Newbie C++ Question

[DarkorbitUser123]

Ok i got a function.

FunctionName(int aL, int aT, int aR, int aB, **** aD, LPTSTR aI)
{
// do whatever
}

My problem is where **** is idk what to use there, aD is not a number but a very long unicode string.

C++ i never done before, im simply trying to modify the function to add a parameter name aD. Thanks.

might be wchar_t*.
how do you call it?

[DarkorbitUser123]

Well just tried wchar_t & wchar* same errors for both.

Here is the error i get

error C2228: left of '.length' must have class/struct/union

error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'wchar_t' to 'HBITMAP'
1> Conversion from integral type to pointer type requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

error C2660: 'Line::Image' : function does not take 5 arguments

I think i can figure out the last error but the 1st & 2nd one is what gets me.

[Dr. Coxxy]

looks like a string, since it moans about .lenght.


show us the whole function or atleast the parts where the parameter is used and we may help you better.

I don't really get the question. Are you trying to call an undocumented function or what's the deal here?

Try official resources for your compile error numbers:
