How To Code ...

Convert CString to string ...
You can get CString from many function that used in C++ and MFC, (ex: GetDlgItemText()). In some case, another function requires string type. Use can use this code

LPCTSTR Convert_CString2String (CString strVar)

{

      // Convert CString to CW2A

      CT2CA pszConvertedAnsiString (strVar);

      // Use CW2A to string

            string strResult(pszConvertedAnsiString);

     

return strResult;

}

Convert string to LPCTSTR ...
This is a problem that I have encountered many times in coding, especially when code with the MFC. I try to find on Internet but have some way to complex for a small problem.
Finally, I and my friend found out a simple way but very effective.

LPCTSTR ConvertFromString (string strVar)

{

      // Convert string to CString

      CString tmp(strVar.c_str());

      // Use CString like LPCTSTR

      return tmp;

}
