CString to std::string
in [MFC]

From: Ajay Kalra on 15 Feb 2006 11:26 It took me a while to get it after reading it few times. I am somehow convinced that OP got beyond it. I assumed *not working* means goes beyond compiling and is a run time issue. --------- Ajay Kalra ajaykalra(a)yahoo.com
From: Tom Serface on 15 Feb 2006 11:40 Hi Tim, It depends on the compile options you are using. LPCTSTR is safer because it will morph to be MBCS or Unicode depending on how the program is compiled.

To get ANSI-UNICODE compatibility you need to do something like typedef std::basic_string<TCHAR> tstring; CString Temp = _T("This is a test"); tstring Str = (LPCTSTR)Temp; David Wilkinson
From: Ajay Kalra on 15 Feb 2006 12:30 I think you are missing Tim's point: > string Str = (LPCSTR)Temp; // Note LPCSTR instead of LPCTSTR -------- Ajay Kalra ajaykalra(a)yahoo.com

I am a bit lost. Did this finally work or not? And what was the solution? I personally have used the LPCSTR operator with great success. What to know if I have been doing the wrong thing all this time. string str = (LPCSTR)Temp; AliR.
