OemToChar info  Overview  Group

The OemToChar function translates a string from the OEM-defined character set into either an ANSI or a wide-character string. (OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer.)

BOOL OemToChar(

    LPCSTR lpszSrc,

// pointer to string to translate

    LPTSTR lpszDst 

// pointer to buffer for translated string

   );

Parameters

lpszSrc
Points to a null-terminated string of characters from the OEM-defined character set.
lpszDst
Points to the buffer for the translated string. If the OemToChar function is being used as an ANSI function, the string can be translated in place by setting the lpszDst parameter to the same address as the lpszSrc parameter. This cannot be done if OemToChar is being used as a wide-character function.

Return Values

The return value is always nonzero.
