Retrieving QString from TCHAR

[jpn]

Using the NativeWindow class prints a blank line.

Then perhaps you'll have to pass true as initializeWindow parameter. I don't have access to a Windows machine atm so I cannot test myself, sorry.

I've solved the problem. The following code gives me what I want.

#include <QWidget>
#include <windows.h>
 
HWND hChild;
PTSTR pTitle;
QString str;
char cTitle[8];
 
hChild = GetForegroundWindow();
pTitle = (PTSTR) malloc ( 8 * sizeof (TCHAR)) ;
GetWindowText( hChild, pTitle, 8);
 
 
for( int i=0; i<7; i++)
{
  cTitle[i] = static_cast<char>( *(pTitle + i));
  str.append( cTitle[i]);
}
 
labelTitle->setText( str);

#include <QWidget>
#include <windows.h>

HWND hChild;
PTSTR pTitle;
QString str;
char cTitle[8];

hChild = GetForegroundWindow();
pTitle = (PTSTR) malloc ( 8 * sizeof (TCHAR)) ;
GetWindowText( hChild, pTitle, 8);


for( int i=0; i<7; i++)
{
  cTitle[i] = static_cast<char>( *(pTitle + i));
  str.append( cTitle[i]);
}

labelTitle->setText( str);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Not sure how universal such an approach is, but my target platform is specific, so not a problem.

@GTBuilder: Your approach is wrong as it only works for ascii window titles.
