const char* to String object

[Kojo105]

I am using the QT Library for a project and I want to convert a const char* into a QString object. Is this possible?

Doesn't look like anyone is familiar with this "QT" library. Give us some more information about it. Does it have any documentation, help?

The QT library is similar to Motif in that it is a toolkit used mainly to give platform independence to GUI applications.

Perhaps this is a silly question, but have you tried this?

QString str( "Hello" );

Most worthwhile string classes provide a constructor based on const char*.

Yes, QString(const char*) constructor can do it. Moreover, class QString includes "hidden" constructors like (static) member functions QString QString::fromLatin1(const char*,xxx) and QString QString::fromLocal8Bit(const char*,xxx). Main constructor may be "disabled" with QT_NO_CAST_ASCII macros in the application (check it), but fromXX members will be active as ever. Read excellent Trolltech (
