    Hi,

    I am porting a large codebase to winstore, but got stuck with some string functions. CharNext (and CharNextExA) have become Desktop-only. Still, several functions in our libraries need to iterate through MBCS strings. What is the correct way to do this in WinStore apps?

    Thank You,

    György

    For Windows Store apps, the APIs are designed to support only UNICODE. You can use MultiByteToWideChar to convert MBCS to UNICODE. Then moving to the next character is always a simple +1 index.
