Conversion of CHAR

[ManTis]

i have this error:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\nanana\main.cpp(65) : error C2664: 'addTextSceneNode' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'char [21]' to 'const unsigned short *'


How to convert char type variable to a irrlicht-usable string? the L"somethinghere" type?

[ManTis]

to make this question more clear -
i have this code:

char name[21];
std::cout << "What is your name?\n";
std::cin >> name;

i want to show 'name' in add TextSceneNode

update:
I've got it: i use MultiByteToWideChar

[bal]

irr::core::stringc(name).c_str()

or something similar.

[Spintz]

bal means - irr::core::stringw(name).c_str()



so -

Code: Select all

char name[21];
std::cout << "What is your name?" << endl;
std::cin >> name;
core::stringw wstr = name;

then use wstr.c_str ( ) as your argument to the text for your TextSceneNode.
