Assign a wchar_t array to QString

[jacky]

I use QString::fromWCharArray(wchar_t*) to assign a wchar_t array to QString but the QString always is empty.

Here is my code:

wchar_t * temp = new wchar_t[4];
    temp[0] = 'a'; temp[1] = 'b'; temp[3] = 'c'; temp[4] = 0;
    QString test;
    test.fromWCharArray(temp);

wchar_t * temp = new wchar_t[4];
    temp[0] = 'a'; temp[1] = 'b'; temp[3] = 'c'; temp[4] = 0;
    QString test;
    test.fromWCharArray(temp);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The result is test = "". My expectation is test = "abc".

I appreciate very much if anyone could tell me what's wrong.
Many thanks in advance.

First of all, QString::fromWCharArray() is a STATIC method which RETURNS the converted string:

QString test = QString::fromWCharArray(temp);

QString test = QString::fromWCharArray(temp);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Secondly, the initialization of your wchar array is wrong. It's not an array of chars but wide chars. Try something like this:

wchar_t * temp = L"abc";

wchar_t * temp = L"abc";

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

I tried the second but it doesn't help

wchar_t * temp = L"abc";
QString test;
test.fromWCharArray(temp);

wchar_t * temp = L"abc";
QString test;
test.fromWCharArray(temp);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

test = "" finally.

Many thanks for your help anyway.

I told you that QString::fromWCharArray() is a static method that RETURNS the string. Statement

test.fromWCharArray(temp);

test.fromWCharArray(temp);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

as not effect at all.

Many thanks for your help.

Jacky, please read posts carefully. As jpn said, you have to do like this:

QString test = QString::fromWCharArray(temp);

QString test = QString::fromWCharArray(temp);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

bacause QString::fromWCharArray() is a STATIC member function. Please check some C++ tutorial if you don't clearly understand what static members are.
