Re: BSTR

[David Hoffer]

Another VC++ thought...if you are using MFC you can very easily get a BSTR from a CString by calling CString::AllocSysString().  If CString is already UNICODE there is no code page conversion to get to the  BSTR. In addition, I think the Win32 API function SysAllocString() does the same thing.  Something like this should work...   BSTR bstr = CString( domString.rawBuffer() ).SysAllocString();   -dh   ----- Original Message ----- From: Murphy, James To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 11:59 AM Subject: RE: BSTR No - you have to translate one to the other using transcode to get the transcoded characters from a DOM string and create a BSTR from that.  BSTRs have to reside in a special memory heap.  Depending in your environment you might like ATL' s CComBSTR class to accept and managed the characters from transcode.    DOMString domString("foo"); CComBSTR bstrString(domString.transcode())   Jim -----Original Message-----   From: Bavishi, Pankij [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 11:20 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: BSTR   Thanks guys for my former query. Just want to confirm one more thing: Is BSTR compatible with DOMString? Can I replace BSTR with DOMString if I am working on VC++?
