Unicode input on 9x

Hi! I am looking for an easy way to get unicode input on windows 9x. When I needed it with edit control and combobox, the problem with edit was solved by replacing with richedit, but I don't know what to do with combobox. I saw many samples for drawing and can display unicode output but I cannot make it accept unicode input into eidt field. Is there any solution/sample (better without use of MSLU)?

additionally, even with richedit i cannot make it switch keyboard for it to japanese on 9x while in IE it switches and I can copy/paste from IE to richeidt. Does richedit need some extra parameters to be set to accept japanese?
