Converting ASCII character, to the code that represents it.....?

hi, here is my code

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#define ADDR 0x100AEC4

int main()
{
HWND gHwnd;
DWORD pid;
HANDLE hProcess;

char result;
gHwnd = FindWindow(NULL,"********");
if(!gHwnd)
{MessageBox(0,"******* could not be detected.","Error",0); return 0;}

GetWindowThreadProcessId(gHwnd,&pid);

hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS,true,pid);
if(!hProcess)
{MessageBox(0,"Couldnt get a process handle to SD","Error",0); return 0;}  

ReadProcessMemory(hProcess,(void *)ADDR,(void*)&result,4,NULL);
//working on getting msgbox to show actual number, not ascii character of the supposed code
MessageBox(0,(&result),"Warning",MB_OK | MB_ICONWARNING);
return 0;   
     
}

The code works, in that it grabs the value (255) from a memory address, but the messagebox displays it as ÿ, the 255th ascii character i believe.

How can i get it to just display the number?

Thanks in advance

Try this.

Code:

#include <sstream>
#include <windows.h>
//#include <stdio.h>
#define ADDR 0x100AEC4

int main()
{
HWND gHwnd;
DWORD pid;
HANDLE hProcess;

char result;
gHwnd = FindWindow(NULL,"********");
if(!gHwnd)
{MessageBox(0,"******* could not be detected.","Error",0); return 0;}

GetWindowThreadProcessId(gHwnd,&pid);

hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS,true,pid);
if(!hProcess)
{MessageBox(0,"Couldnt get a process handle to SD","Error",0); return 0;}  

ReadProcessMemory(hProcess,(void *)ADDR,(void*)&result,4,NULL);
//working on getting msgbox to show actual number, not ascii character of the supposed code

   std::ostringstream out;
   out << (unsigned int)(unsigned char) result;
   std::string message = out.str();

   MessageBox(0,message.c_str(),"Warning",MB_OK | MB_ICONWARNING);

return 0;   
     
}

oh wow thanks a lot ! works perfect
With a slight modification, it was just what i needed ~~

There's an FAQ entry on the subject: http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/...&id=1043284385

Just use chars instead of ints.
