I am having a problem with an old function I used to use about 20 years ago.<br />
I am using Embarcadero RAD 8.3<br />
<br />
I have added windows.h to my include list <br />

<pre><code id="code-10-29149409-1">AnsiString name;
GetPrivateProfileString(_T(&quot;Section 1&quot;), _T(&quot;Key 1&quot;), _T(&quot;&quot;) , name, 32, _T(&quot;C:\\test.ini&quot;));</code></pre>
This is the error I am getting when I try to compile<br />
<br />
[bcc32c Error] Unit2.cpp(53): no matching function for call to 'GetPrivateProfileStringW'<wbr /><br />
<br />
I find this most confusing.

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.
