I have a TCHAR* referencing a string and I want to get that data into
a WCHAR []
How do I do that?
A TCHAR might already be a WCHAR, depending on whether or not UNICODE is
defined. So first figure out what your TCHAR actually is.
If TCHAR is a WCHAR, then you can use wcscpy to copy the string to the WCHAR
array. If TCHAR is a char (or, equivalently, CHAR), then you should use
MultiByteToWideChar to make the conversion.
