[pubududilena]

hi all, I have a Method like this:- void CMyprogramDlg::Addcustomers(BSTR bstrParty) { CListBox m_lbParties; _ASSERTE( bstrParty != NULL); m_lbParties.AddString(bstrParty); } But when I compile this,I am getting such a Error:- "error C2664: 'AddString' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'unsigned short *' to 'const char *' Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast " How do I solve this? If anyone know this please help me.. Thanks in Advance..

Add string requires the char* and you are suplying the BSTR here. You need to convert it from UNICODE BSTR to the normal string or force the listbox to accept BSTRs

You could use CString to convert from UNICODE to char string like this: m_lbParties.AddString(CString(bstrParty)) or use WideCharToMultiByte function. You must also create list box before you call AddString. Regards, Andrzej Markowski
