I'm not sure what you mean. You might want to check in the project's properties that you really are compiling for narrow/8-bit/multi-byte chars. Look under Configuration/General at the Character Set setting. I'm assuming it *doesn't* say Use Unicode Character Set, which means wide/Unicode characters.
It might be easier to grab a nearby C++ expert if you have one. You need to ensure all your strings are of the same kind (wide or narrow) and that your project setting matches it too. You can convert between the two but that's even more work. -----Original Message----- From: Natalie Carr [mailto:natalie.c...@measuresoft.com] Sent: 04 October 2012 12:48 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Populating Listbox from Custom Action I tried that but it says that it is not compatible. When I converted "ComPort" to a Wide char I am having trouble initialising it correctly. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: 04 October 2012 12:29 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Populating Listbox from Custom Action Since all your other strings seem to be 8-bit characters, delete the "L" from the front of any literal strings. That will make them 8-bit too. So L"ListBox" -> "ListBox" and L"COMPORT" -> "COMPORT" -----Original Message----- From: Natalie Carr [mailto:natalie.c...@measuresoft.com] Sent: 04 October 2012 12:16 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Populating Listbox from Custom Action Hi Peter, Me and C++ are not long introduced so please excuse if I am being really silly. What would you suggest I change? Comport to a Wide Char? Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: 04 October 2012 12:10 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Populating Listbox from Custom Action I've had a quick glance and it looks like you're compiling with 8-bit chars but you've also got L"ListBox" and L"COMPORT" which are wide chars. -----Original Message----- From: Natalie Carr [mailto:natalie.c...@measuresoft.com] Sent: 04 October 2012 11:51 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Populating Listbox from Custom Action Hi if anyone has a chance would they check out my question on SO as I think I am near to solving it but need an extra hand.
