Thread: Help on String Conversions

Hi,

i am using eVC++( client side) to get some input from the dialog and send it to a server running as a console application in VC++. I have 2 edit boxes with one of the m having a mapping to a CString object and the other mapped to an integer value.
I need to pack these 2 values and send it as a CString object to my Send function.

I need to convert my integer valriable m_value to CString object so that i can concatenate the 2 CStrings.

What i tried to was :
CString m_strMessage,m_str;
CString str;
char* value="";
value=(char *)&m_value;
mbstowcs(str,value,sizeof(value));

m_strMessage = m_str + str;
// Send message to server
UINT uiResult = Send(m_strMessage);

The program gave the following error:
error C2664: 'mbstowcs' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class CString' to 'unsigned short *'

Can someone please help me on how to convert an integer value to a CString object.

Thanks,
Prasad

I'm not a fan of MFC, so I don't know much about CString. But, assuming that CString has a constructor accepting a const char*, you can try this:

Code:

#include <sstream>

// ....

CString number_to_string(int number)
{
  std::ostringstream oss; 
  oss << number;

  return CString(oss.str().c_str());
}

Hi,

i found the way to do it. i used the Format method of the CString Class.

for example to convert to integers i used:

CString str;
int i=15;

str.Format(_T("%d"), i);

It worked for me.

Thanx for the replies. i really appreciate your help.
