void StaticTextChange( char *addtext ) 
{
    wchar_t msg[20];
    swprintf(msg, 20, L"%s", addtext);
    StaticTextPtr->setText(msg);     // static text
}

Why does this create little squares in the statictextbox ?

What have I missed ?

I found that swprintf works fine for converting number or constant text

Ive now found ....

Code: Select all

mbstowcs(msg,addtext,20);

which works fine..... be interested to know why swprinf doesnt

hi
swprintf works fine! you just need to make 'addtext' a pointer to wchar_t rather than char

for me, swprintf tends to work awfully bad when compiling under windows, and perfectly well under linux.

In windows, i always get those pretty (as hell) squares

Hmm, that sounds like the correct character isn't being used, I don't know why it would do that. Sounds pretty erratic. Do you recon it could be loading the wrong character set?
