Adding two values!

[abdul]

I want to set my window's titlebar text to "the name of my program" and the opened file name:

Here are the variables:

char chosenfile[MAX_PATH];

That variable contains the name of the file opened.
Now I want to set the window's text to:

SetWindowText(hwnd, "Notepad" + chosenfile);

but that method does not work. What is the way to add two string and then set the text to that string?

strcat ("Notepad",&chosenfile)
should do it, i think.

No. A literal string is always const char*. The string class is about as easy as it gets:

SetWindowText(hWnd, (string("Notepad - ") + pcFileName).c_str());

[kedaman]

oh ok, i wont argue

But how do I set the text. That code does not work because I have the variable "chosenfile" instead of "pcFileName". And also it gives me error message saying that "string" is not declared even I include the header "<string.h>" OR ""string.h"" OR ""string""

[parksie]

#include <string>

using std::string;

Just use chosenfile then
