Example: I have

I want to assign this value to LPWSTR. How to achieve this in VC ++

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

TCHAR- either char, or wchar_t based on your Unicode / MBCS settings. If you compile as unicode, it achValuecan be used as LPWSTR. If not, you need to use MultiByteToWideCharto convert characters to achValuefrom the encoding used for UTF-16.

Answer 2

If your project file has a flag UNICODE, then you can simply doLPWSTR p = achValue;

Answer 3

#ifdef 'd : if UNICODE ( TCHAR wchar_t), , ( MultiByteToWideChar ).
