Question: With Reaper localized there are some quirks when it comes to things Windows display: i.imgur.com/yMonxdi.png (notice how čć become cc) Sometimes we search for hwnds by name and this can become a pain.This is what I've come up with to deal with it: bit.ly/1poiTf7 But I don't like that things are getting reconverted 4 times! Being old Being old win32 guy, do you have any idea how to make this a bit more nicer?

    You should convert the string you're searching for from UTF-8 to UTF16 (MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8)), then search for the windows and call GetWindowTextW(), and compare the UTF16 strings.

    Edit: or, as Jeffos points out, making a FindWindowUTF8() which calls MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8) and FindWindowW() would be the nicest way to go about this...
