Thread: CString conversion for socket send()

>> ....so used the variable type DWORD
DWORD is basicaly an unsigned int. Aren't Code-128 barcodes alpha-numeric?

You can use functions like wcstombs() to convert a wchar_t string to a char string. So you can keep using a CString for you edit-box, and convert it to a char string where you need it.

Hey codeplug, thanks for looking again,
I attempted to follow MSDN's example of wcstombs() with the following code and got barked at with an error:

Code:

string bc;
		wcstombs (bc, m_Barcode, NULL);
	m_BarCode += bc;

m_Barcode is my edit box CString
bc just being a string I use to store my conversion and then add it to my string m_BarCode.

Sorry codeplug I forgot to send the error message, that might help identify where I am messing up.

Code:

 error C2664: 'wcstombs' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> >' to 'char *'
        No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called
C:\TRANSFERLAP\MEATPLANT\Mobile\MobileDlg.cpp(186) : error C2593: 'operator =' is ambiguous

I finally figured out the example on MSDN, and the conversion is working well. Codeplug, Thanks a Million, that worked great!
