char - CString ??

komalwaseem · #1 07-May-2008, 11:55

On the Dialog Box, the user enters his/her name in an edit box and I save that name in a dynamically allocated array :

CPP / C++ / C Code:

	           UserName = new char*[NumberOfUsers];
		for(int a=0; a<NumberOfUsers; a++)
		{
			UserName[a] = new char[25];
		}

*(UserName[UserNo]) = m_UserName;
Now this last statment gives me an error because UserName is char type and the value I take in the edit box is CString... what do I do ???

With char pointers, you can't just set the value of it. You have to use a function like strcpy(). Of course, first, you'll have to convert the CString into a single-byte string type.

ya but how do change CString ???

Why not make your array an array of CString objects or change them from char* to TCHAR*?
