CompleteDir function and UNICODE

If the string passed in parameter is in ANSI format, the result will be in ANSI format.

If the string passed in parameter is in UNICODE format, the result will be in UNICODE format.

Note: If the result on an ANSI string is assigned to a UNICODE string (and conversely), the conversion will be implicitly performed.

See Managing the UNICODE format for more details.
