I think you have to use wchar var2[255]
That's working on a nonchinese windows version

[anonymous]

some win32api need char pointer.
wstr can use in dllcall（use in Struct can not work）.but i want use Struct ,not dllcall.

There are a lot of AutoIt3 groups using Chinese fans, so suggest modify the bug.

forgive my poor English ^_

[J-Paul Mesnage]

You have to use ShellAboutW with wstr and not ShellAbout.
ShellAbout is not using Unicode.
I cannot testit but

Return DllCall("shell32.dll","int","ShellAboutW", "hwnd",$hwnd, "wstr",$szApp, "wstr",$szOtherStuff, "hwnd",0)

should work

Such help info must go to forum before going here for bug fixing if any.

keywords is:
DllStructSetData drop some non-english text.
keywords is not use ShellAbout API.
I know ShellAboutW use wstr can work.

You cannot expect to keep unicode if you use char, you have to use wchar.
internally AutoIt work in UNICODE and do conversiion when you ask for.
Your conversion is impossible chinese is unicode and cannot be store in ANSI (char) string.

I close this report next time go to forum when you need help.
