Represent a bit vector

Hello people,

I'm looking to manipulate a vector of bits, but some basic types like QBitArray, QByteArray not allow me to conversion string and be shown on the label.
I also tried to use QVector.

What do you recommend?

Some inspiration:
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/WorkingWithRawData

Code:

---

QBitArray ba(10);
ba.setBit(5, true);
ba.setBit(7, true);
 
QString text;
for (int i = 0; i < ba.size(); ++i)
    text += ba.testBit(i) ? "1": "0";
qDebug() << text;

You might like to reverse bit order.

If you are manipulating a small number of bits then direct use of an unsigned int is also a possibility.

Code:

---

unsigned int bitmap = 0;
bitmap |= 1 << 5;
bitmap |= 1 << 7;
qDebug() << QString::number(bitmap, 2);

Thanks guys.
