I have a problem,

I will test this public function:

bool FeatureManager::isFeatureActivated(CString section, CString key)
{
    bool isActivated = false;
    char  returnedString[MAX_PATH] = _T("");
    CString  path = getPath();
    path.Replace("\\", "\\\\");
    path += "InternFeatures.ini";
    
    if (GetPrivateProfileString(_T(section), _T(key), "", returnedString, sizeof(returnedString), _T(path)))
    {
        CString currentValue = returnedString;
        if (currentValue == "{ja}")
        {
            isActivated = true;
        }   
    }

    return isActivated; 
}

the getPath is a private method, now the first question how can I Mock the getPath method.

CString FeatureManager::getPath()

and the GetPrivateProfileString is a WinBase.h method, and this is the second question, how can I mock this?

You may not mock the free function `GetPrivateProfileString`, but you may add a virtual method that invokes `GetPrivateProfileString` and mock this new method. – 273K Dec 06 '21 at 17:09
oh, can you give me an example? – jdeber Dec 07 '21 at 06:40
@j The examples are in the duplicated questions. – 273K Dec 07 '21 at 07:06
