Cast (const) char * to LPCWSTR [duplicate]

Answer 1

Why do you think you want LPCWSTR? LPCWSTR is used in programs compiled for UNICODE. If you are using the char type everywhere then you should change the project property Character Set from 'Use UNICODE character set' to 'Use Multibyte Character Set." If you do that then FindWindow will accept a char array, like

char input[256];
