hi all,
I have a Method like this:-
void CMyprogramDlg::Addcustomers(BSTR bstrParty)
{
CListBox m_lbParties;
_ASSERTE( bstrParty != NULL);
m_lbParties.AddString(bstrParty);
}

But when I compile this,I am getting such a Error:-
"error C2664: 'AddString' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'unsigned short *' to 'const char *'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
"
How do I solve this?
If anyone know this please help me..
Thanks in Advance..

Add string requires the char* and you are suplying the BSTR here.
You need to convert it from UNICODE BSTR to the normal string or force the listbox to accept BSTRs

You could use CString to convert from UNICODE to char string like this: m_lbParties.AddString(CString(bstrParty)) or use WideCharToMultiByte function. You must also create list box before you call AddString.

Use NetWkstaGetInfo() to get the name of the domain to which the workstation belongs. Use NetWkstaUserGetInfo() to get the name of the domain in which the user is currently logged on

Hello,

I have a button, I want to change the look of the button when the mouse is over and when the button is pressed and released. The look and feel should be similar i.e exact replica when a menu item button is clicked. I know that I have to do this in OnDrawItem. But without using bitmaps for changing the look and feel of button, I want to use some drawing operations. Can anyone please help me to do this?
