I'm currently writing a nickname saver in C++ (on request from dakillerspyder), but I'm having trouble with Messenger's get_MyFriendlyName() method. The method takes a single argument, a BSTR*.

here is the code I'm currently using:

code:

---

char* nick;
    BSTR nickTemp;
    hMessenger->get_MyFriendlyName(&nickTemp);
    nick = (char*)nickTemp;

---

This successfully gets me the first character, but only the first character. How do I get the rest of the nickname?

UPDATE: Found the problem (bloody Unicode!)

UPDATE 2: Fixed! I wrote my own conversion routine.
