String Convert

Hi How can i convert const std::string& sMyString to a CString ? Can anyone help thanks Simon

what about reading the docs first ? did you see the method std::string::c_str() ?

std::string s = "hello";
CString str = s.c_str();

Provided UNICODE is not defined... ;P

that's right. otherwise, the following should do it :

CString str = CA2T(s.c_str());

If you have question about other converts see these link: here[^] and here[^]. :)

Or simply use std::tstring[^], then it does not matter if UNICODE is defined or not.

:omg: I didn't know the std:: namespace had implemented such a container... or is it MS that voluntarily pushed themselves into the std namespace (which is normally reserved to the C++ standard only) with such ? (BTW, i don't have a compiler now, and lazy to search for more myself, so, just curious, how is it defined ? i'd bet for namespace std { typedef basic_string<TCHAR> tstring; }... what it is actually ?)
