Programming Question -- Reguaring unicode (and an interesting screenshot . . .)

[Chu]

I am trying to figure out how to deal with unicode in Win32 (with Petzold's help), and, well . . .

How the hell do you go from my code to this . . .

I do realize that y is not null terminated, but I assume that MessageBox is smart enough to go "hey, that's a char, not a string" but with my expirence in C . . .

Anyways, from reading Petzold I get the basic idea how to work with unicode, but I cannot figure out anywhere how to do the most basic thing -- actuially stick unicode in my TCHAR's and TSTRING's. I know in unixland \u is the escape character for it, but VC++ doesn't like that escape char (and yes, I tried /u if i'm getting it backwards).

Any help?

P.S. -- Sorta odd that VC++ will compile a program with unicode in it happily, but will refuse to save the file.

The bug has nothing to do with unicode, the message body test your passing to MessageBox is the address of string "a" plus the ascii value of 'a'. That is a bogus address. You seem to be treating the c char pointers as c++ or java string objects (where something like string + string would be legal)
