Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I am now moving to the utf8everywhere.org way of doing things. &nbsp;So I'm keeping utf8 as my internal encoding and as output of all my files. &nbsp;When I need to talk to windows, I am going to convert my utf-8 strings into whatever Windows expects.<br />
<br />
So what encoding does Windows expect with calls to FindFirstFileW? &nbsp;I am compiling with unicode enabled, so I need to widen my utf-8 so that it matches the encoding that FindFirstFileW uses.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Mike

FindFirstFileW LPCWSTR

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.

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
