LPCTSTR does NOT seem to Work

[hinksj]

I'm new to NET ... strictly using VC++
VC Net on a Win2K machine


char *p;
CString Test = "Hello World";

p = (LPCTSTR)m_SendText;

The following error is identified .... I can't figure out how to fix it ...

I have the same code written in VC6 that ported to NET that does not complain.



test.cpp(114): error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'ATL::ChTraitsBase<BaseType>::PCXSTR' to 'char *'
with
[
BaseType=TCHAR
]

It is preventing you from casting away the "const" of the pointer. This is deliberate.

I spend a lot of time trying to find the answer ... post the question and the the light bulb LIGHTS!!!

solution:

const char *p;


Works fine.
