Access Violation? I'm not seeing why.

Code:

---

char FileName[100];
                char ShortFileName[100];
                char todo[200];
                GetWindowText(ghWnd_File, FileName, 100);
                if(GetShortPathName(FileName, ShortFileName, 100) !=0) {
                        strcat(todo, "open ");
                        strcat(todo,  ShortFileName);
                        strcat(todo, " type mpegvideo Alias mpeg");
                        mciSendString (todo, 0, 0, 0);
                }

---

this gives me an access violation :eek: why!

I think it's because todo is an array rather than a pointer...a subtle but annoying difference :( I don't usually use strcat anyway, I much prefer sprintf :)

Code:

---

char FileName[100];
char ShortFileName[100];
char todo[200];
GetWindowText(ghWnd_File, FileName, 100);
if(GetShortPathName(FileName, ShortFileName, 100) !=0) {
        sprintf(todo, "open %s type mpegvideo Alias mpeg", ShortFileName);
        mciSendString (todo, 0, 0, 0);
}

I hope that works... :eek:

Thanks again :D
