You have a memory leak when you call "new[]" without a corresponding "delete[]" (note that this is "delete[]" with square brackets, not just "delete"). I would suggest taking a more modern C++ approach to reading the file that eliminates the issue of manual memory management altogether:

Include these headers:

#include <fstream>
#include <string>

Then do this:

std::wifstream file(path);
std::wstring contents((std::istreambuf_iterator<wchar_t>(file)),
SetWindowText(hEdit, contents.c_str());

This solves your memory leak and leaves the task of memory management to the C++ standard library.

Overall great tutorial videos though!

[alvinhi]

Nice, did you have example for create trackbar in windows GUI C++

[benmac]

Why do you sometimes use the underscore _ before a variable ?

[brazo]

Thx a lot about your perfect tutorials. So, one question, how can read from a windows a panel objects? For example a label or textedit field? Is this possible with the findwindowex function? Or via getwindowstext? It make me really creepy that problem! Thx a lot for a answere. Please keep healthy! 🖖🏻🖖🏻🖖🏻

I have a problem, can you help me?

I need to read a file, execute a series of procedures (which take time), and during the procedure I want to show text messages (debug) on ​​the "hEdit" screen. However, it is only after the process is finished that writing is done on the "hEdit" screen. Is there any way for the two processes to coexist?

[MisterTyken]

Awesome work, I've found something that might prove to be difficult for the viewers that I've run into. If you don't load a file then it crashes because it doesn't have a file to load and goes onto the next function as if it did. A little help on this fix would be helpful
