a test of English to Russian text done in Google translation.

Это тест англо-русского текста, выполненный в переводе Google.

I could paste it directly into my editor but if you save it as text, reopening it produce ?????????? text. It needs a UNICODE editor. Tested in the UNICODE editor it displays correctly.
