Hello guys,

Lets say I have a WCHAR variable which contains a location of 3D Model:
WCHAR g_Model[MAX_PATH] = L"somemodel.x";

Now, In application it happens that I want to change the model from somemodel.x to someothermodel.x

I use the case, where I try to change g_Model variable to handle "someothermodel.x", but I get error:
 error C2440: '=' : cannot convert from 'const wchar_t [14]' to 'WCHAR'

So, I made new WCHAR called g_Model2 which contains someothermodel.x, and I tried:
g_Model = g_Model2

Compiles well, but application crushes (yes, I have tried setting that device does re-set after this change).
Debugger shows tons of stupid errors.

BTW: I have tried changing WCHAR to something else, but didnt work out.

wcscpy(g_Model, L"someothermodel.x"); did the job

If the size of g_Model is not big enough to hold the new model string, then you have created a memory overrun, which is a potential security problem (and a crash that may happen anytime).

It seems that you don't quite understand how strings, arrays and pointers work in C/C++. Thus, I suggest you first learn the language you want to use, before you try to do 3D graphics.

WCHAR max path is 260, which is quite enough (I use like 100 MAX), so no security problems here.
