your concern is also stand good, if it ansi app, then it could present problem.

what, i am taking about unicode app only,

LPCSTR data = (LPCSTR)LockResource(hResData); is wrong cast.
and CString (data) will internally call MultiByteToWideChar(); and is because of the wrong type cast.

if still didn't get, in a unicode app, try the following.

LPCWSTR resource = L"Wide Char Resource String";
LPCSTR data = (LPCSTR)(void *)resource;
CString str(data);

i become aware that she is working with wide character

you didn't direct correctly even you already aware.
And also unicode app doesnot restrict a custom resource as ANSI string, this is not a invalid guess as OP is using lockResource, and not LoadString().

There might be some misunderstanding, since you couldnot add char* to CString , as it doesn't have overloaded + operator . thats why i suggested use of CString to nullify that effect!..

yes, but the string resource is unicode, widechar, so not "char *", it is "wchar_t *", so IMHO is, as OP said it is wide char string, proper solution is to correct the logical error(type casted with LPCSTR), rather than fixing compilation error (CString (char *));

you are right! but could you add wchar_t* to CString?
I am giving answer to different question and you are different question and we both are right in our sense .. but just suffering misconception Wink | ;-)

try this,
wchar_t * resource = L"wide char resource string";
CString str = CString ("Prefix") + resource;

CString has operator + for this.

brother if that LPCTSTR, then how + operator work when envionment is UNICODE!

well,
try this,

LPCTSTR resource = _T("wide char resource string");
CString str = CString ("Prefix") + resource;

Have you tried before replying?

LPCTSTR resource = _T("wide char resource string");

Sorry with LPCSTR not LPCTSTR

what you are playing, u said with wchar_t *, then LPCTSTR, then now LPCSTR. for LPCSTR i already told that is wrong cast in this context.

then LPCTSTR

man LPCTSTR will itself take care of type conversation!. anyway leave the topic, you win!.. where do you live!? it seems you are from india

yes

see this [^]

And why you are using explicit resource loading for string, as LoadString() API is available.

You may try LPCTSTR or LPSTR. If LPCSTR doesnt exist then that is why you cannot cast the type. Maybe show the value of hResData and look up the return type of LockResource without type casting. Some type conversions are incorrect.

Wha, who,.... Oh, it was just a good dream. I keep having them. Why can't I have nightmares!?
