I have a function (a 3rd party DLL) which takes PWCHAR as one of the
arguments. The value that is supposed to be passed to this argument is got
from a Windows::Forms TextBox control which is in System::String type. How
do I convert the value of the text box to PWCHAR before passing on to the
function?

Thanks.
 
WCHAR are UNICODE characters that representation uses 2 bytes for each
characters.

You can use (api) MultiByteToWideChar() or (rtl) mbtowc() to convert.

System::String is already Unicode.

Look for PtrToStringChars in vcclr.h.
