Not compiling with Visual Studio 2019, type conversion error

[jaysonpowers-zz]

line 182 is throwing a type conversion error

sDevices.push_back(woc.szPname);

woc.szPname is a TCHAR array and sDevices is a vector <wstring>

I haven't found a successful conversion from the two on the internet yet

[jaysonpowers-zz]

I did find a rather unelegant solution:

string temp(woc.szPname);
wstring temp2(temp.begin(), temp.end());
sDevices.push_back(temp2);

It's working now at least, hehe.

In one solution, woc.szName was of type WCHAR, which did not need modification. In another project, it was of type CHAR (when peeking definition) and your modification was needed. Interesting

this solution is not working for me.. it still gives me that same error

change your character set to Unicode character set under Project Configuration Properties->Advanced->Character Set- Use Unicode Character Set. Don't do any code modifications. It works very well once the Unicode is set.

Define using tString = std::basic_string<TCHAR>;
Now simply declare std::vector<tString> devices;
Note: If you are printing, you might want an overloaded function that can use std::string and std::wstring
