Question : Problem: How do I convert an octal CString to an integer using eVC on WinCE?

I need to convert a 3-digit octal MFC CString (with leading zeroes) to a numeric integer. For example "110" would be 72, and "077" would be 63. It needs to compile using Embedded Visual C++ 4 and run on WinCE 4, and preferably use an efficient API or standard library function.

That means you are compiling UNICODE. Use 'wcstol()' instead, i.e.

1:	int value = wcstol( (LPCTSTR)text, NULL, 8 );
