[gui-dev] RE: [discuss] System Tray Menu

May be he is taking of my old source that updated this menu to display
icons and internationalized titles. The source is still there in CVS,
and effectively it display small icons for the system tray menu
options.

It was never released because I could not test what was wrong with it
on Windows 95 (although it seemed to work on Windows 98). The problem
was that the source was modified to correctly handle the Unicode
encoding returned from JNI strings.

Today, the old DLL (that is shipped now and for which you seem to have
lost its sources) does not display non-ASCII characters correctly (it
displays UTF-8 as if it was the local Windows ANSI codepage).

My source correctly converted the Java native UTF-16 to the local ANSI
codepage, if the Windows GUI did not support the Unicode version of the
API, or it used a conversion from UTF-16 to local ANSI codepage to
display strings with the 8-bit ANSI or DBCS interface. Normally, my DLL
should not perform any conversion on Windows NT, 2000, XP because it
uses the native Unicode interface that can display UTF-16 encoded
strings.

Today, even on Windows XP, French is not displayed properly, because
accented characters are shown with two glyphs, one for each byte
treated incorrectly as Windows codepage 1252...
