VC 6 places strings to writeable memory. Later VC places them to read-only
Hi Dave,
TCHAR Txt[] = TEXT("roo - resource object optimizer...#roo.exe");
Yes, that was it! But when compiled with Visual C++ 6 and the libraries
that came with it, the original code, the first one did work! No Kidding!
ShellAbout( NULL, Txt,
TEXT("See helpfile for more information."), NULL);
I guess the API implementation splits the string at the # character if
there is one - so strictly the definition should be LPTSTR rather then
LPCTSR.
It is absolutely not clear (unless you debugg the function) that it
expects
it in that form since the documentation didnt mention it. Docs say:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[in] A pointer to a null-terminated string containing text that will be
displayed in the title bar of the ShellAbout dialog box and on the first
line of the dialog box after the text "Microsoft". If the text contains a
separator (#) dividing it into two parts, the function displays the first
part in the title bar and the second part on the first line after the text
"Microsoft".
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
BTW, I couldn't see why you explicitly added null terminators to your
strings - it doesn't appear to be necessary.
This was just to see it in the Memory view while i was debugging
it in release...
Thank you!
Regards
K.
