Michael,

<< Nope, not used any unicode controls. >>

Ah, okay.  In that case, my understanding is that it will probably work but
may strip out some characters in certain languages due to ANSI/DBCS <-->
UTF16 conversion issues.

No need.  I just figured that if you already did it, then it would be
interesting to see how it went.

Michael,

<< You're using a lot of custom code which requires more than a simple class
rename ... Smiley>>

Actually, the edbutilcomps.pas unit (where all of the custom components are
located) works 100% with widestrings now.  So, the final release should only
require the component renames.

After a little "teasing/trying" i found that the
"Event Handlers" of TNT Controls are different that
"VCL Controls". So i guess it's more than a simple
class rename or i'm wrong ?

No, you're correct.  It's fairly complicated to deal with.  I'm wondering if
maybe it might be more prudent for us to simply go with ansistrings in the
VCL controls and provide the proper facilities to make sure that the code
page being used for the ansistring -> widestring conversion is correct.

Maybe that's a better idea .... Then you won't have 2 different versions
of EDB Manager.
