.NET CF windows form can show Arabic Unicode text on title but not for labels?

After installing Arabic.CAB (or Arabizer) on my Win CE 5.0 device , i can set a static Arabic string as my .NET CF's windows form's title by :

this.Text = "سلام";

and it works fine and i can see the Arabic text on my form's title bar correctly.but these lines of code do not work and all i see is squares! :

label1.Text = "سلام";
textBox1.Text = "سلام";
MessageBox.Show("سلام");

what's the difference between Form's title and content? am i missing something?

Solution

  • Are you sure the font of the windows form is different with the font of its sub controls.
