WritePrivateProfileString("el33t", "textBox6", //par3//, "C:el33t.ini"

basicly an INI read/write routine, but i have alittle problem in parimeter 3 (//par3//) i put this in: textBox6->Text so it will put the text in textbox 6 there, unfortunaltly that doesnt work i need to conver that to a LPCSTR

so how to i turn textBox6->Text into an LPCSTR?

thanks for your help guys

LPCSTR is 32 bit pointer to a constant character string.

This should work:

LPCSTR pText = textBox6->Text;
WritePrivateProfileString("el33t", "textBox6", pText, "C:el33t.ini"

Or you can try typecasting:

WritePrivateProfileString("el33t", "textBox6", (LPCSTR)textBox6->Text, "C:el33t.ini"
