Hello, in my C++ application,
How to setup UNICODE global variable in C::B?

It seems like it is looking for the UNICODE global #define where I don't know where to set it in the IDE.
Let me know
Thanks

Hi there,
I suddenly realize I can't compile DirectX code using mingw, however, I can do so with VS2010
But one thing, how do I setup, as codeblocks would generate everything in UNICODE, hence strings with L""
I want Visual Studio to have default of UNICODE in codeblocks, how do I set it up?
Thanks
Jack
