Hello, I have written a C++ study DLL to do some processing, at certain times I want to generate a file with some data I have collected from a chart. I am taking the scsf_WriteBarDataToFile example from Study6.cpp I have added the code to my study but, I get an error on the following lines: hFile = CreateFile(OutputPathAndFileName.GetChars,GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); Error 2 error C3867: 'SCString::GetChars': function call missing argument list; use '&SCString::GetChars' to create a pointer to member c:\sierracharts\my custom study dll\my custom study dll\mycustomstudy.cpp 600 1 My Custom Study DLL So issue here is I want to create a file and write some data to it, the error above is preventing me from doing that. Does anyone have any suggestions please. thanks Andrew |

Here is the corrected code: hFile = CreateFile(OutputPathAndFileName.GetChars(), GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL); Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Hello, Thanks for the fast response, I updated that line of code. However, I have a new error this time: 7 IntelliSense: argument of type "const char *" is incompatible with parameter of type "LPCWSTR" c:\SierraCharts\My Custom Study DLL\My Custom Study DLL\MyCustomStudy.cpp 599 22 My Custom Study DLL regards Andrew |

Looks like you are compiling using a preprocessor flag which supports wide, 2 byte, characters. This kind of problem is not within the scope of our support. You want to make sure the compiler is set to use only single byte characters. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
