Re: dumb newbie question re unicode


Platform is win32. I think you have conceptual issues.

So let me explain:-
1) when you click add, you get that popup with a edit box for the
Configuration:
2) Enter any name you would like to over there for example Unicode - Debug
for readability
reasons. Choose Copy settings from: "..... Debug"
click ok
3) Repeat step 2 now instead of Debug use Release equivalents.

4) Now you do Build->set active configuration. Now choose the Unicode
Debug.
5) Goto Properties->settings. click the c++ tab.
Now in the preprocessor definitions add these UNICODE,_UNICODE to the end of
the list.

6) Repeat steps (4) and (5), now use the release equivalents for completing
the UNICODE- Release settings.
