'What is the necessary lifetime for SetWindowTextA string parameter
I have a program that creates a std::string s on the heap and passes it to the SetWindowTextA(hWnd, s.c_str())
My question is how long does that string need to live? Does SetWindowTitleA copy the string or do I need to keep the string alive?
Solution 1:[1]
Since my question was answered in the comments here is the the quick answer to anyone having the same question:
Yes SetWindowTitleA will create a copy of the passed in const* char. So the necessary lifetime is until the function returns. Then the passed string can be deleted, dropped or whatever.
