I'm trying to use FindWindow()
from WinAPI, and I want to ask an input for window's title from the user:
char *input;
cout << "Window title: ";
cin >> input;
Pretty standard.
Now then, how do I convert this to LPCWSTR
for FindWindow()
?
I've already tried the following: _T(input)
, TEXT(input)
, (LPCWSTR)input
but none of them worked.
I also tried using wchar_t
instead of char
, but I need char
everywhere else so then I get dozens of errors for using wchar_t
instead of char
...
You can use the wide variants of cin and cout:
wchar_t input[256]; // don't really use a fixed size buffer!
wcout << L"Window title: ";
wcin >> input;
