Question

Hello this is my first question . I am currently trying to output text from a file and output it to the screen.. I am using a vector to store my strings.. I am wondering what functions I could use that would output the vector?

Currently the only function I know that outputs text to the screen is the TextOut() funcion. it uses LPCTSTR.

If there arnt any better functions how might I go about converting the vector to a LPCTSTR?
or maybe a function that dosn’t require constant variables?

Answer 1

after the @john suggestion

to get a string from a vector of strings like below:

string someString = theVector[0];  //get the first string 

to get a char* from a string like below:

const  char* p = someString.c_str();

you can pass a char* to TextOutA as the LPCTSTR parameter.
