Its not taking full address its just taking 25 characters

for example:-
C:\Program Files\Data

Be aware that RegSetValueEx's cbData parameter should be the size of the string expressed in bytes, i.e. (string length + 1)*2 for UNICODE strings.

I don't see any REG_BINARY in your code.

BTW To maintain generic text mappings, I suggest you to change from (str4.GetLength()+1)*2
to (str4.GetLength()+1) * sizeof(TCHAR) .

Hi,

My Project is set to unicode aware, and it is fine. But when i am go for displaying a text in static control in run time, like

CStatic *p = (CStatic *)GetDlgItem (IDC_STATIC1);
p->SetWindowText ("&Login");

The text on static control should display the text as Login and the letter "L" should accompany a underline;

It is working fine with MBCS projects but not with UNICODE, How to resolve this issue?

Anyone please help, Confused | :confused:

Thanks in advance!!!!

Please when you have a problem, give a clear description. It's not working is quite vague, there could be a lot of different situations. I suppose here that your code doesn't compile.
Add a _T macro in front of your string literal:

p->SetWindowText (_T("&Login"));

If you are new to MFC, I stronly recommand to use an existing control. Doing it yourself is of course possible but it will probably take you much more time than you expect.
If you are interested, you can take a look at my sig, there a link to a chart control that I developped.

ULONGLONG ull = uliTmp.QuadPart;

That sounds like a major task. The first thing to do with any complex problem like this is to break it down into simpler things. The first step there would seem to be to break this down into installing the various kinds of things you need to install locally and the second problem, how to do it remotely. Get your installation technology to work, then your remoting technology, then combine them. Good luck Smile | :)

Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.
