Buckeye - I declare you the Victor!
Thank you sir. I very much should of spotted that, and I get to delete some code - which is always a bonus.
Assimp and Common Dialog Box - Strings - C++
So, what you're saying is ...
Thanks for giving me credit for astute observations, but, actually, I wasn't trying to say anything more than I did
I just tried to get to the basics, and didn't understand what you were trying to do with the string manipulations and CreateFile call. My suggestion was simply how I use Assimp!
So.. did that all help? EDIT: cross-post - it appears it did.
Indeed!
It's a long story - basically having gotten fed up of MFC while trying to create an anything-to-myformat application, I'm rolling Win32 basics and like building a framework on that. I just copied that thing from MSDN and didn't touch it, just adding stuff (......below the line of the code that was causing the problem......) to try and make it work. Face-to-the-palm!
I had a cube a minute ago, I've lost it now, but I'm now back in my comfort zone at least.
Thanks again :)
