i want to write urdu on a richedit control. but when i start writing after first character the language in languagebar get set to urdu or any other arabic language which is first in languagebar automatically and some garbage characters get typed on the control and if i remove urdu or arabic languages from languagebar the application works well,
i am unable to get the reason......plz suggest something..

That is a 1:1 character mapping. Are you sure that you are using a Unicode font? The RichEdit control uses the non-Unicode version of Ariel by default.

It'll be switching to the urdu keyboard layout.

See here.

Don't know about that, may be you should try setting the language programatically to urdu first.

Are you using the Unicode version of the RichEdit control? If you are using the MBCS version, it will just show garbage.

If you are using dialogs, use the "RichEdit20W" control. You may have to manually edit your rc file.
