Need a small advice regarding strings

[no_reg_name]

I have to use legacy C code, where functions understand nothing else but char* So the question is, what is the best way to convert the char* to unicode strings, to be displayed in a message box, or set in an CEdit control for example.

    LPWSTR lpWideCharStr, 
    int cchWideChar );

You can use the A2W macro but remember to state USES_CONVERSION within the function that uses the macro.

USES_CONVERSION;
...
wide = A2W(ascii);
...
