Functions like CreateFile are defined to the unicode versions if UNICODE is defined otherwise they are ANSI versions.
I've been using the ANSI versions but now I've created a new project and suddenly they are set to the unicode versions so my code breaks.
I've even tried placing an #undef UNICODE before a function call but I still get the error about the arguments not being the correct type.
Is there some project setting for this?
Look in the predefined macros for _UNICODE and UNICODE. Also look for some option saying "Use UNICODE" or something like that.
With VC++8 MS finally made UNICODE compilation the default, which is good, because only WinME doesn't support it, and all NT-based are faster with UNICODE.
All the buzzt!

I didn't know that unicode is faster, maybe I should just stick with unicde then.Originally Posted by CornedBee
I found the setting in project->properties->general->charactor set.
WinNT and derivates all use Unicode internally. Whenever you call an ANSI method there, it converts the text to Unicode, calls the Unicode version, and converts the result back. That's why Unicode is faster.
