Cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const char [14]' to 'LPCWSTR'

Question

I am getting this error: ``` cannot convert parameter 2 from 'const char [14]' to 'LPCWSTR' ``` With the code below. It is supposed to be C but at best visual studio 2012 offers an empty c++ project: ``` #include "windows.h" int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hinst, HINSTANCE hprevinst, LPSTR cmdline, int showcmd) { MessageBox(NULL, "Merhaba Dunya", "Merhaba", MB_OK); return 0; } ``` What is incorrect?

Accepted Answer

It seems your current settings are set up so that WinAPI functions expect wide strings:

```
MessageBox(NULL, L"Merhaba Dunya", L"Merhaba", MB_OK);
```
