Event.Text.Unicode problem

[Fox3]

How do I convert it to string?

Three possibilities:
- if you're interested in ASCII only, make sure that the value is lesser than 128 and cast the value to a char
- if your locale is Latin-1 (or compatible), you can safely cast to char with values up to 255
- otherwise, if you want a real conversion from UTF-32 to your current 8-bits locale, you have to use the functions in sf::Unicode

Most people don't care about non-ASCII or non-Latin-1 characters, and just do a cast.

It doesnt work
Or I did it wrong ^^' Sorry I'm new to this;

Code: [Select]

if(event.Type == sf::Event::TextEntered)
{
std::string str;
if(event.Text.Unicode < 256)
{
str = (std::string)event.Text.Unicode;
}
titlein.addinput(str);
}

The error is

error: invalid conversion from `sf::Uint32' to `const char*'

I didn't say "cast to string", I said "cast to char". Indeed this is a single character, not a string.

Code: [Select]

str += static_cast<char>(event.Text.Unicode);

Oh sorry, my bad. Thanks
