RESOLVED: Mangling Simplified Chinese in a ComboBox

I have an urgent problem on my hands. I looked through the old posts but found nothing.
When I build a list of names (WCHAR) in a ComboBox that include Simplified Chinese, the drop-down displays the chinese correctly. However when I select an item containing the said characters it displays for the first characters, although the codes per each character in debug show the correct value. Writing the string on CBN_SELENDOK to a static text control yields the expected result (with some font tweaking though). Writing it to an edit box or a list box yet again shows the .
I am working in VC++ 6.0 Win32.
Anyone encountered something similar
Any input is greatly appreciated.

Can you post some code, to understand your problem better

The file we received from the Chinese customer was with Korean characters. They won't display correctly (if at all - that's why I was getting " ")in Chinese locale

Thanks for replying.

//This is the code I inserted to trap CBN_SELENDOK to examine the content of the string. The codes for the characters are correct

// Again the chinese characters show correctly in the drop-down combo box, but after the item is highlighted the first

// three characters show up as and the fourth is the correct chinese character.

switch(HIWORD(wParam))
{
     case CBN_SELENDOK:

    if(CB_ERR != (iRc = SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hDlg, IDC_KB_LIST), CB_GETCURSEL, 0, 0)))
    {

      //wcDisplay is a WCHAR string

      //IDC_KB_STATUS -a static text, displays the CORRECT string (font is set as DONT_CARE), in the following format (chinese character) (chinese character) (chinese character) (chinese character) PC 400.....

     SetDlgItemTextW(hDlg, IDC_KB_STATUS, wcDisplay);

      //IDC_EDIT1 is an edit box which displays the same INCORRECT string as IDC_KB_LIST (the combo box, font is set as DONT_CARE), in the following format (chinese character) PC 400....

      SetDlgItemTextW(hDlg, IDC_EDIT1, wcDisplay);
     }

     break;

}

//Setting the font as something other than DONT_CARE yields squares for the first three (problem) characters
