Thread: How to use GetPrivateProfileString function ?

>>That's odd...
I've noticed a couple of anomalies like that between Oct 2001 and the current stuff - all they have to do is maintain backwards compatibility

The Core SDK download includes a current MSDN of the Win32 API. If your Oct 2001 MSDN came from a VC++ install, you'll still have to use it for help on CRT, MFC, ATL, the IDE, etc...
If you already knew that, shame on you for using Oct 2001 docs

So I'm not totally off-topic, here's the online reference bithub mentioned: GetPrivateProfileString()

And post your actual code skywind so we can inspect it.

Yeah, I've read the MSDN January 2004. If only they had a small example
There is only one funtion in my program to response the WM_BNCLICKED event

Code:

UpdateData(true);
MessageBox(.....);//It shows the input values
char* pResult;
GetPrivateProfileString(...........................);
m_strResult=pResult;
UpdateData(false);

That's it.
