error C2664 when calling dll

Hello C Programmers,
I'm trying to call a Dll from a C++ project that should be compliled into a Dll.

Code:

---

// DLL handle
HINSTANCE DLLHandle = NULL;

---

Code:

---

unsigned char CANdoInitialise(void)
{
  unsigned char Status;
    HINSTANCE DLLHandle = NULL;
  if (DLLHandle == NULL)
    DLLHandle = LoadLibrary(("CANdo.dll"));

  if (DLLHandle != NULL)
  {
    // DLL loaded, so map functions
    if (CANdoMapFunctionPointers())
    {
      // One or more functions not mapped correctly, so deallocate all resources
      CANdoFinalise();
      Status = FALSE;  // Error
    }
    else
      Status = TRUE;  // OK
  }
  else
    Status = FALSE;  // Error

  return Status;
}

---

when i try to compile it it get the following error.

Code:

---

c:\users\mhhansen.dse\documents\visual studio 2008\projects\cando dll driver\cando dll driver\cando dll driver.cpp(101) : error C2664: 'LoadLibraryW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [10]' to 'LPCWSTR'
1>        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

i have tried to search for this probleme using google, but can't seem to find a solution for the probleme.

I might have solve the probleme by doing the following:

#include <tchar.h>

and:

DLLHandle = LoadLibrary(_T("CANdo.dll"));

is this correct?

Looks good.

FYI, while this is indeed C++, it is also Windows programming.
As such, it would be better to put these kinds of questions in the Windows programming forum. It might help you get better replies.
EDIT: This does not mean Salem's reply is bad.
It just means that you might avoid some people who have little experience with Windows programming which is much different from C++ programming.
Plus there may be people who are most active in the Windows programming forum.
