cannot convert parameter 4 from 'wchar_t *' to 'char []'

[PankajB]

Hi There. I am using VS2008, and am facing above problem. Just FYI, I am calling WmCpyDta_GetMessage_sTagData() function as below...

WmCpyDta_GetMessage_sTagData(NULL, NULL, lParam, strTag.GetBuffer(0), strData.GetBuffer(0));

Signature of above function is...

BOOL WmCpyDta_GetMessage_sTagData(HWND hAcceptFrom, HWND hIdOfSender, const LPARAM lMsgStructure,
char szTag[], char szData[]);

Please suggest. Thanks PanB

wchar_t is not equal to char, hopefully you know that. If you don't nothing I say here is going to help you. So the next thing you do is this[^]

The obvious implication of the error message is that strTag is a wide string (I suspect strData will be as well). You'll probably be wanting to look at a function to convert wide strings to ASCII ones[^]...

You should really avoid pickpockets and CString::GetBuffer (unless, for the latter, you've a special licence from Mark Salsbery). :-D
