I meant the application from where you copy text. As I understand, it's web

brower. Which one? If it's Internet Explorer, text is usually copied in RTF

format, not text.

Not sure about others

It's important, because Clipboard processes text differently in Win9x and

WinNT-based systems.

In Win9x, Clipboard does not do any text conversion - text is copied and

pasted as it is.

WinNT/2k/XP put language identifier together with text at the moment of

copying. The language is taken from the active keyboard layout (Important:

language is written at the moment of copying, not pasting). If keyboard

language is not Russian, this text can be inserted as Russian only if both

source and target programs are Unicode (text is copied as unicode and pasted

as unicode, no language identifiers is required). Otherwise Windows will try

to convert this text charset to the keyboard language, and in

Russian->English case this will result insering lines of ???????????????.

By the way, do you see ???????????, or just a garbage text with accents,

umlauts, etc.? In the latter case, the text is pasted as Russian, but cannot

be displayed as Russian because the corresponding text style does not have

Charset=RUSSIAN_CHARSET.

Generally, If you need a true multilingual application, you need to use

Unicode (I can explain how).

It's possible to represent different languages in the same TRichView

documents without Unicode using different charsets, but it will lead to

problems like this one.
