Summary:

ComboBox ActiveX object does not work in runtime on my Polish version of Windows. How can I use CitectSCADA Active X controls?

Solution:

The default VB6 controls do not support Unicode, even though VB6 strings are Unicode. This affects CiText.ComboBox, CiTextBox and other VisualBasic ActiveX controls. You can use Microsoft Forms 2.0 Controls.
