  i am trying to extract individual chars from LPCSTR variable inside a callback function. i used the following code.
  

  
  LPCSTR lp;
  [section that assigns proper value for lp]
  MessageBox(hwnd, lp, blah, blah); //to make sure lp holds the desired string
  //and i confirmed that lp is assigned properly
  char c0;
  char c1;
  char c2; //for now, i am interested in only the first three char of the string pointed by lp
  

  
  c0=(lp);
  c1=(lp+1);
  c2=*(lp+2);
  

  
  BUT.....it doesn't work. I am not sure what's wrong here. From what I understand, lp is a char*. Please help me out. Thank you in advance.
