    <p>As you seem to have gathered, <code>LPCTSTR</code> and <code>TCHAR</code> are basically defined as following (<code>LPCTSTR</code> would be read <em>long pointer to constant <code>TCHAR</code></em>):</p> <pre><code>#ifdef _UNICODE typedef wchar_t TCHAR; #else typedef char TCHAR; #endif // _UNICODE typedef const TCHAR* LPCTSTR; </code></pre> <p>So you can initialize a <code>LPCTSTR</code> variable as you would a <code>const wchar_t*</code> or a <code>const char*</code> variable, e.g. for unicode:</p> <pre><code>LPCTSTR lpszUnicode = L"Test String"; </code></pre> <p>And for ASCII/MultiByte:</p> <pre><code>LPCTSTR lpszMultibyte = "Test String"; </code></pre> <p>There are however, useful macros when working with the WinAPI: <code>_T("x")</code> and <code>TEXT("x")</code>, which both expand to <code>L"x"</code> (if your project is set for Unicode) or <code>"x"</code> (if your project properties are set for Multibyte). So for instance, you could use:</p> <pre><code>LPCTSTR lpszTest = _T("Test String"); LPCTSTR lpszTest2 = TEXT("Test String 2"); </code></pre> <p>And this will compile under either unicode or multibyte project settings. As for the reason that there are multiple macros expanding to the same thing, check out <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2004/02/12/71851.aspx" rel="noreferrer">this blog post</a>.</p> <hr> <p>You can also do what you are doing by dynamically allocating memory as you have done, so for instance:</p> <pre><code>LPTSTR lpszDynamic = new TCHAR[100]; // Do something with lpszDynamic delete[] lpszDynamic; </code></pre> <p>However, if you are finding yourself dynamically allocating memory often like this, it might be better to use string classes, such as <code>CString</code> or <code>std::string</code>/<code>std::wstring</code> (I often have the following in my MFC/WinAPI projects):</p> <pre><code>namespace std { #ifdef _UNICODE typedef wstring tstring; #else typedef string tstring; #endif // _UNICODE }; </code></pre>

    1. COI'm pretty sure it's `UNICODE` for the winapi stuff, you can't add things to `std`, and you can just do `typedef std::basic_string<TCHAR> tstring;`, but it's still a bad idea since `std::to_string` and stuff like that won't work. I just use `std::wstring` and forget about supporting operating systems from way back.

    2. CO@chris I just have a bunch of `typedef`d and `#define`d stuff which includes `std::to_string` (as `std::to_tstring`), etc. But yes, you're probably right that it isn't necessary.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
