Hi all,
when I have a component with a caption and want fill it with
a std::string I have to use the c_str() function:
string text;
text = "Button";
Button1->Caption = text.c_str();
This is not fine, because the string is converted to a char* and
then converted again to an AnsiString...
Is there a better possibility ??
Thanks Mauro

c_str() method simply returns a pointer to the std::string's internal
buffer. The same is true of AnsiString's c_str() method as well.
concept of the str::string class. Passing char* pointers back and forth is
the only commonality they have with each other, since they both support
char* pointers.
