Hi,
I add Microsoft Forms 2.0 textbox control in VB6 project to display Unicode
value in French for example.
But then I need anothe rone to enter a value in my currently set keyboard.
But the editable Textbox does not receive correct input from keyboard and
displays strange characters.
I have Font set to Central European and strange is when I copy paste text to
this Textbox, it looks correct.

If I try to use the original Textbox, keyboard works fine, but then I have
problems because Unicode chars (e.g. French) when pasting are corrupted and
only local (Czech) ones are displayed and entered correctly.

Is is a real hell :-((
please help me to be able to display and enter text in Unicode somehow

MS Forms 2.0 controls are not redistributable and were not designed for
usage in VB6 projects, so you shouldn't use them.
Have a look at this control library:

It contains an Unicode TextBox control and is freeware.
