I'm sure this is sooo simple but I've come from a c# background where strings are easy and now I am making a small trip into the unmanaged world I am very confused.
Essentially I am using EnumDisplayDevices to list the available devices, I want to target a particular adapter so I need to compare DeviceString and DeviceName against some know values to see whether or not I have the right adapter to work on.
But I am stumped, I defined the known value as such...
wchar_t devName[] = L"Intel(R) HD Graphics Family";
but direct comparison doesn't work - if(devName == theDisplay.DeviceName)
strcmp
doesnt seem to work with wide chars so I have no idea what to do, anyone know how to do this please?
Thanks
Use a std::wstring
, it has an operator==
.
If you check Visual Studio help for strcmp
, you'll find it lists 3 functions to compare strings: strcmp
, wcscmp
and _mbscmp
. The one you're looking for is wcscmp
.
