CStringT::AnsiToOem

Converts all the characters in this CStringT object from the ANSI character set to the OEM character set.

void AnsiToOem();

Remarks

The function is not available if _UNICODE is defined.

Example

// OEM character 252 on most IBM-compatible computers in 
// Western countries/regions is superscript n, as in 2^n. 
// Converting it to the ANSI English charset results in a 
// normal character 'n', which is the closest possible 
// representation.

CStringT<char, StrTraitATL<char, ChTraitsCRT<char>>> str((WCHAR)252);
str.OemToAnsi();
ASSERT(str[0] == 'n');

// Be aware that in OEM to ANSI conversion the 'n' 
// from the previous result cannot be converted back to 
// a supsercript n because the system does not know what 
// the character's value truly was.
str.AnsiToOem();
ASSERT(str[0] != 252);
ASSERT(str[0] == 'n');
