Hi all,
I want to use CFileDialog class to open an xml file. For that I've used the following codes.

static char BASED_CODE szFilter[] = "Scan Report(*.xml)|*.xml||";

CFileDialog dlg(1,"xml","Scan Report",OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT|OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST|OFN_HIDEREADONLY,szFilter);

But I am receiving the following error..

E:\Jijesh\ReportEx\ReportExDlg.cpp(229) : error C2664: 'CFileDialog::CFileDialog' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'char [12]' to 'const unsigned short *'

Please help me.

Solution 1

I think you have to enclose your strings in _T(""),like "string" to _T("string").

Solution 2

You are probably getting a similar error for parameter 2, try:

C++

TCHAR szFilter[] = _T("Scan Report(*.xml)|*.xml||");
CFileDialog dlg(1,_T("xml"),_T("Scan Report"),OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT|OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST|OFN_HIDEREADONLY,szFilter);
