How Float to Widestring?

[binbyte]

I have a problem when trying to write in Delphi a program that I wrote a time ago in Visual Basic. I, instead of using Stringrid, want to use Msflexgrid, for which I concerned it using import ActiveX from Delphi but the problem is that when trying to put the values of an array in the grid, for example:

for i := 1 to nRows-1 do
Begin
For j := 1 to nCols -1 do
Begin
temp := FloatToStr(A[i, j ]);
FlexGrid.textmatrix[j, i] := temp;
end;
end;

I got an error message because the property textmatrix has format widestring and not string like property Cells de Stringrid. If somebody has had this problem before or if somebody has idea of like solving it and to give some aid me.

Thanks

That's wierd, to the best of my knowledge the compiler adds code to convert between string types as neccessary automatically. You could try declaring temp as a WideString to force it to do the conversion (if you ahevn't already).

try this :

...
FlexGrid.textmatrix[j, i] := WideString(temp); 
...
