Avoiding MFC CString

[hrishi321]

Hello all, I need to avoid MFC from my existing project, and convert to ATL. I am using STL for the most of the conversion (defining my own class for MFC type) CString has been use extensively in the project. So I guess its better to implement my own CString class. So that I dont need to touch all the implementation. I found out that ATL also has CString

typedef CAtlString CString;

So, if project setting avoids MFC, then CString will be refererd from this ATL CString class. But the problem is I need to touch and convert many code like

"xx" to L"xx"
char to wchar_t

Can I have a efficient way, in order to avoid touching much implementation, and character code supportness. Shall I override this ATL CString class? or better right my own? considering about the supporting of character type (Unicode/others), could you Please suggest me, or advice me. thanks in advance Hrishi

The reason you're having those issues is that your original project probably had a setting of "Use Multi-Byte" characters or "ASCII" or something similar and now you seem to be attempting to use unicode. If you change you new project settings to use multi-byte characters or ASCII you won't have that problem but if you must use unicode, then you'll have to face the issue regardless. There may be some macros out there to help you out though, try searching google for them. Macros can be error prone however, so if its your intention to continue with unicode then you'll have to address the character and string definitions.

I use CString all the time but not the ATL::Cstring It seems to be handy with MessageBox and other system calls so I use it all the time What is the issue with CString that is bothering you?

use find and replace tool to replace ' "' to ' L"'.
