Problem with Simconnect_Text

[Speedbird]

Hi,

I have a applic where I read and write data..all fine.
But now I tried to insert a menu into the FSX with the Simconnect_Text part and allI got is the menu with some rubbish,,,The menu looks good....sometimes it has 1 or 2 options to choose - but all the time I cant read any text - it's just some rubbish...

Any Ideas?

Thanks

PS: I develop in VB.NET, using the managed simconnect.dll

I tried to translate a C# script - without success...any help is much welcome

Are you passing a plain ASCII string to SimConnect_Text() ? That problem looks like as if you were passing a Unicode string to it, which would result in garbage. I guess that in .NET, you'll have to use the Encoding.Convert class, something like:

byte[] asciicharacters = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(unicodeString);
