Ok, nother prob, wchar_t to char array

[killer7]

i need to get the text out of my text box so i did:

Code: Select all

char Name[51];
Name = namebox->getText();

but it wont convert the unicode wchar_t to standered char

How do i do it.

P.S.
I find your forums VERY helpful and the people bery nice

Try:

Code: Select all

Name = namebox->getText().c_str();

Here is the error it gave me with your new code:

main.cpp:141: request for member `c_str' in `
(*(namebox->irr::gui::IGUIElement::_vptr$IUnknown + 52))(namebox)', which is
of non-aggregate type `const wchar_t*'


This is first time dev-c++ ever thru an error i dont know what it means

You could do a couple different things here. The getText() function return the text from the box as a pointer to a wchar_t array. The irrlicht 'core::stringc' stirng class has an operator which will convert the wchar_t* array into the core::stringc format ( which is standard ascii style c string ).

For example -

Code: Select all

core::stringc str;
str = namebox->getText ( );
