Assimp and Common Dialog Box - Strings - C++

Hi all, I've been playing with Assimp: I've used it before, hardcoding file paths. However now I'm getting a complete file path from one of these Common Dialog Box things with GetOpenFileName() http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ms646829(v=vs.85).aspx#open_file I'm then jumping through some (CString-shaped) hoops to format the string for the call below: Assimp::Importer importer; const aiScene *scene = importer.ReadFile(filename, aiProcessPreset_TargetRealtime_Fast); //aiProcessPreset_TargetRealtime_Fast has the configs we'll need// nickthecoder.com The problem is that scene is NULL. I'm guessing this is because of the flilepath and my incorrect formatting. - what steps do I need to go through to ensure the filepath is good for assimp? Hope to hear from you soon :)

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.

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.

Please don't PM me with questions. Post them in the forums for everyone's benefit, and I can embarrass myself publicly.

You don't forget how to play when you grow old; you grow old when you forget how to play.

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 :)
