WCHAR_T problems

[Sindromequijote]

I have seen that irrlicht uses const wchar_t pointers to write "GUI" texts.
I haven't found any function to copy the content of a "const wchar_t *" to another "const wchar_t *", not copying only the pointer to the same content.

I would like to know if exists any fuction that does this work or another easy way to do it instead of making a function to copy wchar to wchar myself.

Thanks.

I don't quite understand what you're getting at, could you be a bit more specific, maybe give us the code you're using?

I'll try to be more specific.

I want to use this function of the IGUI::Font:
virtual void draw (const wchar_t *text, const core::rect< s32 > &position, video::SColor color, bool hcenter=false, bool vcenter=false, const core::rect< s32 > *clip=0)=0

The first parameter is a const wchar_t pointer so:
const wchar_t * text1 = L"Hello";
const wchar_t * text2;
text2 = text1; //this only copies the pointer not the content, I want to have two different Hello's
I was asking for a function or an easy way to do this. I'm not very good using pointers, I'm an Ada programmer XD

Sorry about my English, it isn't my native language

this code is in most of the tutorials

Code: Select all

wchar_t tmp[1024];
swprintf(tmp, 1024, L"[%s] fps:%d", driver->getName(), fps);
device->setWindowCaption(tmp);

Thank you very much for the help.

I'm using wstrings, something like that:

const wchar_t * palabra = titulo_panel.c_str();

Where titulo_papel is a wstring.
