ListView_SetItemText argument problem

Ok, in my program im working with std::basic_string<WCHAR> and std::basic_string<CHAR> variables, but the function ListView_SetItemText receives the text in the type of LPWSTR. Is there any way of "transforming" that std::basic_string<WCHAR> to a LPWSTR? Or is there another function that i can use LPCWSTR? Thank you in advance.

In this case, it is safe to use a cast:

Code:

---

ListView_SetItemText(hwnd, 1, 1, const_cast<LPWSTR>(mystring.c_str()));

---

Really thank you

I prefer to use a temporary array(std::vector) and thereby avoid the const_cast:

Code:

---

std::vector<WCHAR> tmp(mystring.begin(),mystring.end());
tmp.push_back(L'\0');
ListView_SetItemText(hwnd,1,1,&tmp[0]);
