UNICODE convention
-
Hello, I'm using eVC++ 3.00 and I want to do such a thing:
MessageBox("Test");But I'll have an error at compilation: error C2664: 'MessageBoxW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char [29]' to 'const unsigned short *' So, it's because UNICODE convention is used as standard. I suppressed it from the preprocessor settings but it still doesn't work! Is ANSI convention not supported ?? Thanks -

All MFC methods and API functions and messages (with some notable exceptions) take UNICODE text. So, your code MUST read:
MessageBox(_T("Test"));

That's it :-) !! This will give me a lot of work to convert my existing library :-( ! Is there a simple way to convert ANSI string to UNICODE string?
char Buff[255]; ... ... // Do some stuff with Buff ... MessageBox(Buff); // Need conversion here !!Thanks -

charwithTCHAR. If you want to do UNICODE to ANSI on-the-fly conversions, your application will run slower. But if you insist, use thembstowcs,mbtowc,wcstombsandwctomb(check these out from the online help). -
