Unfortunately the VS debugger is not showing a value for tempString (it is not listed). temp2 looks ok though.

My MFC has a text box that stores the result from a "choose directory" dialog box. I encounter problems when I try to create a path object from the value of this textbox. The debugger shows the value of scanPath (what I call my path object) to be "" which is then causing hangs and exceptions...
Below is the code I am trying to use. I do not see why the constructor will not recognize the parameter I am passing to it: //m_scanPath is a control variable for the textbox containing the directory.
CString temp2; //Since the stuff in the textbox is a CString.
m_scanPath.GetWindowText(temp2); //Get the directory entered in the textbox.
const char * tempString = temp2.GetBuffer(); //Convert it to a const char *.
fs::path scanPath(tempString); //This does not work even though the param is a const char *)
What am I doing wrong? I imagine it is some type of type casting problem?
Thanks in Advance,
Ryan
