Getting character string from CString object

Hi Gurus ,
I'm having one CString object in which i'm having one string . I want to
concatenate that string with some other string .
Even i've tried with CString::operator LPCTSTR(). But giving error like
unable to convert from "const char*" to "char*".

A code illustrated below ,

strcat(m_FileEdit.operator LPCTSTR(),".bmp");//m_FileEdit is CString object

Moreover i want to convert this string to character string .
Otherwise even it will work, if somebdy tells me how to retrieve string
inside CString object as a character string .

Thanks in advance !

m_FileEdit+=".bmp";
then do a strcpy into a char variable

I believe you could just use something like this

m_FielEdit += ".bmp";

then if you need a char* string you can use something like this

char* str = m_FileEdit.GetBuffer(-1);

Hi,

I normally do strcpy(char *Des, (LPCSTR) strSource)

Will
