This is surely a really stupid question, but I need to do something (like) :

long my_function(char *str)
{
return MessageBox(str,TEXT("HELLO"),MB_OK);
}

Except MessageBoxW expects str to be a Wide and I can't find a conversion function ... or I'm missing something obvious here...?

Cheers,

CStrings are based around the TCHAR as well so when you build functions to accept TCHARs it becomes much easier to use CStrings with them.

hmm.. _T is exactly the same as TEXT.. if you're so concerned about "shortness" not why simply use L"my string"?

call me pedantic

L"String" always converts your string to unicode. So it doesn't do the same thing as the _T and TEXT macros do. They leave the string unchanged if unicode isn't used.
