Creating a new file dialog

[TimeOut]

Hi all!

I'm trying to recreate an existing file (copy old file to a new file). I'm using CFileDialog class to do this. I'm stuck as I get an error.

nameoffile = NewFile.GetFileTitle ();

The line above gives me the error:

error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'class CString' to 'char [260]'

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong. I would be most grateful for any tip, that puts me in the right direction. Thanks, from a beginner.

Hi TO,
what I can see from the above Error Discription and the Syntax of GetFileTitle() is that, it returns a CString Object. I guess u have declared nameoffile as char nameoffile[260]. If so, just convert nameoffile declaration to CString nameoffile; and then
nameoffile = NewFile.GetFileTitle ();
should work .
Regards,
Hemant.

I can show you one of a way!


You solve just accomplish like this

nameoffile = (char *)NewFile.GetFileTitle(); or

nameoffile = (char)NewFile.GetFileTitle();

Thanks for your tips cibrran and Kapadia. I managed to solve it by declaring the data type to CString nameoffile. Once again thanks for your replies. See you around...
