std::wcout << ptr;



should work because it is compatible to an wchar_t*.
You can also construct a std::wstring of an BSTR that is no nullptr.


std::wstring


nullptr



If you wish to create a std::string of it you can check outher questions like
this one but be aware of the ideas of encoding. BSTR is encoded as UTF-16.


std::string





Appreciate your std::wcout answer. But how to convert it to std::string?
