Porting 2004 -> 2007 "ACHAR *" Error Message

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have open a c++ AutoCAD 2004 Project in Visual Studio 2005.

I got the following warning message:
in Code Line:
acedGetVar("VIEWSIZE", &view);

Fehler 1 error C2664: 'acedGetVar': Konvertierung des Parameters 1 von
'const char [9]' in 'const ACHAR *' nicht möglich
c:\Projekts\MyApp\StdAfx.cpp 356

I have no Idea how to fix this error. Can you help me ?

Regards
Peter

You're making a UNICODE build for AutoCAD 2007 ?

If so, you must use the _T() macro for literal strings:

acedGetVar(_T("VIEWSIZE"), &view).;

I am trying to use the _T macro, but am receiving this error:

error C3861: '_T': identifier not found

What would cause this ?

You need to make sure that tchar.h is #included in your source file either
directly or indirectly.
