CString to BSTR

[sumedha77]

Hi,
anyone know how to convert a CString into BSTR in VC++6?

I would extract the data from the CString using the GetBuffer() function, then create a BSTR using the _bstr_t wrapper class like in this pseudo-code example:

function convert (CString input)
{
char temp[80];
temp = input.GetBuffer();
_bstr_t temp2((const char*)temp);
BSTR final = (BSTR)temp2;
}

Hope that helps! [sig]<p>Pat Gleason<br><a href=mailto:gleason@megsinet.net>gleason@megsinet.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]

Use CString::AllocSysString()
Look in MSDN for details

Thanks manish!

MSDN says that you can use CString::AllocSysString() to allocate a BSTR from CString data, and you can also use CString::SetSysString() to set an existing BSTR object with data from a CString object.

Much better! [sig]<p>Pat Gleason<br><a href=mailto:gleason@megsinet.net>gleason@megsinet.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br> [/sig]

Use AllocSysString ( ). this is the fuction in CString class .It returns the BSTR [sig][/sig]
