Hi:
I have always used single byte strings, so have no idea how to use wchar_t.
I have a library for use with BCB5 that uses wchar_t for all its strings.
In a simple case of the following (which doesn't work):

        int destSize = 512;               //how do I calculate this??
        wchar_t* dest = new wchar_t(destSize);
        dest = OpenDialog1->FileName.WideChar(dest,destSize);
        delete dest;

how do I get the OpenDialog1->FileName to be a wchar_t ?

Thank you in advance for your help.
