LPSTR and LPCWSTR are Windows specific types. They are not c++ strings, but char pointers alias which are C.

The STL - Standard Template Library - which is shipped with C++ provides a std::string class, which is a convinient alias for basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>>. See the documentation here.
