IOleCvt Automation Interface

  • Article

The Automation interface for the IOleCvt object enables an ASP Web page to perform a variety of string conversions from one format to another. These include:

  • Conversion from Unicode to ANSI

  • Conversion from ANSI to Unicode

  • Conversion from Unicode to UTF-8 (UCS Transformation Format 8)

  • Conversion from Unicode using one code page to Unicode using another code page

Although most applications now use Unicode (UTF-16) encoding for character data, some Windows desktop applications use character sets based on Windows code pages. A code page assigns international characters to ANSI character codes greater than 127. For more information about code pages, see the Windows SDK documentation.

The IOleCvt interface is supported in Windows 2000 and later.

The programmatic identifier for the IOleCvt object is OlePrn.OleCvt.
