sorry........... i found the main problem happens when i perform clipboard.gettext , the output of this command is ????????? when the clipboard is holding an Arabic word.

I have VB6 service pack 6 , and i tried to export the text of a text box which is written into Arabic , and everything went perfect and the output was clear Arabic , but my problem here is with the clipboard.gettext command.

So plz help me and tell me what to do

This is apperently an issue when you use RichTextBoxes. If you can avoid them, do so.
