QString equivalent to sprint( str, "%hd",...)

[Rayven]

Is there an equivalent to sprintf( str, "%hd", intToShort) for QString::arg? I noticed in the docs that QString::sprintf does not support the %h flag, but is there a way to write the short?

Thanks

just use QString("....%1....").arg(x); while this will probably use the int overload, this will work.

signed short int     shi  = 10;
unsigned short int   usi  = 11;
signed long int      sli  = 12;
unsigned long int    uli  = 13;
QString              qs   = "Hello World";
 
QString mystring = QString("%1 - %2 - %3 - %4 - %5").arg(shi).arg(usi).arg(sli).arg(uli).arg(qs);

signed short int     shi  = 10;
unsigned short int   usi  = 11;
signed long int      sli  = 12;
unsigned long int    uli  = 13;
QString              qs   = "Hello World";
 
QString mystring = QString("%1 - %2 - %3 - %4 - %5").arg(shi).arg(usi).arg(sli).arg(uli).arg(qs);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This will result in:
10 - 11 - 12 - 13 - Hello World

Just as easy as that. If you need to make sure data is short and not long, double or other, you should typecast or convert instead of relying on %h from sprintf.

... or use additional parameters to QString::arg().
