WString::ToString

This method converts the wide string to a narrow string and returns it. Narrow to wide string conversion is automatic, but wide to narrow conversion may cause characters to be lost and must be called explicitly.

Syntax

• String ToString()

Returns

Returns a narrow string.

Example

#include "Leadwerks.h"

using namespace Leadwerks;

int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    WString ws = "Hello, how are you today?";
    String s = ws.ToString();

    Print(ws);
    if (ws == s)
    {
        Print("Short string matches wide string");
    }
    else
    {
        Print("Short string does not match wide string");
    }

    Print("");

    ws = L"你好，你今天好吗？";
    s = ws.ToString();

    Print(ws);
    if (ws == s)
    {
        Print("Short string matches wide string");
    }
    else
    {
        Print("Short string does not match wide string");
    }

    return 0;
