WSTR
Returns a wide-character string representation of a number or ASCII character string
Syntax:
declare function Wstr ( byval n as byte ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as ubyte ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as short ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as ushort ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as long ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as ulong ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as longint ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as ulongint ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as single ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as double ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byref str as const string ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval str as const wstring ptr ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as ubyte ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as short ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as ushort ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as long ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as ulong ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as longint ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as ulongint ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as single ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval n as double ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byref str as const string ) as wstring
declare function Wstr ( byval str as const wstring ptr ) as wstring
Usage:
result = Wstr( number )
or
result = Wstr( string )Parameters:
number
Numeric expression to convert to a wide-character string.
string
String expression to convert to a wide-character string.
Return Value:
Returns the wide-character representation of the numeric or string expression.
Description:
Wstr converts numeric variables to their wide-character string representation. It is the wide-character equivalent to Str.
Wstr also converts ASCII character strings to Unicode character strings. If a wide-character string is given, that string is returned unmodified.
Wstr also converts ASCII character strings to Unicode character strings. If a wide-character string is given, that string is returned unmodified.
Examples:
#if defined( __FB_WIN32__ )
#include "windows.bi"
#endif
Dim zs As ZString * 20
Dim ws As WString * 20
zs = "Hello World"
ws = WStr(zs)
#if defined( __FB_WIN32__ )
MessageBox(null, ws, WStr("Unicode 'Hello World'"), MB_OK Or MB_ICONINFORMATION)
#else
Print ws
Print WStr("Unicode 'Hello World'")
#endif
#include "windows.bi"
#endif
Dim zs As ZString * 20
Dim ws As WString * 20
zs = "Hello World"
ws = WStr(zs)
#if defined( __FB_WIN32__ )
MessageBox(null, ws, WStr("Unicode 'Hello World'"), MB_OK Or MB_ICONINFORMATION)
#else
Print ws
Print WStr("Unicode 'Hello World'")
#endif
Platform Differences:
- DOS does not support Wstr.
Dialect Differences:
- Not available in the -lang qb dialect unless referenced with the alias __Wstr.
Differences from QB:
- New to FreeBASIC
