char * -> LPWSTR

[ClickHeRe]

I'm currently trying to add listview groups to my listview control and for some reason the parameter asked is LPWSTR and not the regular LPSTR.

Any way to convert so I can add my regular text to the item.

LVGROUP lvg;
char gtext[256];
....

lvg.pszHeader = gtext;

ERROR: c:\VCPP_Projects NET\DCX\ListView.cpp(58): error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'char [256]' to 'LPWSTR'

Using regular WIN32 API and C/C++ to build the code.

Thanx
David

That reason is most likely that you are building a UNICODE project (with UNICODE and _UNICODE #defined in your preprocessor settings). So either switch to non-UNICODE (if you don't need it), or supply a wide string instead:

WCHAR gtext[256];

Better yet, use TCHAR instead of WCHAR, and your code will compile for both UNICODE and non-UNICODE builds.
