You should really read this article[^], it will help you a lot understanding what you are doing wrong with your code.
Basically, you should avoid these kind of conversions unless there is absolutely no other way. In your case, you can perfectly go without conversion. Your application is probably built for unicode support, so you should support that throughout your app:
- use wstring if UNICODE is enabled by using your own string type everywhere in your app:

#if defined _UNICODE || defined UNICODE
	typedef std::wstring TMyString;
#else
	typedef std::string TMyString;
#endif

- instead of using _findfirsti64, you should use the unicode independant version (_tfindfirsti64). You should have a look at the documentation for all those functions, there is always a table with the different versions.

But anyway, first thing to do is to read the article Smile | :)

You want to convert a string to wide-chars just to use CreateFile? Use CreateFileA instead - that uses ASCII characters for the input file path.

Looking at the Wikipedia page[^], there's this example:

{\rtf1\ansi{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss Helvetica;}\f0\pard
This is some {\b bold} text.\par
}

Try replacing This is some {\b bold} text. with Hello?

Here's the latest RTF spec[^] - work out what you want to represent, look in the spec and decide how you're going to print it.

How to add an Active X Control to a project in Visual Studio 2005/2008?

Hai!

In order to add a Active x control to my tool box, In eVC++ normally i go to 'Project' on title bar, then i select 'Add to project' then i select 'Components and Controls' option to add a new Active X Control to the tool box of my project.

But how to do the same in Visual studio 2005, there is no 'Add to Project' option on clicking 'Project' from the title bar?

Thanks!

In VS2008 - open the toolbox. Right-click on it and select "Choose Items...". That (eventually) pops up a dialog where you can choose components (.NET, COM, WPF and 'Activities') to add to the toolbox.

Please ask specific questions here. See point #2 in this post[^] for more info.

You will need to install eVC++[^] to begin with. You could connect your device with your computer with ActiveSync[^] and debug/deploy your application. You might as well download an emulator for the same purpose.

What do you mean by batch mode ? Can't you simply create a little batch file that starts your application and supply the required parameters ?
Could you provide more information about your exact problem ?

Your class derived from CWinApp has a data member called m_lpCmdLine[^] that contains the command-line used to execute your program. You can use the classes ParseCommandLine[^] method to get the individual parameters on the command-line.

If by 'batch mode', you mean 'no windows', then all you need to do is not create windows!.

But what do you mean by batch mode?

If you are trying to access the program's arguments, look at the app's m_lpCmdline member. You can also access them via the __argc and __argv (global) variable.
