    Hello,
    I can't find a way to initialize a CharBufferString from a WString.

    I've done something similar for a STRING:

    Declaration:

        astring     : STRING(1000);
    cbs         : Stu.CharBufferString(uiBufferSize:=2000, stringType:=__SYSTEM.TYPE_CLASS.TYPE_STRING);
    pst         : POINTER TO STRING;

    Code:

    astring:='... a very long string ...';
cbs.FromString(astring);
pst := cbs.m_cbpBuffer;

    But I can't find a "FromString" method that takes a WSTRING.
    Any idea?

    Thanks in advance.

    You need to use the method Initialize passing the pointer to the WSTRING and the proper __SYSTEM.TYPE_CLASS, i.e __SYSTEM.TYPE_CLASS.TYPE_WSTRING.

    Hello stmos,
    I just start to work with the CharBufferString. Do you maybe have a simple example project to understand how it works?

    Hi,
    I'm sorry, but no... I don't have a sample project at the moment. I'm not even really an expert with the CharBufferString... 😢
