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?

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.
