[windev] Macro

[Chris Becke]

Lookup the "Stringizing operator" in the msdn help.

To convert macro parameters into strings you use #:

So this should work:

  #define SMLABEL(a) GetSMLabel( a, #a )

Hello

I have code a bit like this:

strText = GetSMLabel(IDS_STR_XXXX,"IDS_STR_XXXX");

Etc ...

The GetSMLabel(n,"n") call always has the id (integer) and then the same value as a string as above. It returns a CString.

Can I do a macro:

SMLABEL(IDS_STR_XXXX) that expands to the above, to save me typing in the same value twice, and it automatically put quotes around?

I tried:

#define SMLABEL(a) GetSMLabel(a,"a")

but it didn't work.
