Re: QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString returns -37

Hi all,

Using Windows QT SDK ver 7 and Visual Studio 7. 

QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString() does not seem to work when I

pass it a data ref to a Unicode path. It may be as simple a path as

"c:\somedir\somesubdir\myfile.mov". I tried with Chinese chars too. The

code is as follows - 

// tmpPath is a wchar_t array of size SOME_SIZE. Wchar_t is a typedef'ed

as // an unsigned short in my VC++ compiler. 

DataReferenceRecord dataRef;

CFStringRef pathstr = CFStringCreateWithCharacters(0, (UniChar*)tmpPath,

SOME_SIZE);

QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString( pathstr, kQTWindowsPathStyle, 0,

&dataRef.dataRef, &dataRef.dataRefType);

QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString() returns an OSErr of -37 which

seems to be defined as -

bdNamErr                      = -37,  /*there may be no bad names in the

final system!*/ in macerrors.h

I have tried the following -

1. Used kQTNativeDefaultPathStyle

2. Used CFStringGetCharactersPtr() after the call to

CFStringCreateWithCharacters() to verify the buffer contents and my

debugger IDE recognized the string so it apparently is good ?

Please help. I'm not sure what to try next.

Thanks.
