    Do you think it could be cos i am using TCHAR now.

    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

              So what of your "And error i got is none of the 2 overloads could convert all the arguments type." comment? That does not sound like it is working, or right, to me.

                  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.

                        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?
