    What is the difference between a LPTSTR and a LPWSTR???
    How can I convert between the two?
    If you drop a blond and a UNIX box out a window, which one lands first?

    I think LPWSTR is a unicode data type...

    LPTSTR -- An LPWSTR ifUNICODE is defined, an LPSTR otherwise.

    LPWSTR -- Pointer to a null-terminated string of 16-bit Unicode characters. For more information, seeCharacter Sets Used By Fonts.

    Is it just me or does anyone else find this confusing?
    Code:
    LPTSTR szString = TEXT("String");
// as opposed to this
TCHAR *szString = TEXT("String");
    I find the second method much more readable, because it shows the indirection levels
