Hi Eljay, thanks, I thought so. I saw in MFC, that this stuff works for the CString class (with LPSTR, what comes to char* after several "show define"). I think great, if you like to use the object directly in functions, which want an char*. But seem to be VS special stuff (CW couldn't handle this too). kind regards, Kristian Eljay Love-Jensen <eljay@xxxxxxxxx> on Montag, 25.
