    CString to char*

    I have a function that accepts a parameter of type char*, but I am using a CString type, not a char array, how can I convert it?

    Thank you

    you are using VC++, is it? you may try to replace char * to CString first, perhaps some more for correspondence variables in function. Did you tried? In fact, CString can do easily what char * does(as I know).

    Try this:

    -----
    // YourFunction(char *text);

    CString string("test");
    YourFunction(&static_cast<LPCTSTR>(string));

    look into CStrings GetBuffer() member function.
