I'm a Chinese, and I use rcc to compiler my .rc file to .res, like this:
rcc test.rc -j1 -32.
then link it to my exe.
There are some chinese words in the test.rc, but I can't get correct result.
when I use Borland's brcc , it works correct. why?

And why the background of the dialog is white but not gray as normal?

Can you email me the rc file?

Make sure you target Windows 95, not Windows NT in case you're using the  IDDE. Also add the DS_3DLOOK to your dialog style.

Use a .def file or command line options as:
NAME		"AppName"

DESCRIPTION	'AppName'

EXETYPE		NT

SUBSYSTEM	WINDOWS,4.0

STUB		'WINSTUB.EXE'

CODE		 EXECUTE READ

DATA		 READ WRITE

STACKSIZE	1048576,4096

HEAPSIZE	1048576,4096

I just lack the DS_3DLOOK style, and now it looks fine.
Thank you very much.
But rcc still can't deal with the chinese characters. Any idea?
I use windowsXP.

Try to patch your RCC.EXE if you have RCC.EXE version 7.50B5 (292 864 bytes):

write 0x1 instead of 0x0 at file offset 0x43aa8.

But before, backup your RCC.EXE
;-----------------------------------------------------------
RCC incorrectly converts strings to Unicode.
Here is my explanation why RCC works so.

;it looks like mbstowcs function
