CString
-
C++ has several utilities to manipulate strings declared as char var;, i.e. strncpy(a,b,n); where a,b are strings, n is the number of characters, etc. However, when one declares a variable as a CString, and uses the same utility, the compiler says that it cannot convert the CString to a char variable. Are there other C++ or visual C++ 6.0 utilities to work with CString variables? Please provide help on this subject. Thanks, Sid Kraft

When you need a const string you can use a CString directly. When it's being used in a non-const fashion, use CString::GetBuffer. char *strncpy( char *strDest, const char *strSource, size_t count ); (i.e. Here you can use CString as is for the second parameter since the LPCTSTR operator kicks in. If you use CString for the first parameter, you need it to be non-const. In other words, you need a buffer, so use CString::GetBuffer as the first parameter and later calling CString::ReleaseBuffer before calling any other CString member functions.)

cast it to (LPTSTR)(LPCTSTR)CString Object

That has to be a joke.

And why in the world would you want to do that?

They are called methods, and
CStringhas plenty of them.
