TFileNameEdit with files containing non-english characters?

I am trying to make a simple fileselection dialog, using
TFileNameEdit.
It seems to be working fine until I choose a path/file containing non-
english (swedish 'å' 'ä' 'ö' 'Å' 'Ä' 'Ö'), when I get these
"mysterious" characters replaced with two (!!) characters in the
#160-#190 range. Not even close to the ASCII codes that should be.

Anyone have a solution for this?  (Other than changing the whole
Swedish language...  )

B.t.w. Swedish characters are present in the extended ASCII
(#128-#255)

Regards

Try with Utf8ToSys
Code: [Select]Utf8ToSys(OpenDialog1.FileName)

That did the trick.
