Connect LPCWSTRs

Question

Hi,
is it possible to connect two LPCWSTRs?
e.g.:

#include<Windows.h>
#include<tchar.h>

// ...
LPCWSTR a = L"asdf";
LPCWSTR b = L"jklö";
LPCWSTR c = a + b; // error
// ...

doesn't work.

Hope I will get some answers,
S.A.

LPCWSTR -> Long Pointer Const Wide STRing = const wchar_t*.
Can you use '+' operator on const char*/wchar_t*? you can't (unless you use C++ std::string/std::wstring or any other std/third party library). So, the way to add to the string/wide string would be using strcat/wcscat method.

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include <wchar.h>

int main()
{
LPCWSTR a = L"hello ";
LPCWSTR b = L"world!";
WCHAR buf[13];
wcscpy(buf, a);
wcscat(buf, b);
std::wcout << buf << L'\n';
return 0;
}
