Hi

What's sthe best approach to convert char[] or char* strings to a BSTR and
vice versa? I would like to omit OLE2A macros and allocate the memory
myself, or is the the only way? Any hints?

Thanks, Urs

If you want to do it by hand, then you can use:

See: WideCharToMultiByte
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/intl/unicode_2bj9.asp

(which is also internally use by any other method)

Oh sorry... this was the wrong direction...

Please use: MultiByteToWideChar
