I am not able to get the Simplified (GB) characters entered in NJStar Communicator to my application. I had thought all that would be necessary is for my application to support a Paste function, and that I could invoke the Paste to pull the characters NJStar Communicator puts in the clipboard. Is this how it should work? Or what am I doing wrong, please? Thank you.

You do not pull from clipboard, you simply wait for windows message.

In NJStar Communicator v2.73 or above:

1. NJStar will first check if the target windows can accept Unicode directly.
If Yes, NJStar will send the Cginese char via WM_UNICHAR message. It no goto 2.

If you are geting question marks (?) or under_scores, then your application has converted Unicode to DBCS incorrectly (by using English codepage).

[This is new in v2.7 and there is an option in IME Options to disable it by using Clipboard only].

2. NJStar put BOTH Unicode and DBCS on clipboard and send a CTRL+V to target window. When you received WM_PASTE message , you should get the CF_TEXT from clicpboard, or convert the CF_UNICODETEXT to any DBCS code you like.
