Hey guys
I'm trying to compile this code, but it keeps giving my linker errors...
tried DevC++ and VS2008b
btw Borland C++ builder compiles it just fine.
the error is
error C2664: 'mciSendStringW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [13]' to 'LPCWSTR'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "windows.h"
#include "mmsystem.h"
#include "iostream"
using namespace std;
char choice;
bool quit;
int main()
{
while (!quit)
{
cout << "Please select what you want to do" << endl;
cout << "[O]pen CD/DVD rom" << endl;
cout << "[C]lose CD/DVD rom" << endl;
cout << "[Q]uit" << endl;
cin >> choice;
switch (choice)
{
case 'O': case 'o':
mciSendString("open CDAudio", NULL, 0, NULL);
mciSendString("set CDAudio door open", NULL, 0, NULL);
cout << "Its open" << endl;
break;
case 'C': case 'c':
mciSendString("close CDAudio", NULL, 0, NULL);
mciSendString("set CDAudio door closed", NULL, 0, NULL);
cout << "Its closed" << endl;
break;
case 'Q': case 'q':
quit = 1;
break;
default:
cout << "You did not enter anything" << endl;
break;
}
}
}
