How do I get a null-terminate string in PB?

Question:
When I use Windows API functions in PB, the null-terminate string is often needed. For example, when I use GetSaveFileName,the parameter lpstrFilter is really a trouble to me. Please give me the tip to resolve this problem.

Answer:
All strings in PB are automatically null-terminated. When you make your API call, PowerBuilder will make sure the string is in the correct format for you.
