Problem Converting string/const char* to OLECHAR FAR*

[CoffeeAddict19]

The code I'm trying to use: std::string url = "http://www.psc-range.com/"; browser->Navigate(SysAllocString(url.c_str()),&vFlags,&vTargetFrameName,NULL,NULL); The error: 'SysAllocString' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char *' to 'const OLECHAR *' I've managed to get this working: browser->Navigate(SysAllocString(L"http://www.psc-range.com/"),&vFlags,&vTargetFrameName,NULL,NULL); Unfortunately I need to get it work with any valid URL, not just one. If someone would please point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. :)

Seems like OLECHAR wants a unicode string and you are giving it an ASCII string, try converting your url to unicode, maybe like this:

std::basic_string<WCHAR> wide_url = L("http:\\...");
browser->Navigate(SysAllocString(wide_url.c_str()),&vFlags,&vTargetFrameName,NULL,NULL);
