MessageBoxW Error (type casting) param 2 from char[29] to LPCWSTR

Error on this line, and multiple others:

Code:

---

                        MessageBox(NULL,"Release Of DC And RC Failed.","SHUTDOWN ERROR",MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);

---

Now, did this work in the past? I don't remember changing it in any previous projects and I'm wondering why this won't work, I know I can make a way to work around it I'm just asking!

Code:

---

error C2664: 'MessageBoxW' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const char [29]' to 'LPCWSTR'
        Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

Also to note, I'm including these headers into the source file this is in, not sure if it affects the situation though:

Code:

---

// Main.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <time.h>
#include "Blackjack_Game.h"
#include "State_Manager.h"
#include "Play_State.h"
#include <windows.h>                // Header File For Windows
#include <gl\gl.h>                        // Header File For The OpenGL32 Library
#include <gl\glu.h>                        // Header File For The GLu32 Library
#include <gl\glaux.h>                // Header File For The Glaux Library

Go in project options. Under general, set character set to multi-byte character set.

Thanks, that solved the issue right away!

Tada!
Remember that LPCWSTR = Unicode and LPCSTR = ANSI.
You can also look at MessageBoxW. That is another dead giveaway that it's unicode and not ANSI (multi-byte).
