CLSIDFromString - how to use? 1

[SkintStudent]

How do I go from something like:
LPCSTR clsid_str = "{3C78B8E2-6C4D-11D1-ADE2-0000F8754B99}";

(or some other form of string variable that's available to me - i'm new to c++)

To..

a REFCLSID ??

I believe I have to use CLSIDFromString somehow but can't find any example that go from the string directly.

CLSID clsid
wchar_t* clsid_str =
L"{3C78B8E2-6C4D-11D1-ADE2-0000F8754B99}";

CLSIDFromString(clsid_str, &clsid);

thanks Ion, that helped.

And PerfNurt - you didn't read my question properly I'm afraid.

Sorry about that. I imagined that the documentation on CLSIDFromString would be a proper place to find your answer. Apparently I was wrong.

Oh well...
