strings and buffers

[Nokia_Archive]

Hi ,
I am working on porting an application from ER5 to Nokia 9210 platform. I have to do a lot of conversions from char* to TDes16, for example when I want to print a char* string in InfoMsg box.
But the number of classes (TBuf, TDes TPtr, HBuf and there respective 8 and 16 bit versions)and their interconversions are terrifying.

Pl advice asap on how I can be able to print a simple char string like
char * abc = "hi how are you?" ;

in an EPOC message box, to say the least..

Regards,
Ash.

Hi,
Try this:

_LIT( HiHowAreYouText, "hi how are you?" ) ;
iEikEnv->InfoWinL( HiHowAreYouText, TPtrC() ) ;

or

iEikEnv->InfoWinL( _L("hi how are you?"), TPtrC() ) ;
if you dont want to use the text in other places.

The TPtrC() will be changed to any other string.
