ExtTextOut Problem

[sasi_kumar_irtt]

Dear all,
I wanted to display a string using ExtTextOut
I declared a map with int and string.
Later i copied the string value to a 'temp' varaible which is declared as below

string temp[10]

then i wished to display the string using ExtTextOut
I called ExtTextOut as follows
ExtTextOut((hDc,x,y,0,NULL,(LPCWSTR)temp[j].c_str(),strlen(temp[j].c_str(),),NULL);

But i got run time access violation what could be wrong and help me how to correct it

Tx
Sasi

Are you using UNICODE build?

Yes Im using the embedded VC++ 4.2 emulator to compile and execute the program.
The same program can display the text uisng the TextOut function in windows XP, when i try with CE i struck up with error

use _T macro in case of WinCE and try again.hope this Will Work Proper for you.or you can use L (converts character or string to its Unicode counterpart)
Thanx

Why do you need to typecast string to LPCWSTR ??

string class don't return wide char pointer to string, you have to use wstring class for that.
