Of course it works?<br />
It has nothing to do with VC6? It's part of the windows<br />
API.<br />
<br />
just #include &lt;windows.h&gt;<br />
<br />
and use GetPrivateProfileString as required.<br />
The paramseters you need to use are in help

Thanks. The sample code worked for me. I was trying to use the CString Class instead of char[]. Caused some problems until I saw this solution.<br />

Hi-<br />
<br />
I'm using MS VC++ 6.0. I need to get some information out of an .ini file and someone told me that GetPrivateProfileString no longer works in 6.0. I have looked into it and this seems to be the case. How do I read information from an .ini file using VC++ 6.0?<br />

Thanks

GetPrivateProfileString

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
