wchar_t conversion (aka: arghhh ... bloody wchar_t´s)

[StickyBit]

Hi guys

Damn .. I'm banging my head against the wall right now - cuz´ I just cant figure out how to convert the Gui´s editboxes wchar_t values - into something usefull. Damn you wchar_t´s

Could someone please post a code snippet for converting the editbox content to a char* and an int. The code need to work with mingw (win32) and gcc (Linux).

Regards Stickybit

This question has been asked a million time, and a quick search give you an answer, this one for example :

I do it the easy way, like this

Code: Select all

wchar_t* SomePointer;
stringc Temp(SomePointer);
char *AnotherPointer=Temp.c_str();

//Or the other way around

char* SomePointer;
stringw Temp(SomePointer);
wchar_t *AnotherPointer=Temp.c_str();

I'm surprised that a lot of people have missed the simple and handy function atoi. Guess what it does? It takes an ascii-string and returns an integer

Code: Select all

char *SomeString;
int MyInt=atoi(SomeString);
