IStream to FILE*

[Fwzklmn]

Dear All, I have alot of old functions that have 'FILE *' as a passing parameter. Now I am using Compound File...It uses IStream (from IStorage). Does anybody know how to convert IStream to FILE* ? Thank's

In general you can't. An IStream is more abstract then a file: while some IStream implementations wrap files most will not. Steve

you can use this(use from ISream only) (of course this is only a suggestion IStream *m_StreamFile; SHCreateStreamOnFile(filename,STGM_READ,&m_StreamFile);_**
