Detailed Description

Function Documentation

◆ ToCP()

MaxStringCastCP ToCP ( UINT  codepage,
size_t length = NULL 
) const

Returns a MaxStringCastCP which in turn enables casting to a char array encoded with a specific code page.

The char array held by the MaxStringCastCP instance is valid as long as the instance is valid.

Parameters
codepage- The code page to convert to
length[out] - If length is not null, the size of the resulting string is stored to the length pointer.
Returns
- A MaxStringCastCP instance that can be used to cast to a char* array.

◆ ToACP()

MaxStringCast<char> ToACP ( size_t length = NULL) const

Cast this object to a char array using Active Code Page encoding.

Parameters
length[out] - If length is not null, the size of the resulting string is stored to the length pointer.
Returns
A MaxStringCast<char> instance that can be used to cast to a char* array.

MaxString::ToCP(UINT,size_t*)

◆ ToUTF8()

MaxStringCastUTF8 ToUTF8 ( size_t length = NULL) const

Cast this object to a UTF8 encoded string.

Parameters
length[out] - If length is not null, the size of the resulting string is stored to the length pointer.
Returns
A MaxStringCastUTF8 instance that can be used to cast to a char* array.

MaxString::ToCP(UINT,size_t*)

◆ ToUTF16()

MaxStringCast<wchar_t> ToUTF16 ( size_t length = NULL) const

Cast this object to a UTF16 or UNICODE encoded string.

Parameters
length[out] - If length is not null, the size of the resulting string is stored to the length pointer.
Returns
A MaxStringCast<wchar_t> instance that can be used to cast to a wchar_t* array.
See also
MaxString::ToCP(UINT,size_t*)

◆ ToUTF32()

MaxStringCast<unsigned int> ToUTF32 ( size_t length = NULL) const

Cast this object to a UTF32 encoded string.

Parameters
length[out] - If length is not null, the size of the resulting string is stored to the length pointer.
Returns
A MaxStringCast<unsigned int> instance that can be used to cast to an unsigned int* array.
