const void* problem

Hi there!

I'd like to use a Comm Port object. It has a Write function, which has two variable inputs. One is a const void*, the other is an int.

The const void* is the variable sent out via a comport, and the int is the length of the characters to send.

My question is: How can I make a const void* from a simple AnsiString?

Thanks!

Should be a simple matter of casting. Something like this:

Code:

---

char myString[200];
string myString2;
// do stuff
const void* constVoidString = (const void*)myString;
const void* constVoidString2 = (const void*)myString2.c_str();

---

You don't have to cast a pointer when assigning to a void*, only when you are going from a void* to a typed pointer

Thanks!

I forgot about the brackets :) It's been awhile since I did things like this :)
