How to convert char* to LPTSTR
I've got some code here
Its supposed to load a .wav file, but it only takes filenames in LPTSTR format. And I have no idea what a LPTSTR is o_O? So I have no idea how to convert it. Please help...Code:result = dsound->Create(&wave, filename); if(result != DS_OK)return NULL;
Oh yeah here's error message:
Code:error C2664: 'CSoundManager::Create' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'char *' to 'LPTSTR'

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking.

Well I'm not really sure what "Multi Byte" means, but I know how to change it so I guess I can dabble around with it since I have nothing else to do.

I think instead of using characters to hold data it uses multiple bytes. Originally Posted by why06

I did it... still doesn't seem to be working....
I did this:
Code://attempt to load the wave file result = dsound->Create(&wave, (LPTSTR)filename); if(result != DS_OK)return NULL;
That's the proto of Create so I don't see the problem.Code:HRESULT Create( CSound** ppSound, LPTSTR strWaveFileName, DWORD dwCreationFlags = 0, GUID guid3DAlgorithm = GUID_NULL, DWORD dwNumBuffers = 1 );
Hmmm... searched around a bit, and it seems DirectSound is obsolete... this might be the problem, it might be calling for audio libraries that don't exist. I think I might just go ahead and use OpenAL or something and screw this chapter on sound... it was explained that well anyway. >_<Last edited by why06; 11-30-2009 at 08:35 PM.
