Trying (and failing) to use an open Dialog box

I'm trying to use one of the common dialog boxes, and I'm using code from Petzold's book, but MSVC++ is throwing errors at me.

I have a function called PopFileRead():

Code:

---

{
    BYTE  bySwap ;
    DWORD  dwBytesRead ;
    HANDLE hFile ;
    int    i, iFileLength, iUniTest ;
    PBYTE  pBuffer, pText, pConv ;

          // Open the file.

    if (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE ==
              (hFile = CreateFile (pstrFileName, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ,
                                    NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL)))
          return FALSE ;

          // Get file size in bytes and allocate memory for read.
          // Add an extra two bytes for zero termination.
                   
    iFileLength = GetFileSize (hFile, NULL) ;
    pBuffer = malloc (iFileLength + 2) ;

     
and on and on....

---

And i'm getting this error:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\winpro2\File.cpp(76) : error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'void *' to 'unsigned char *'

Which is caused by the

Code:

---

pBuffer = malloc (iFileLength + 2) ;

---

What's going on?

If you're compiling it as C++ code, you'll have to cast -

pBuffer = (PBYTE)malloc (iFileLength + 2);

thanks :)
