Solution 1

TCHAR is not a type, so there is nothing to convert. TCHAR is defined at compile time as either char or wchar_t depending on whether your project is set for ASCII or Unicode.

A string is a sequence of characters, while TCHAR is a single character (either char or wchar_t as already pointed out by Richard), so you cannot convert.
As a wild guess, I suppose you need to convert from a string type to another string type. Then, have a loo at: How to: Convert Between Various String Types | Microsoft Docs[^].
