use _bstr_t. sometimes a combination of
CComBSTR and _bstr_t will get you where you have to go.
i think ATL has a CString class that does
some conversion like that too.
instead of C++ have you thought about using
C# or VB.NET?
_bstr_t bst = "some string";
BSTR bs = bst.copy();
SysFreeString(bs);
Hello,
I was wondering if anybody knows how to convert a basic string into a
BSTR. I have read about this to great lengths online but am still receiving
errors from Visual Studio.
Thanks,
James

in order to see the contents of a
bstr* you have to dereference the pointer.
you can also use _bstr_t to convert to
a "regular" string.
hope this helps.
void GettaBSTR(BSTR* bstr)
{
*bstr =
SysAllocString("some string");
printf("this is the string:
%S", *bstr);
}
BSTR bs;
GettaBSTR(&bs);
_bstr_t
bst = bs;
printf("this is the string: %s", (const char*)
bst);
std::string s = (const char*)
bst;
printf("this is the string: %s",
s.data());
SysFreeString(bs);
Does Anybody know how I can convert a BSTR* to a type that will
output the contents of the String to the screen?
I am currently getting only what seems to be the address of the
BSTR at the screen.
