RE: window controls

Well I would if it was that simple but if you define UNICODE TCHAR is short
int. I solved it by not converting at all. I used SetWindowTextA.

I answer that one because Fulbert only coded the Windows related stuff,
I'm the one who gave him the GL string...

...and I just don't understand your problem.
TCHAR is a char, why don't you just cast the GL string pointer?!
