So I have a program, I need to show with dynamic char cat all file in directory, but it is compilable in Borland C++ but in Visual Studio 15 + Resharper it doesn't work. Severity Code Description Project File Line Error (active) argument of type "char *" is incompatible with parameter of type "LPCWSTR"
To compile your code in Visual C++ you need to use Multi-Byte char WinAPI functions instead of Wide char ones.
Set Project -> Properties -> Advanced (or. General for older versions) -> Character Set option to Use Multi-Byte Character Set
I actually found another way to resolve this error since above method did not work for me.
I casted all my constant character strings with (LPCWSTR)
. The solution looks like this
Earlier
MessageBox(NULL,"Dialog creation failed! Aborting..", "Error", MB_OK);
After casting to LPCWSTR
MessageBox(NULL, (LPCWSTR) "Dialog creation failed! Aborting..", (LPCWSTR) "Error", MB_OK);
So just copying the (LPCWSTR)
and pasting wherever this error was generated resolved all my errors.
Another way to come by this issue, is to use the L
macro in front of your string.
MessageBox(NULL, L"Dialog creation failed! Aborting..", L"Error", MB_OK);
See: What does the 'L' in front a string mean in C++?
or
you can use wchar_t
class Dir
{
public:
wchar_t* cat;
Dir()
{
wcout << "(C:/*)\n";
cat = new wchar_t[50];
wcin >> cat;
}
void virtual ShowFiles()
{
}
};
In Visual Studio 2013 and later , the MFC libraries for multi-byle character encoding ( MBCS ) will be provided as an add-on to Visual Studio
It will work for any settings:
#include <tchar.h>
MessageBox(NULL, _T("Dialog creation failed! Aborting.."), _T("Error"), MB_OK);
