LPCTSTR is a "Long Pointer Const to String".
LPCTSTR is a string conversion macro and used a ATL and MFC.
using W2A we can change a LPWSTR to LPCTSTR.
In old version we need to use a USES_CONVERSION method..

Answer / r. seshadri
LPCTSTR is the vestige of 16-bit programming days, when any
Windows programmer is considered to be a wizard who would
look down other programmers "cursed to live in DOS-dom". He
or she had to grapple with near and far pointers that
stemmed from the segmentation memory model used by i286 and
earlier chips. So, it made sense to talk about long
pointers and pointers that are not that long (they could
not jump beyond 65536 address locations).
With the advent of i386 and compilers that supported the 32-
bit architecture, long pointer is only a passe'. We can now
use "const char *" to address anything in available memory.
LPCTSTR is still retained so that your 16-bit programs
don't get banished by your modern systems.
