[RESOLVED] a little help

[ccubed]

So now i'm screwing with SetConsoleTitle and I keep getting conversion errors.


string title = "Testing Console Functions";

SetConsoleTitle(title.c_str());


I keep getting this error whether I make it LPCSTR, LPCWSTR, Const Char, Char or String. So what am I doing wrong?

You can use TCHAR, and the _T or _TEXT macros to hard code in strings:

TCHAR* title = _T( "Testing Console Functions" );

SetConsoleTitle( title );

What include do I need for _T or _TEXT. both result in identifier not found errors.

I think tchar.h.
