Question

I have this code:

C++

LRESULT CMFCApplication7Dlg::OnCustom(WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
{
	CString* pstr = (CString*)wparam;

	testo.SetWindowText(_T(*pstr));
	
		return 0;
}

so in my dialog I receive string from an other dialog, I want to write received string in an edit, but I have an error

What I have tried:

I tried to use pointer but I don't understand how I can get the string

You cannot use the _T macro on a pointer.

Richard, _T(*pstr) uses not a pointer but de-referenced it in contrast to _T(pstr) what you probably mean.

No, I mean that you cannot use the _T macro on a pointer; or a variable reference. It only works on constant characters or strings.
