Precompiler replacements

[trfillos]

Hello,

I am facing the following situation. In my code at a point I need to declare a std::wstring and compare it with a text "MessageBox" read from a file. e.g

if (filetext == L"MessageBox")
{
do something...
}

My problem is that the word MessageBox is defined as MessageBoxW in windows.h (I think) and the precompiler replaces the string with MessageBoxW. So I actually compare my text with MessageBoxW.

Is there any solution/trick to override this problem or do I have to change the text I use?

Thanks!

For Unicode, use std::wstring instead.

Sorry but i already use std::wstring (was writen false).
The code i use is:
#define IMPROVED_ENUM_NAME Flags
#define IMPROVED_ENUM_LIST ENUMITEM_VALUE(Log, 1) \
ENUMITEM_VALUE(ErrorLog, 2) \
ENUMITEM_VALUE(BoxMessage, 4) \
ENUMITEM_VALUE(TextMessage, 8) \
ENUMITEM_VALUE(Acknowledge, 16) \
ENUMITEM_VALUE(Reset, 32)
#include "defineImprovedEnum.h"

with "BoxMessage" instead of "MessageBox" works fine. Otherwise precompiler this that owns "MessageBox" and replace it with MessageBoxW because the Character Set is for unicode.
