Text String Conversions
Hello.
I have the following piece of code:
while(retval) {
if(strcmp((char*)pe.szExeFile, procName)==0 ){
ProcFound = true;
break;
}
cout<<(char*)pe.szExeFile<<endl;
retval = Process32Next(thSnapshot,&pe);
pe.dwSize = sizeof(PROCESSENTRY32);
}
Stuff works fine up until the point where i output the name of the file. IN that case it just gives me the first letter of the file, and not the whole name.
Any ideas why?
Thx

The docs say that all strings in the PROCESSENTRY32 function are unicode, but you treat them like ANSI strings.
# 2 Re: Text String Conversions
It seems your are compiling your code in Unicode mode, but are trying to work with ANSI string. See the value of Project Properties --> General --> Character Set option.
Either switch to ANSI mode, or change your program for Unicode mode:
while(retval) {
if(wcscmp(pe.szExeFile, procName)==0 ){
ProcFound = true;
break;
}
wcout<<pe.szExeFile<<endl;
retval = Process32Next(thSnapshot,&pe);
pe.dwSize = sizeof(PROCESSENTRY32);
}
But it would be better to make your program work in both Unicode and ANSI modes. This requires some adjustments in your program.

I never knew the diffrence, but now that i am stuck, i am reading some FAQS on here and it is making it alot better.Thanks for pointing me in the write direction.

Can you check your project settings->C++ tab ?
Let us know if there is _UNICODE in preprocessor definations.
