Conversion

[reddy07]

Hi I am devloping an application in MFC I need to convert UCAHR pointer to Cstring and vice versa such as UCHAR *pMsg; pMsg[0] = '1'; pMsg[1] = '2'; pMsg[3] = '3'; pMsg[4] = NULL to CString and viceversa... Can anybody help.

uchar * to cstring? CString ps; UCHAR *pMsg=new UCHAR[4]; pMsg[0] = '1'; pMsg[1] = '2'; pMsg[2] = '3'; pMsg[3] = '\0'; ps=CString(pMsg);

As it stands, there is a access violation on your horizon. Anyway the CString constructor is probably able to handle your unsigned char array, for instance try

CString s((char*) pMsg);

On the other hand, if you need to convert the CString value to an array of unsigned chars, then the effort required may depend on the type of build you are doing, UNICODE or not. :)
