Hi,

I am facing a strange problem. I am trying to get a text from a EditBox Control, and then trying to convert that text into a _bstr_t entity.

I am using the code as _bstr_t bstrVariable = ::allocSysString(str);

and when I m doing this, I am getting only the first character in the bstrVariable.

Please note that str is not a constant string(it contains some typed data which user can edit), otherwise allocSysString() would have worked fine.

so any help on this would be appreciated. :)

hi simmons,

CString str = "The string";
in above, str is a constant string, but the problem is with a generic string which stores a text from editbox.

so if you can let me know how to get the text from a Editbox Control and then convert the same to a _bsrt_t entity, so that I can use the same to populate a xml node text using MSXML2::IXMLnodeptr ptr->put_text(bstrvariable).
Please note that this bstrVariable is converted form of str variable mentioned above.

your reply on this would be a great help.
