CW2AEX Class
This class is used by the string conversion macros CT2AEX, CW2TEX, CW2CTEX, and CT2CAEX, and the typedef CW2A.
Important
This class and its members cannot be used in applications that execute in the Windows Runtime.
Syntax
template<int t_nBufferLength = 128>
class CW2AEX
Parameters
t_nBufferLength
The size of the buffer used in the translation process. The default length is 128 bytes.

Remarks
Unless extra functionality is required, use CT2AEX, CW2TEX, CW2CTEX, CT2CAEX, or CW2A in your code.
This class contains a fixed-size static buffer that is used to store the result of the conversion. If the result is too large to fit into the static buffer, the class allocates memory using malloc, freeing the memory when the object goes out of scope. This ensures that, unlike text conversion macros available in previous versions of ATL, this class is safe to use in loops and that it won't overflow the stack.
If the class tries to allocate memory on the heap and fails, it will call AtlThrow with an argument of E_OUTOFMEMORY.
By default, the ATL conversion classes and macros use the current thread's ANSI code page for the conversion. If you want to override that behavior for a specific conversion, specify the code page as the second parameter to the constructor for the class.

Example

Requirements
Header: atlconv.h
CW2AEX::CW2AEX
The constructor.
CW2AEX(LPCWSTR psz, UINT nCodePage) throw(...);
CW2AEX(LPCWSTR psz) throw(...);
Parameters
psz
The text string to be converted.
nCodePage
The code page used to perform the conversion. See the code page parameter discussion for the Windows SDK function MultiByteToWideChar for more details.
Remarks
Allocates the buffer used in the translation process.
CW2AEX::~CW2AEX
The destructor.
~CW2AEX() throw();
Remarks
Frees the allocated buffer.
CW2AEX::m_psz
The data member that stores the source string.
LPSTR m_psz;
CW2AEX::m_szBuffer
The static buffer, used to store the converted string.
char m_szBuffer[t_nBufferLength];
CW2AEX::operator LPSTR
Conversion operator.
operator LPSTR() const throw();
Return Value
Returns the text string as type LPSTR.
