    well i am well confused now. okay pls have a look over this post of mine where i discussed mainly about char variable... http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=1647&select=2073148&df=100&fr=26 Now all of them said me to use TCHAR in place of char or wchar_t.. I have not defined UNICODE...All of them said that TCHAR can handle both UNICODE nad non UNICODE ...So its always better to use TCHAR. Now i am finished changing every related char to TCHAR and left with 1 error which i asked ... Well yeh i am rewriting mfc VC++ code to VS2005(MFC)...so am facing promlems...m new to MFC... Now if ill change message back to char ill again get many errors so that means i have to change everything again....and would end up in never ending error loop.... Any other way out...? Thanks

    This is the default for VS2005. Change ifstream to wifstream as has been mentioned.

            Simply changing ifstream to wifstream caused these linker errors? :confused:

              YEH thats true... Do you think it could be cos i am using TCHAR now. Whereas i guess wifstream supports wchar_t... Is there any class for TCHAR types...i dont think so..????

                No, because the preprocessor has resolved those to wchar_t.

                  okay These were my main problems cos of which i first used wchar_t and now TCHAR... char str[10]; CString Password; strcpy(str, Password); In above code i get error saying can not convert parameter 2 from 'CString to const char*' TCHAR strFilter[1000]; _tcscpy_s(strFilter, "All Files (*.*)|*.*||"); And error i got is none of the 2 overloads could convert all the arguments type. If i get some other way to deal with this situation... I mean without using wchar_t or TCHAR or L or _T or wcscpy or _tcscpy_s etc etc...then it might work...Dont know really..lez c ..m playing around with it at the moment... Thanks

                    Doesn't this require three arguments? The string literal needs to use _T() or L. In any case, do you really need to use wchar_t variables?

                        Hi, These errors or not due to TCHAR or wifstream. Have you included the file with the definition for hide_in_text::hide_file, secret_file_class::get_secret_file, ... I think the definition for these are missing. Best Regards Raj

                                oh by that i meant to say it was working like this... CString strFilter; const TCHAR *strSource= _T("All Files (*.*)|*.*||"); _tcscpy_s(strFilter, strSource); So Parameter isn't a problem in that...

                                  :confused: How is this not generating a compiler error? I would have expected it to be:

                                  _tcscpy_s(strFilter.GetBuffer(128), strSource);

                                  In any case, why would you want to use _tcscpy_s() with a CString object? That makes no sense.

                                    :confused: How is this not generating a compiler error? I would have expected it to be:

                                    _tcscpy_s(strFilter.GetBuffer(128), strSource);

                                    In any case, why would you want to use _tcscpy_s() with a CString object? That makes no sense.

                                      So why introduce an unnecessary variable (i.e., strSource) when

                                      TCHAR strFilter[1000];
                                      _tcscpy_s(strFilter, _T("All Files(*.*)|*.*||"));

                                      would have sufficed? Since you are using MFC, why bother with wchar_t variables at all?

                                        may be u are right...But i tried that way but it was not working ..yeh i didnt included _T at that time...So ill check out if it works without const TCHAR variable... Thanks for pointing me out...
