Use the WideCharToMultiByte() function

Alternatively, it is possible for VB to pass ANSI strings.  If your declare
the function to take char* instead of BSTR, and then in the VB declaration
if you declare the function parameter to use "ByVal As String", that usually
does a conversion for you.  It has to be able to do that, because a lot of
Win32 API functions are not Unicode either, so it has to convert when
calling those as well.
