winrt::hstring struct (C++/WinRT)

Článek
02/06/2024

A sequential collection of UTF-16 Unicode characters representing a text string. For more examples and info about winrt::hstring, see String handling in C++/WinRT.

The winrt::hstring type encapsulates HSTRING behind an interface similar to that of std::wstring. A HSTRING is a handle to a Windows Runtime string. For info about how to set an HSTRING into a winrt::hstring, and how to retrieve an HSTRING from a winrt::hstring, see Interoperating with the ABI's HSTRING.

Iterators

An hstring is a range, and that range is defined by the hstring::begin and hstring::end member functions, each of which returns a const iterator (as do hstring::cbegin and hstring::cend). Because of this, you can enumerate the characters in an hstring object with either a range-based for statement, or with the std::for_each template function.

#include <iostream>
using namespace winrt;
...
void Iterators(hstring const& theHstring)
{
    for (auto const& element : theHstring)
    {
        std::wcout << element;
    }

    std::for_each(theHstring.cbegin(), theHstring.cend(), [](T const& element) { std::wcout << element; });
}

hstring::hstring constructor

Initializes a new instance of the hstring struct with a copy of the input string data.

Syntax

hstring() noexcept;
hstring(winrt::hstring const& h);
explicit hstring(std::wstring_view const& v);
hstring(wchar_t const* c);
hstring(wchar_t const* c, uint32_t s);

Parameters

h An hstring value that initializes the hstring object.

v A std::wstring_view value that initializes the hstring object.

c A pointer to an array of constant wchar_t that initializes the hstring object.

s A number that specifies a fixed size for the hstring object.

using namespace winrt;
...
