Post From: CreateFile - Error

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
