String Compare not working in Visual C++ 2005

If get a gring from the registry and it correctly displays when I place it in a message box. ::MessageBoxW(0, (LPCWSTR)achValue, _T("Found"), MB_YESNO);

The value is stored in archValue which is a DWORD. What I want to do is compare it to the following string "2.0.7045.0" but strcmp fails to work for me.

Any ideas on how to do this wiould be greatly appreciated. Pretty rubbish at c++ and I cant debug easily as its in a dll.

Much appreciated

Tony

Solution

  • You need to use the wide char version of strcmp: wcscmp.
