Data Type conversion.

[Mad__]

You asking "how convert pointer to string", or "how convert data ref by pointer to string" ? And if data, you mast say what kind of data ;) (unsigned short * pointer may point to Unicode string, WORD value, 16bpp raster data ;) ....)

[Phil J Pearson]

If the unsigned short * is really a BSTR or a _bstr_t then just do CString(usp). The CString constructor is overloaded to accept BSTRs

It is pointer to a Ascci string. I have to display it in a message box. So I have to convert it to CString.

simple (if there ASCII coded string ;) ) CString((char *)data)

[VCSharp007]

I got only the first letter???

[Mad__]

That meens, that you have not ASCII data stored by pointer. You mast know, what coding used (Unicode, MBS, BSTR, wide char), and corectly convert pointer to CString constructor.

[VCSharp007]

Sorry I mistook . It is pointed to BSTR.

CString((BSTR)data)

Neither MessageBox() nor AfxMessageBox() requires a CString object. You might consider showing us a relevant code snippet and we could probably offer a solution.
